Eve Arnold 1912 – 2012 - An Appreciation

By John Cogan

Durham Photographic Society member John Cogan has written a fascinating and moving appreciation of the iconic, 20th century photographer Eve Arnold who died recently.

John writes, “If there were to be one photographer, regardless of gender, whom one should emulate as a exemplar for their rapport with their subject, their dedication to the humanity of the people they met regardless of colour or belief it would be Eve Arnold, the quiet and gentle little housewife from Long Island”.

A link to the full article, which includes stunning photographs sourced by John Brown, can be found on the home page of the Durham PS website.
