Vikram Kushwah had never visited the school where his father had thought for 35 years. Only when Vikram told his father that he wanted to do a photo story before his father retired the following year did he begrudgingly arrange a visit. At this year's Photo London Notton is honoured to be showing Kushwah’s deeply personal photographic project "The Education I Never Had" as a feature presentation at the fair. The series is a homage to Kushwah’s father, the school where he worked and parental sacrifices.
The series "RADIOHEAD: The Collodion Wet-Plate Portraits" by Sebastian Edge were taken using the 19th century wet plate collodion photographic process, using the artist’s hand-built camera. The ancient English woodland has been an inspiration and photographic subject for Sebastian for many years, so he was a natural fit for the band when invited to capture images for their forthcoming album written about a thousand year old oak tree.
Founded in 2023, London-based Notton gallery represents an intimate roster of emerging and established contemporary artists working across various mediums including painting, print-making, works on paper and photography.
