Great Photographic Journeys Exhibition at Fenton House

John Hannavy is a photographer and photographic historian who has been taking photographs and writing about photography and photographic history for almost forty years.

In 2002 he was awarded a prestigious Winston Churchill Travelling Fellowship to support his research into early travel photography, recreating the 1852 journey to Moscow, St Petersburg and Kiev by the RPS’s first Honorary secretary, Roger Fenton. Given unique permission by the Kremlin authorities to take photographs from Ivan the Great’s Belltower in the Kremlin’s Cathedral Square, one of the highlights of John’s journey was to stand where Fenton had stood with his camera when taking his iconic image of the Domes of the Cathedral of the Assumption.

That picture, and many others – taken in Scotland, France, Italy, Russia, Ukraine, Egypt, China, Hong Kong, Cyprus and India – all appear in John’s Fenton House exhibition Great Photographic Journeys – in the footsteps of pioneer British photographers.
