PHOTOGRAPHER Matt Writtle will be in conversation at the New School House Gallery, Peasholme Green, York, this afternoon at 2pm.
Matt is the London-based photographer behind the Portraits For Posterity series of 30 images of Holocaust survivors which have been shown in York at both the New School House and the University of York as part of the Allowed Voices exhibition.
Today he will be talking about the origins of the project as well as other elements of his practice as a professional photographer and photo-journalist.
Matt began his photographic career in 1992 at the Shropshire Star newspaper, after which he moved on to newspapers in Australia and Hong Kong.
He has worked for most of the national newspaper groups such as the Guardian, The Times, the London Evening Standard and the Press Association news agency, and for commercial, charitable and public relations organisations too.
Past engagements include news photography of the Asian tsunami, Darfur and the death of Diana, Princess of Wales.
