- About this work
-
An engineer by profession, Lorraine Barber was an enthusiastic amateur photographer. Between 1908 and 1948, he lived in India and travelled the subcontinent extensively. His travels proved a fertile source for his photography, and he produced many fine works including landscapes, architectural scenes and still lifes in the Pictorialist style. Originating in England in the early 1890s, Pictorialism was the first truly international photographic movement. Photographers who worked in this style often manipulated their negatives, using soft focal lenses and textured papers to create atmospheric effects.
