Welcome to the second Eye International Photography Festival! Again, we hope to deliver a stimulating weekend with leading UK and international photographers gathering in Aberystwyth for a programme of talks, discussions, interviews, portfolio reviews, films, videos and exhibitions. Our guest artists are truly inspirational.

He is joined by landscape photographer Charlie Waite, Royal photographer for the Sun Arthur Edwards MBE, award winning Justin Mazon (USA), Angele Etoundi Essamba (Cameroon/France), award winning Timothy Allen, Sophie Batterbury (picture editor of The Independent), Eamonn McCabe (former Picture Editor for The Guardian), Colin Jacobson (photojournalism lecturer), documentary photographers Kajal Nisha Patel and World Press Award winner Laura Pannack, whilst the event will be opened by Magnum member and one of the UK’s leading reportage photographers, David Hurn. In addition to the guest lectures, there are also a number of prestigious photography exhibitions on display during the festival including Olivia Arthur’s Jeddah Diary exhibition, in association with Magnum. A special tribute to Ron Davies OBE will see a selection of his work on display – the photography world lost a great friend when Ron passed away in 2013 and we are pleased and grateful to Ron’s family for allowing us to show some of his work. Also within the Arts Centre ‘the Box’, a mini viewing room, will be showing a special linked programme of work over the weekend of the festival in conjunction with the original trustees of Third Floor Gallery: Joni Karanka, Maciej Dakowicz and Bartosz Nowicki, plus some of David Hurn’s work currently held in Aberystwyth University’s School of Art collection will be available to view.

And don’t miss an opportunity to go and see the work of finalists in our new Photography Competition for schools and young people, A Fresh Eye, run in conjunction with Oxfam Cymru. A warm welcome to everyone, and I hope you have a wonderful weekend and make the most of your time at the festival.

Guest Artists Timothy Allen Timothy Allen was born in Tonbridge in the South East of England in 1971. At 22, after graduating from Leeds University with a BSc in Zoology he left the UK and spent 3 years traveling around Indonesia which was the catalyst that sparked his passion for photography. Timothy joined an aid convoy to Bosnia in order to shoot his first year reportage project. Six months later he left college, moved to London and began working for the Sunday Telegraph, later inspiring commissions from all the British broadsheet publications and finally, a 6 year position at The Independent working predominantly on features and portraits. Timothy joined Axiom Photographic Agency in 2002 leading him to cover a dynamic and broad spectrum of global stories with subjects ranging from the civil war in the remote Spice Islands of far eastern Indonesia, to the intriguing subculture of The World Taxidermy Championships in Springfield, Illinois. Beginning in 2009 the BBC commissioned Timothy to work on the landmark series Human Planet. For two years he was in charge of the production’s photography and his stills were destined for use in the programme’s worldwide publicity, a best-selling book and a touring photographic exhibition. In recent years the focus of his work has continued to move in the direction of DSLR cinematography and multimedia production which has taken him to every corner of the globe, from 19 000 ft up in the Himalayas to 40 metres beneath the South China Sea as well as projects within communities in the Arctic, tropical rain forests and remote desert locations. Timothy is a regular commentator on TV and radio in the field of media and travel/exploration and he is an experienced public speaker having undertaken inspirational lecture tours for the likes of the Royal Geographical Society as well as giving keynote presentations at conferences and corporate events around the world. Commendations include: 6 Picture Editors Guild Awards, 2 British Press Awards, a Press Photographer’s Year Award and 11 Travel Photographer of the Year commendations including the current title (2013). ‘Human Planet’ has received a host of awards including 8 BAFTA nominations, an Emmy and the ITB Cultural Book Prize. 'Around the World in 20 Years'. At the Festival Timothy Allen will take you on a journey through some of the lesser known spots on our planet visiting people living unusual and unique lives. Spanning all the inhabited continents and 20 years of travel this will also be the story of photography's digital revolution and how it has completely redefined the way he works and makes a living.
Ian Berry Ian Berry made his reputation as a photojournalist reporting from South Africa, where he worked for the Daily Mail and later Drum magazine. He was the only photographer to document the massacre at Sharpeville. While based in Paris he was invited to join Magnum by Henri CartierBresson. He moved to London to become the first contract photographer for the Observer Magazine. He has covered conflict in Israel, Ireland, Vietnam, Czechoslovakia and Congo, famine in Ethiopia and apartheid in South Africa. He has also reported on the political and social transformations in China and the former USSR. Awards include Nikon Photographer of the Year (twice), Picture of the Year award from the National Press Photographers of America, and British Press Magazine Photographer of the Year (twice). Arts Council Award, Art Directors’ Club of New York Award. His books include The English, two books on South Africa, Sold into Slavery and Sea. Exhibitions in London, Paris, Hamburg, Brussels, Bradford, Perpignan, Aix en Provence and Lowry Gallery. Very often a single image taken can evolve into long - term projects. At the festival Ian will explore some of these picture stories and how an agency such as Magnum can help in providing support to an individual. He will look at the pros and cons of going it alone or having an agent.
Arthur Edwards MBE Arthur has been the Royal Photographer for the Sun newspaper since 1977. He has photographed 7 royal weddings, 4 funerals and 6 royal births. For more than thirty years this Fleet Street legend has documented and defined the changes in our monarchy. He has captured some of the most memorable moments of the House of Windsor from Diana to the marriage of William and Kate. He has made more than 200 trips following the Royals, becoming friends and on first name terms with most. He has shaken hands with Nelson Mandela and met the Pope. He has stepped in both the Oval Office and the Kremlin. From the East End of London he worked for The Sun as a freelance covering cricket, football and general news but in 1977 editor Larry Lamb asked him to become the newspapers' Royal Photographer. His first thought was ‘what a rotten job‘. He won an MBE in 2003 for his services to the newspaper industry as a photographer. Arthur will talk about his life covering the Royal Family and the stories behind the pictures of The Queen, Diana, Camilla, and the rest of the most important family in Great Britain throughout a career spanning more than 30 years for The Sun newspaper, travelling the world and capturing history.

Angèle Etoundi Essamba ‘Photography is for me a need to express and to communicate. As long as the need will exist, I will create.' Angèle was born in Douala and grew up in Yaoundé in Cameroon, but as a young girl went to Paris where she received her education. Later she moved to the Netherlands where she trained at the Netherlands Professional School of Photography ( Nederlandse Fotovakshool). Angèle has gained international recognition with exhibitions all over the world (Africa, Europe, Asia, South America and United States). In her work she has broken away from the stereotypical representations of an Africa torn by famines and wars, instead celebrating the cultural richness and diversity of the continent. She is focused in the creation of black women portraits that question the concepts of identity and cultural duality, in order to promote mutual respect, understanding and tolerance. At the festival Angèle will talk of her celebration of the black body: Body symbol, Body icon; Passion and Vibration; Raw body, Pure and Mature; Meaning and Greatness; Grace and Pride; Stylized, Magnified; Elegance, Sensuality; Magic body Accomplished and Fullfilled; Bearer, Protector, Transmitter, Guardian; Figured, Transfigured, Invented, Reinvented; Wounded, Disfigured, Mutilated, Devastated; Finally ….Liberated
David Hurn Born in the UK but of Welsh descent, David Hurn is a self-taught photographer who began his career in 1955 as an assistant at the Reflex Agency. While a freelance photographer, he gained his reputation with his reportage of the 1956 Hungarian revolution and was invited to become a full member of Magnum Photos in 1967. In 1973 he set up the famous School of Documentary Photography in Newport, Wales, and has been in demand throughout the world to teach workshops. He has written: "Life as it unfolds in front of the camera is full of such complexity, wonder and surprise that I find it unnecessary to create new realities. There is more pleasure, for me, in things as they are." He suggests that two of his major influences for attempting to be a better photographer are good shoes and looking at other peoples pictures. At the Festival he will chat about both. David Hurn has a longstanding international reputation as one of Britain's leading reportage photographers. He continues to live and work in Wales. In his talk David Hurn will be taking an indulgent meander on sixty years being a photographer, reminiscing on influences, hates, loves, friends and surprises - above all how one can stay eating.
Justin Maxon Justin Maxon (1983) was born in a small town in the woods of northern California. While attending journalism school at San Francisco State, he began exploring projects that held greater social implications. His desire now is to reveal different variables of truth in humanity’s conflicted existence. Justin has received numerous awards for his photography, from competitions like World Press Photo, UNICEF Images of the Year, and POYi. He won the Deeper Perspective Photographer of the Year at the 2008 Lucie Awards; the same year he was named one of PDN’s 30 Photographers to Watch. He was selected to participate in World Press Photo’s 2010 Joop Swart Masterclass. In addition, he has received grants from the Magnum Foundation Emergency Fund, FotoVisura, the Alexia Foundation for World Peace, and the Aaron Siskind Foundation. He has worked on feature stories for publications such as TIME, Rolling Stone, Newsweek, Mother Jones Magazine, Bloomberg Business Week, Fader Magazine, The New York Times, and NPR. He has lectured and been invited to give workshops throughout the world including the New York Photo Festival, the opening of the 2009 World Press Awards and recently spent 2 weeks lecturing and giving workshops in South Africa sponsored by the US State Department. Exhibitions of his work have been shown in Venzuela, London, Bermuda, San Francisco, New York, Chicago, Singapore, Bangladesh, Poland, Slovenia, Cambodia, and Istanbul. Justin Maxon has spent the past six-years documenting the lives of people in Chester, PA. This small American town (pop 37,000) is a microcosm of the wounds of racism that stain the US today. The compounded social, political and economic landscape present has created a complex patchwork environment of equal parts trauma and courage. His work has evolved over the years in response to his changing perception of the space; taking on a multitude of journalistic, artistic and social forms. His creative process includes layering images through multiple exposures, collage and traditional print making, along with utilizing public sculptural instillation made from found objects from Chester. Each project builds a greater vocabulary to more completely speak to the complex narrative that exists. At the festival Maxon will discuss the evolution of his process over the course of his time in Chester, along with sharing personal history that has forged his commitment to working towards deconstructing the forces of structural oppression that exist in the United States of America. We are very grateful to Nicholas Bowman (BscEcon International Politics and History, Aberystwyth University 1983) for his support which has enabled Justin to attend the festival.
Laura Pannack Laura Pannack is a London based Photographer. She was educated at the University of Brighton, Central Saint Martin’s College of Art and LCC. Her work has been extensively exhibited and published both in the UK and internationally, including at The National Portrait Gallery, The Houses of Parliament, Somerset House, and the Royal Festival Hall in London. In 2010 Laura received first prize in the Portrait Singles category of the World Press Photo awards. She has also won and been shortlisted for several other awards including The Sony World Photography Awards, The Magenta Foundation and Lucies IPA. She was recently awarded the Vic Odden by The Royal Photographic Society award for a notable achievement in the art of photography by a British photographer aged 35 or under. Her art focuses on social documentary and portraiture, and seeks to explore the complex relationship between subject and photographer. Laura is driven by research led self-initiated projects. In her own words, she does all she can “to understand the lives of those captured, and to present them creatively”. She is a firm believer that “time, trust and understanding is the key to portraying subjects truthfully”, and as such, many of her projects develop over several years. Her particular approach allows a genuine connection to exist between sitter and photographer, which in turn elucidates the intimacy of these very human exchanges. Her images aim to suggest the shared ideas and experiences that are entwined in each frame that she shoots. Laura largely shoots with a film camera on her personal projects, allowing her process to be organic rather than being predefined by fixed ideas, thus removing additional pressure on the sitter. ‘Laura’s remarkable ability to build trust and respect with her subjects allows her to express a gritty vulnerability that is as sincere as it is elusive to capture.’ Terry O’Neill - Photographer At the Festival, Laura will give a short introduction to her work and then focus on how we form connections with and without a camera. How does photography allow and prevent us from engaging with others and how she forms relationships with those she photographs. She will be exploring if image making is about observing or participating.

Olivia Arthur: Jeddah Diaries In association with Magnum Olivia Arthur began working as a photographer in 2003 after moving to Delhi; in 2006 she took a one-year residency with Fabrica in Italy, during which she began working on a series about women and the East-West cultural divide. This work has taken her to the border between Europe and Asia, Iran and Saudi Arabia. In 2009, the British Council invited her to teach a two-week photography workshop to a group of women in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia; after which she returned to London with rolls of undeveloped film and the start of her photo story. 'Jeddah Diary' is an intimate, fragmentary portrait of the women Arthur came to know and spend time with in Saudi Arabia; 'a story that is as much about the lens of photography as it is an intimate, if slightly disorienting, view into the complex visual layers of Saudi women’s everyday existence.' Steering clear of Western cliché about Saudi women Olivia allows us glimpses into a world that is ordinarily tightly sealed from all outsiders. “(my) projects about women are about women and how they deal with their situations. It's about them, not the men around them. It’s not: "Women are treated as second-class citizens", it's a much more feminine thing than that – about women in their lives, making what they can out of a situation, good or bad.” London-born Olivia Arthur studied mathematics at Oxford University and photojournalism at the London College of Printing; she has recently been invited to join Magnum.
A Tribute to Ron Davies OBE, FDPS, ARPS, Hon Fellow SDUC Ron was born in Aberaeron on the 17th December 1921. His love for photography started whilst working for a local chemist as an errand boy, aged ten. Mr Thomas taught him to develop and print and gave him his first Box Brownie. His photographic career started whilst serving in the RAF in WW2 when he was seconded to a photographic unit in India and the Far East. After demob he came home to Aberaeron and was just starting his photographic business when, in 1950, he was paralysed in a motor cycle accident. During his two and a half years in hospital he took up the cudgels again and became the hospital medical photographer. On his return he restarted the business working the rest of his life from a wheelchair. Initially working as a social photographer he graduated into press work for the local papers, the Western Mail, the BBC and Fleet Street then additionally as a cine cameraman for ITV in Wales. He took a keen interest in photographic education and taught at various art schools as well as at Aberystwyth Arts Centre. He was the driving force behind the the first mobile darkroom for disabled people, famously saying "Ability isn't the problem. Mobility is". The National Eisteddfod of Wales honoured him in 1986 with green robed Order of Ovates in the Gorsedd of Bards and further honoured him in 2002 with the white robed Order of Druids. There was another accolade in 2003 when he was honoured with an OBE for services to photography. Aberystwyth Arts Centre lost a great friend when Ron passed away at the end of October last year and we are pleased and grateful to Ron's family for allowing us to show some of his work.

Working Project The Black and White dress: Photos by Keith Morris 2013-14 Taking away their individuality by using the same pattern for dress and background at first glance the images may seem the same. It is not until closer inspection that we not only see the different personalities of the models, but reinforcing the fact that regardless of colour, culture, light hair or dark the women could be from anywhere in the world. They/we ARE all the same. Keith is using the Eye Festival to conclude his project and invites any festival visitor to don the black and white dress and become a part of this body of work. keith@artx.co.uk / www.artswebwales.com

Education project ‘A Fresh Eye’ - Photography Competition for Schools and Young People Young people across Wales had the opportunity to take part in ‘A Fresh Eye’, a national photography competition, as part of The Eye International Photography Festival at Aberystwyth Arts Centre. Festival organisers teamed up with Oxfam Cymru to offer a unique opportunity for students to develop their skills and understanding of documentary photography and international issues, by working to two of Oxfam’s themes: For under 11s and 12 – 15 year olds: ‘Water through a different lens.’ For 16 - 21 year olds: ‘Lift: An uplifting look at tackling poverty.’ Resources and background information for both topics were provided, to enable the participants to fully understand the programmes of work the themes related to, and gain an understanding of how photographers have to work to a brief. All shortlisted entries can be seen in the Arts Centre Café Gallery during the Festival and from 18th June – 19th July. The winners will be announced at the Festival on Saturday. Prizes include complimentary tickets to the festival, cameras, books from festival speakers, workshops for the winners’ schools and an individual tutorial from The Independent’s Head of Pictures, Sophie Batterbury.
