Paul Hill is leader of the popular MA Photography course at De Montfort University, Leicester. He was made a Fellow of the RPS in 1990 and awarded an MBE four years later for services to photography. For 20 years he was director of The Photographers’Place. As well as talking about his earlier work, he will show new images made following the death of his wife in 2006. It is photography that deals with the personal issues of the photographer – self-indulgent, or just therapy? There will be a question and answer session widening the discussion to embrace the photographs of Annie Leibovitz,, Andrea Serrano and Richard Avedon who have approached the same subject albeit in a very different way from Paul.
