SUMMARY:Permanent Exhibition: Julia Margaret Cameron
DESCRIPTION:Julia Margaret Cameron (1815 – 1879) was one of the most important early photographers and is now recognised the world over as a pioneer of photography as art. \nA woman ahead of her time\, she was ambitious and freethinking when most Victorian women were passive and demure. She took on the challenges of handling large cameras and dangerous chemicals at a time when photography was known as ‘The Black Art’. \nIgnoring conventions\, she experimented with composition and focus. Today she is credited with creating the first photographic close-up portraits and influencing the subsequent Pictorialism movement with her use of diffused focus. \nHer portraits of ‘famous men and fair women’\, reflect her time within the Freshwater Circle\, the birth of celebrity and her ambitions to be recognised as significant artist of her time. \nThe majority of her photographic work was created here at Dimbola. Her work is found in major archives the world over including our own growing Permanent Collection.

SUMMARY:Mini Iconic Bowie – Terry O’Neill
DESCRIPTION:Dimbola Museum & Galleries are honoured that Iconic Images have kindly agreed to loan us photographs of David Bowie taken by the late Terry O’Neil left over from our Iconic Bowie exhibition is 2019. \nOver a 20-year period\, O’Neill captured Bowie’s shapeshifting artistry better than just about anybody else. \nO’Neill’s photographs have left such a lasting impression because he was able to demystify some of the 20th century’s biggest icons. \nBy the time O’Neill started shooting Bowie during his Ziggy Stardust tour in 1973\, he was much a respected name in photography. \nCurrently exclusive to Dimbola in the UK\, the limited editions images are available to purchase. For more information please email admin@dimbola.co.uk

SUMMARY:CJ Nox: The Beauty Of...
DESCRIPTION:We are thrilled to currently have a display of beautiful prints by CJ Nox Photography in our shop. All for sale\, starting from £55. Come and take a look! \n\n“CJ Nox is a visual storyteller rooted in the natural rhythms and quiet beauty of the Isle of Wight. A lifelong creative with a background rich in varied experiences\, CJ returned to the Island in search of a slower\, more intentional way of seeing—and of living. Accompanied by his loyal dog Beans\, he roams coastlines\, forests\, historic towns\, and windswept cliffs\, capturing fleeting moments that many pass by unnoticed.\n\n\nHis exhibition\, The Beauty Of…\, reflects his core philosophy: that beauty is not a fixed destination\, but something shifting\, personal\, and ever-present in our daily surroundings. Whether through the geometry of local architecture\, the softness of evening light across the Solent\, or the wild stillness of a forgotten woodland path\, CJ’s work invites us to pause\, reframe\, and look again.\n\n\nAs a photographer and video creator\, CJ blends artistic observation with a deep sense of place. His vlogs explore not just locations\, but the stories\, atmospheres\, and emotions behind each frame. He encourages viewers and visitors alike to rediscover the extraordinary in the seemingly ordinary—and to embrace the power of quiet moments.\n\n\nThrough both lens and life\, CJ Nox offers a gentle reminder: the world is always waiting to be seen anew.”\n\n\ncjnoxphotography.com

SUMMARY:David Tunnicliffe:The Road to Palmyra & Travels with a Tangerine
DESCRIPTION:We are proud to present two stunning exhibitions by David Tunnicliffe\, showcasing black and white photographs taken during his travels in the Middle East. In a career spanning over forty years\, David’s work as a diplomat and an academic took him to the far corners of the earth\, giving him access to unique photographic opportunities denied to many. \nThe Road to Palmyra\nDavid’s striking images of Palmyra were taken during a visit to Syria in 1993\, making them a crucial document in preserving the history of one of the “seven wonders of the Middle East”\, and showcasing the magnificence and beauty of this grand city in the desert. In the 1st century BCE\, the oasis city of Palmyra\, in the centre of modern Syria\, was on the main trade route between the Levant and Mesopotamia. Palmyra was incorporated into the Roman Empire during the reign of Tiberius\, eventually becoming a luxurious stop and trading station on the Silk Road. In the 20th century\, the ruins of ancient Palmyra were carefully preserved and restored\, becoming a favoured destination for modern explorers and seasoned travellers\, away from the beaten track of the tourist trail. Tragically\, in 2015 the city became the target of ISIS\, who decimated the ancient towers\, museums and theatres\, turning them to rubble\, and killing the proud custodians of the city\, increasing the importance of David’s images as a lasting reminder of what has been lost. \nTravels With A Tangerine\nTaking his inspiration from Ibn Battuta\, a 14th century traveller\, David began his worldwide travels in India in 1967\, taking his camera to Africa\, Asia\, Europe and the Americas\, capturing his own photographic record of the places he visited and the people he met. Ibn Battuta was a Magrebhi scholar\, who began a 30 year spiritual journey in 1325\, covering over 75\,000 miles\, and recording his experiences in a travel memoir known as the Rihla.Ibn Battuta’s Rihla remains a leading source of contemporary knowledge about the areas he visited\, and today his memory is still honoured in the name of  modern-day Tangier’s international airport. This beautiful and powerful exhibition represents a mere fraction of the tens\, if not hundreds\, of thousands of images taken by David during his own Rihla\, with the title of the exhibition playfully referring to Ibn Battuta’s Moroccan origins. \nAbout the photographer\nIn a career spanning more than 30 years his photographic archive holds a vast collection of images from almost every corner of the world. His experience in the diplomatic\, commercial and academic worlds have given him unique access to photographic opportunities denied to many. He has taught photography in Ethiopia\, Australia\, Saudi Arabia\, Somalia\, Egypt and in the UK and has a wealth of experience working with museums and international universities on everything from Third Century BC artifacts in Egypt and Neolithic Man in Somalia to reclaiming photographic prints from WWII in Australia.\n \ndavidtunnicliffephotography.co.uk
