The PHOTOS exhibition

Feb-April 2020

Following on from the runaway success of Catcher Media films ‘Stories from the Hop Yards’ and ‘Carousel’, which premiered to sold-out audiences at Borderlines Film Festival 2018 and 2019, the Herefordshire Life Through A Lens project now culminates in a multi-venue exhibition of photographs from the Derek Evans Studio archive 1940-70s. You may have seen the images portrayed in these films or loved them in the local press and social media: now enjoy a rare chance to get up close and personal with this visual treasure trove of Herefordshire life.

Includes: Derek’s original exhibition prints and his cameras, contemporary images, talks and a pop-up dark room, where you can develop your own print.

“Derek was clearly passionate about Hereford and the region. His image repertoire was affectionate, humanist, liberal and well crafted.
