John Davies

John Davies (*1949) studied photography at Trent Polytechnic in Nottingham. He is a landscape photographer, but his work clearly goes beyond this category. In "The British Landscape" Davies shows how the design of public space reflects different social, political, economic and aesthetic interests, how we shape the urban landscape and how it affects us as its users.

The collection includes nine of his iconographic works, some as vintage prints.
