Photography of the Victorian era - Ebb & Flow Festival

Learn about the very first photographers in the Old High Street Intra area, their studios and images, and who occupies the same addresses today. This project looks back to a time when the high street was bustling with sailors, theatres and breweries and many photographers were competing for trade. Learn how photographic techniques evolved between 1852-1918; the period when studio portraits first became common place, and find out why your Facebook profile picture might not be such a modern idea after all.

About the artist
