Dench does Dallas
50 decisive moments
Olympus commissioned Peter Dench to photograph the American city of Dallas using the OM-D E-M5 Mark II. Dench normally uses a full-frame DSLR so using a different camera in a new setting was a potential challenge for him. “The lightweight camera and accessories saved me energy in sweltering conditions and its performance gave me the confidence to discard the flash in many low-light situations,” comments Dench. “I was really excited to point the camera at people, and it was great to
see that people wanted the camera pointed at them. “It mademe a better photographer. I was inspired to explore more intensely; I paid greater attention to the movement of light and tightened upmy compositions.” This exhibition opens on 29 October at the Bermondsey Project Space and runs until 7 November. Entry is free and it’s open 11am to 6pm Monday to Friday and 11am to 4pmon Saturday.
On show until 29 October at the Fine Art Society in London’s New Bond Street are 50 masterpieces by the legendary photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson.
