Afternoon Session: 2.00pm until 4.30pm: ‘Visual Arts in the Stereoscope: An Overview’, a 3-D talk and workshop given by the Brian May Archive of Stereoscopy.

We are privilege to have with us Denis Pellerin a distinguished photo historian, researcher, author, and lecturer.

His talk will introduce stereoscopy and its use in the visual arts, including examining sculpture, painting, architecture, fashion, and design in the stereoscope.

We could not wish for a more knowledgeable and distinguished international expert to introduce us to this fascinating segment of the world of photography.

As if that was not enough, Denis will be accompanied by the other curator and archivist of the Brian May Archive of Stereoscopy, Rebecca Sharpe ARPS, who will bring a handling collection for close examination of stereo viewing and taking equipment, demonstrating different ways of photographing stereoscopic images, and presenting and viewing the results, including digital and analogue.

The meeting will be at the usual RPS Visual Arts Group Rollright venue – Long Compton Village Hall, and is open to everyone. Doors open from 9am for a prompt 10am start, with welcome refreshments from 9.30am.

This meeting is charged at £10.00 and can be paid via the RPS Events Website or cash on the door.

Looking forward to welcoming as many of you as can join us for what promises to be a full and fascinating day.
