GRAHAM DIPROSE

Graham Diprose is Lead Tutor in Photography in the School of Graphic Design, at the London College of Communication, the largest college in the University of the Arts, London. Having spent many years as an advertising photographer, he now works with undergraduate and postgraduate students developing skills in all areas of applied and experimental digital and craft photography. He worked with two colleagues and the Museum of London, to remake a ten mile panorama of both banks of the River Thames from London Bridge to Greenwich that mirrored an original commissioned by the Port of London Authority in 1937. It was exhibited in City Hall in the centre of London in 2004 and more recently at the River & Rowing Museum in autumn 2005. A 180 page book of the project, ‘London`s Riverscape - Lost and Found’ with a forward by Ken Livingstone. Mayor of London, has sold its entire print run of 5000 copies.
