Lyndsay Roberts

Lyndsay Roberts is an outstanding Photographer who came to visit us to give a speech on her photography work and what sector of photography she particularly specialises in. The main point she wanted to highlight was that she wanted to change perceptions of mythology. She also takes part in several different themes of photography including scientific, astro, educational and domestic photography.

Roberts had an extreme in depth knowledge of photography, regarding where it originated from and who the founding figures were, she showed us images dating back to 1827 which was the oldest surviving photograph. She was very confident in her delivery, it was clear to the whole class that held a large knowledge of the basis of photography. Roberts taught us the four styles of art that inspired early photography, these styles allowed it to flourish into what it has today, they were Neoclassicism, Romanticism, Impressionism and Pictorialism. I thoroughly enjoyed Lyndsay's presentation as it expanded my view and knowledge of photography, as a lover of this art form it allowed me to gain an insight to the style and early practises of the art.
