Photography Auction

Photography: Fotis Variatzas, Poster Design: Bruna Martini

MA Photography students at the Sir John Cass Faculty of Art Architecture and Design, London Metropolitan University are holding an auction of photographs on Wednesday May 23^rd 2012, to raise funds for an exhibition of their work during Photomonth 2012.

The fundraising evening will include a talk by award winning photographer Lottie Davies as well as music by Iranian traditional music group, Ahoura. The auction of photographs by students of the Sir John Cass MA Photography course and established photographers will follow the talk and music and be conducted by a professional auctioneer.

Lottie Davies is a multi-award-winning and BAFTA-nominated fine art, travel, editorial and commercial photographer. Her fine art work is themed with stories and personal histories, the tales and myths we use to structure our lives: memories, life-stories, beliefs. She has won recognition in numerous photographic awards including first prize at the Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Awards at the National Portrait Gallery, London in 2008.

Photomonth 2012 is the annual East London Photography Festival which takes place in October and November each year. The festival was founded in 2001 and aims to demonstrate the diversity of contemporary photography. In 2011 over 100 galleries and venues exhibited work by established and emerging photographers. The Cass MA Photography students are planning to exhibit their most recent work as part of the festival in 2012.
