An Indecisive Moment
15 - 29 January
Blenheim Walk
The genre of "documentary photography" is currently in a state of flux and the criteria that once defined it are no longer observed or current. Bresson's Decisive Moment has been reinvented and Martin Parr has recently encouraged photographers working in this field to "get modern". What he meant by this has been widely interpreted.
An Indecisive Moment is a selection of work made by Year Two students on the FD/BA Photography course.
