Curators: Mark Durden, Ken Grant

Keith Medley was a press and commercial photographer working on Merseyside from for most of his career. Mark Durden and Ken Grant have selected and printed a series of portraits from Medley’s archive of around 30,000 images, held within Liverpool John Moores University. The passport and studio portraits selected were made between 1964 and 1968, a poignant time in the region's history. By exposing half of the glass plate at a time, Medley would often get two portraits from each negative. By printing these glass plates full frame, Durden and Grant allow us to see how sitters perform their poses to camera.
