Exhibition by Franco Scibetta

There is an exhibition of the work of Franco Scibetta - 50 photos taken over the last 30 years - many are infra red images of Scotland and iconic buildings. It can be viewed at The Gallery, Slaters Craft Villiage, Stone Rd, Baldwin’s Gate from Tuesday to Sunday for the next few months. See http://www.franco-scibetta.co.uk/index.php

Snapshot of 60s and 70s

PICTURES taken by the late celebrity photographer Lord Lichfield are to go on display at his former ancestral home in Staffordshire.

Eight of the images have never been exhibited before and chronicle the high life of the sixties and seventies. They have now been loaned to the Shugborough estate, near Stafford, by the Lichfield archive and will be on show at the mansion house.
Called ‘fame, fashion and fast cars’, the collection features pictures of Roger Moore, Dustin Hoffman, Mick and Bianca Jagger and Stirling Moss.
Sixties model Jill Kennington, who is also in the photographs, will open the exhibition at a private launch party. The public will then be able to view the images up until October 29th.
The exhibition also features artefacts belonging to Lord Lichfield, including cameras, contact sheets, clothing from the era and a bronze cast of his hands holding a camera.
