Pupils Document their Community in Exhibition inspired by German Photographer

A new exhibition of artwork by pupils from Turriff, Peterhead and Mintlaw Academies inspired by the German photographer August Sander has gone on display at Duff House, Banff.

The pupils have been working with local artists Amy Davenport and Fergus Connor to produce the body of work which will be exhibited at the north-east visitor attraction during August and September. Duff House is currently hosting an exhibition of portraits by Sander, regarded as one of the 20th century’s most influential photographers. The pupils researched his works and techniques to document their own communities in a manner similar to that practiced by Sander in his portfolio ‘People of the 20th Century’.
