About the event

If you love photography and want to dive deeper into what makes great images unforgettable, this session is for you.

Join photographer, author, and academic Tom Ang on an exploration of photography's history. Over the course of 2-hours, Tom will reveal iconic photographs by the masters of the past, uncover the technical innovations that shaped their work, and explore the fascinating contexts of the images.

Much of the material for this talk is drawn from Tom’s book Photography: The Definitive Visual History, which has been adopted by photography courses worldwide and has won multiple awards.

Whether you're looking for creative inspiration or simply want to enjoy a visually rich journey through photographic milestones, you’ll come away from this session with practical ideas to improve your own photography and a deeper appreciation for the art we love to love.

Expect a relaxed, interactive talk with plenty of opportunities for questions and discussion. Come for the images. Stay for the insights. Leave inspired.
