As part of ‘Then, Now, Next’, Sutton Heritage collaborated with professional photographic artist,
Dave Shrimpton, to capture the stories and likenesses of up to five individuals using a Victorian camera and an historic wet collodion glass plate process. Winners of Sutton’s 2023 Community Awards were invited to sit for the photographer, on location in his mobile studio at Honeywood Museum, and their portraits were captured for the archive in a unique interaction that both reflects upon and creates a tangible link to an existing glass plate collection, by
David Knights-Whittome already extant in the collection.
