SUMMARY:Editions Ltd: Editions Ltd: A View from the North - Denis Thorpe
DESCRIPTION:A View from the North - Denis Thorpe\n\nPrivate view -Wednesda
 y 5th December\n4.00-7.00pm - until 5th January\n\nDenis Thorpe might be B
 ritain's best-loved newspaper photographer\; a photojournalist with an end
 less supply of energy\, compassion and visual wit\, above all driven by th
 e desire to tell people's stories using the light\, shape and form of what
  was in front of him. He brought a new level of respectfulness\, care and 
 intimacy to newspaper photography\; timeless images that felt effortless w
 ere in fact the product of hard work\, attention to detail and technical m
 astery. 2018 marks 70 years since Denis's first job in newspaper photograp
 hy at the Mansfield Reporter and we are delighted that the exhibition of h
 is work at Editions is part of the celebrations.\n\nEditions will be selli
 ng photographs signed by Denis as well as copies of his book A View from t
 he North.\n\nDenis was born to a Nottinghamshire family working in industr
 y and mining. Long periods of severe illness in his childhood - diphtheria
  when he was around 5 years old\, and TB at the age of 10 - meant he was c
 onfined to an isolation hospital\, then for two years he was sent to an op
 en-air school. These enforced periods away gave him a different perspectiv
 e on life and took him away from heavy industry\, and towards journalism a
 nd ultimately photography.\n"What on earth made me want to record images? 
 At school I enjoyed writing and thought I wanted to be a reporter\, but wh
 at I discovered by sheer accident was that photography could do something 
 magical. I had been fortunate to be taken on by the editor of my local pap
 er. He asked me to assist the only staff photographer. I became interested
  in pictures and art when I used to go Mansfield Public Library to try and
  find books on photojournalism. There was only Bill Brandt. Then in lookin
 g for books I found the arts section… I found the impressionists. They r
 eally interested me because of their structure - they didn't obey any rule
 s - not straight pictures but things cut off - like photography."
