MARGARET HOWELL – THE PHOTOGRAPHY EDWIN SMITH

Posted on 2014-09-15

In support of RIBA’s (Royal Institute of British Architects) new exhibition that has opened, Ordinary Beauty: The Photography of Edwin Smith, Margaret Howell has curated an online gallery of her favourite images from the exhibition.

‘You can’t fault Edwin Smith’s eye. There’s not a single photograph in the RIBA’s extensive collection that is not beautifully composed. The way he captures the spirit of place takes me right there. I love that he chose subjects that seem modest, even unpromising, then transformed them with technical assurance and vision. His images of Britain have a truth I recognise and feel at one with.’
– Margaret Howell

Margaret Howell has produced a 2015 calendar in conjunction with the exhibition.

Exhibition runs through to December 6th, 2014
