Free Mines Coal Faces – Nick Hodgson
Nick Hodgson FRPS is a British documentary landscape photographer based in London. His talk, Free Mines Coal Faces, is about his documentary project on coal free mining in the Forest of Dean, which formed part of his Photography MA, his successful FRPS panel submission, an award-winning book and various exhibitions. Nick has also been a member of the RPS Distinctions Panel for the Applied and Documentary photography genres.
In the first section of his talk, Nick discusses mining photography that he researched to inform him about his own approach to the project. He also explains what free mining is and how he published a book of his work (there should be a few copies still available to purchase at the talk). After the break he will go through a number of his images, how he shot them and the challenges he faced. He finishes by talking about postproduction and printing, showing physical examples from his F panel which the audience is also encouraged to look at throughout the evening.
