DAVID HURN IN CONVERSATION WITH EMYR YOUNG.
TINTERN, MONMOUTHSHIRE, DECEMBER 2015
(released on the Ffoton Podcast 1 January 2016)
David Hurn is still working, photographing and publishing at the age of 81 years and is regarded as one of Britain's most important reportage photographers.
A self-taught photographer who began his career in 1955 as an assistant at the Reflex Agency, he gained his reputation with his reportage of the 1956 Hungarian revolution. David became an associate member of Magnum Photo in 1965 and a full member in 1967. Here in Wales, he set up the famous School of Documentary Photography in Newport in 1973 where he remained for 17 years.
We met with David following the publication of a new book 'The 1960s: Photographed by David Hurn' published by Reel Art Press which demonstrates the breadth and strength of iconic images that defined the period. This first part of our in-depth conversation covers David's route into photography, individual style and 'Authorship', being a professional photographer, projects he has covered - including the Aberfan tragedy in the South Wales valleys.
