Tim Bradshaw prints February
This is the first show of the Gentleman photographer and master printer, Tim Bradshaw, his work is calmly and politely observant of his subjects and always with permission. His collection of prints over the years varies from social movements to the intricately minute, with his large format observations of the mundane, making us look deeper, at the rise of steam. A polar opposite to the way he photographs people with dignity and grace with his 35mm camera. In the collection are scenes of Bermondsey, skaters of the Southbank and the Appleby fair, as well as the mesmerising detail of his observations of the minute shot with a large format camera.

LIGHTSMITHS
Photography graduates of the CASS art School in Aldgate.
12th - 18th November 15
Amel Mafouf - Joshua Alexander - Ryan Flynt
A show case of recent graduates work from what has been recently contested as the Aldgate Bauhaus. The CASS building has fallen prey to the gentrification of east London, the building now up for sale, and the school of art is to move out of the city centre. As part of the shine bright Iniative, by the campus Dean Robert Mull, Roughprint is proud to exhibit the work made from the school, in the hope of encouraging new students to join in, in an exciting time of the schools history.
William Mokrynski & Katie Jolin,
CONSTRUCT // DESTRUCT
5th - 11th November 15
Two Photographic Artists working with different approaches to the medium, one works through constructed chemical images and light, the other through chemical destruction and light.
Mokrynski’s journey with this work began from a bundle of found negatives in a Russian flea market, the tale of an uncle in the Russian Space agency at the dawn of human space travel and the ever in depth observations of space.
“Almost every recent advance in astronomical imaging has resulted in something unexpected, and an expanded knowledge. (l, b)≃(209°, -57°) Galactic Coordinates, is the visualization of a possible world, in a possible galaxy, from a possible lost archive” William Mokrysnki
Jolin’s pictures begin with a moment of stillness, the print and then its rapid deterioration as it is exposed to the stuff of destruction.
“Her current work examines the relationship between the balance and resistance between the surface of her images, their individual referents and the detritus of her experiments and processes” Katie Jolin
The Gallery is open 10-5 Wednesday to Thursday and during the restaurants opening hours. Book a table and enjoy the show privately.
Mokrynski is a member of North London Darkroom, 24hr darkroom facilities

Crabtree & Dent, EDGELAND // THAMESMEAD
29th October - 4th November 15
Based on the concept of ‘edgelands’ this exhibition draws together a selection of works from Crabtree & Dent’s ongoing series Concrete Farm, inspired by their interest in ‘exposing beauty in overlooked things, forms and architecture.’
Self-taught photographers Crabtree & Dent consider how social distance surfaces in architecture & explore the creative potential of overlooked spaces and beauty in the deserted or disregarded. Showing physical spaces, the neglected peripheries of the city and where it appears individuals are isolated from mainstream culture...lost in a sea of derelict concrete.
The Gallery is open 10-5 Wednesday to Thursday and during the restaurants opening hours. Book a table and enjoy the show privately.

Mick Williamson, Photo-Diaries
22nd - 28th October 15
“Photographers often pride themselves on their ability to capture the decisive moment. The work of Mick Williamson however purposefully shuns the key moment, preferring instead to focus on what might be construed as the missed opportunity. The impression left on the observer is in fact one of continuity and duration. There is no moment, only before and after the event. In other words the photographer is directed to capturing the entirety of the event. The image is then seen to be standing in for a continuous sequence and may be likened to the medium of film.” Addie Vassie
“Another gem coming out of the Cass this season. Mick's work is pure poetry, an ongoing, subtle, boundless photographic odyssey across time. He takes his photographs, countless quiet moments, like breaths or whispers.”
Ania Dabrowska
Mick has been a freelance photographer since graduating from Medway college of Art in 1970. He is now the course leader of Photography at the CASS art School in Aldgate. This collection of thirty of Micks prints are printed on the last of the Ilford Matt Silver gelatine paper.

Ed Thompson, Red Forest & The Village
15th - 21st October 2015
Part of Ed Thompson’s on going research and work with the rarest of films, Kodak Aerochrome colour Infrared, ‘The Red Forest’ is part of the ‘Unseen’ and depicts images of the Chernobyl site and the ghostly village of Pluckley in Kent. The films unique qualities are to see and capture beyond the visible spectrum, making Ed’s images compelling, haunting and truly outstanding to look at.
“In The Red Forest (2012); Thompson assesses the condition of the most radioactive forest in the world. Colour infrared film originally had many varied applications, one of which was its use in the documentation and study of forests. Like other parts of The Unseen Thompson has tried to push the limits of the films intended purpose. The film also appears to have been effected by the radiation; tiny black specks cover the film emulsion. This only occurred when the film was used in Chernobyl and does not seem to have happened when the film was used in other parts of the world.”
Ed Thompson has been a freelance photojournalist for the past twelve years; his work is widely published in Guardian, Independent, National Geographic and more.
The Gallery is open 10-5 Wednesday to Thursday and during the restaurants opening hours. Book a table and enjoy the show privately.

Don McCullin, East London…
2nd - 7th October 2015
Don McCullin is best known for his harrowing pictures capturing conflict, war and famine, the darker sides of humanity… This collection of his prints shows in detail what life was like just a few decades ago, during the Thatcher years..
“You cannot walk down Whitechapel without seeing suffering, drama and misery… There are wars that cities have which i call social wars, and i put just as much energy into showing the misery of what i call social wars.”
These original eleven prints are kindly on loan from the CASS East End Archive as part of the Photomonth festival of Photography in East London.
If you would like to see our exhibitions outside of gallery hours don’t hesitate to eat at the restaurant White Rabbit and have your own private viewing.

Fixing the Shadow
Friday 25th October - 2nd November 2015
RoughPrint Gallery is proud to announce the opening of a show by Fiona Yaron-Field, Spencer Rowell and David George, founding members of the Photo Collective Uncertain States. The work is a step from there usual practise and in to Salt Print. one of the first forms of photographic print making dated in 1839.
“The notions of Self, Other and Place are intrinsically related to each other and, it may be argued, to an evolving sense of who we are.”
“This series of images by Fiona Yaron Field, David George and Spencer Rowell is an attempt to bring together these three positions, that of an internal worlds located, within sight of one another. In a place, a dark room, these three photographers engage in an experiential and phenomenological experience, bringing together through the practice of making together, an inter-subjective experience that offers a sense of connection. This is not a nostalgic attempt to re-connect to a past ideal but a desire to keep in sight the basic materials that sustain us.”

The Barber Shops and Salons of Dalston
Local Photographer Ivan Sutherland explores the fascinating world of the places we all go to, to cut our hair.
“Dalston’s diverse cultures are extremely well reflected in its barber shops and hair salons. Although Hackney is a harmonious environment, the individual ethnic groups within it show their independence through patronage of their own barber shops and hair salons.Many people though may be quite unaware of aspects of life of other communities.”
The show opens on the 14th September until 24th September.
with a series of digital c-type prints from the series
