Blitz Photographers: Cecil Beaton, Bill Brandt and George Rodger

Many photographers documented the impact of German air raids on British cities for audiences at home and overseas during the Second World War. This talk examines the Blitz photography of three of Britain’s most prominent photographers, with our current exhibition of London Blitz photographs as a backdrop.

A specialist in the history of war photography, Roberts works with collections of historic war photography around the world. She also works closely with civilian and military photographers covering current conflicts.

This talk is free and open to the public.
