Inspired by Arbus

Published Monday 11 December 2023 | By Keith Fitzpatrick-Matthews

This exhibition held at North Hertfordshire Museum’s The Arches gallery showcased the talents of the photographers of Hitchin Camera Club. The members were inspired to head out and about to produce portrait photography in the iconic style of master photographer Diane Arbus (1923-1971), one of the great figures of 20th century photography, ahead of an exciting exhibition of her work here.

Hitchin Camera Club was formed in 1972 and currently has 57 members. Meetings are held on Thursday evenings between September and May, at Walsworth Baptist Church.
