Analogue Showcase (previously Analogue Spotlight) is back for a second year at the Photography Show in Birmingham this coming weekend. There are many exciting talks, exhibitors, and demonstrations coming up, so if you are free and have not signed up to go yet, you won’t want to miss this!
The show spans over three days this year, instead of the usual four, as Monday (the 19th) has been canceled because of the Queen’s funeral which will be held then. The organizers of the Photography show decided to cancel the day which they said was a mark of respect for the Queen.
Talks
Talks scheduled feature a variety of topics including camera rescue and repair, experimental photography, wet plate collodion and palladium printing processes, Ilford films, printing your work, self-portraits, and more! You can find the full schedule on the Photography Show website here.
