Directly influenced by the central theme of the National Portrait Gallery’s exhibition, Francesca Woodman and Julia Margaret Cameron: Portraits to Dream In, this lecture will look at the ways in which photography is used to transport a viewer beyond reality and into a dream space.

About

The lecture will answer some of photography's leading questions: Where can photography take us? What can photography do? And how does photography offer an alternative to every-day life?
