Default A conversation with Colin Ford CBE

Not sure this has been mentioned anywhere here but the RPS have done a few interesting videos recently. This one features Colin Ford, the curator and author of books on Julia Margaret Cameron and British photography history in general.
If you don't know Mr Ford the host does provide an introduction then, unfortunately, there are a few minutes of technical difficulties so if you want the main presentation fast foward to 9 minutes!
Hope you find it interesting.

Colin Ford was one of the last Producer-Manager's of The Kidderminster Playhouse, the local theatre here. It was closed and demolished to build a ring road.

In his time there, 1958-60, he would have come into fairly regular contact with Lisel Haas a leading photographer based in Birmingham, she worked with all the theatres, her works is in the Birmingham Library Archives. Lisel Haas had a studio in Germany before the war which she abaondoned after Kristallnacht 9-10th Novemberand fled to England with her father.

She opened a studio after WWII and closed it in 1962 moved from Moseley, Birmingham.

She worked with many leading actors including Albert Finney, Ian, Richardson, Paul Derek Jacobi, PAul Scofield, etc. Some of her work is in the V & A.
