  • Talk: Capturing the Community – Then and Now

    Queen's Hotel, Penzance

    Penlee House's exhibition Harry Penhaul: Life through a Lens took us back to post-war Penwith. How did he choose his subjects? What makes his work so good? And how does this contrast with the work of photojournalists today? Greg Martin, himself a photojournalist, will talk about Penhaul's way of working and how photojournalists go about telling stories today.
