Blether with David Williams

A new series of live blethers about photography with invited photographers linked to Portobello Photography School.
It's an honour to start this series with  David Williams who will be presenting his Promenader project as a large scale projection later that week as part of Art Walk Porty.

David Williams was born in Edinburgh in 1952. He studied English and Sociology before becoming a professional musician and songwriter. He took up photography in 1980 and his work has been widely exhibited and published internationally. Williams is the recipient of a range of major awards and prizes including the BBC Television 150 Years of Photography Award. In 2018 he was nominated for the Kyoto Prize in Arts and Philosophy - the Japanese equivalent of the Nobel Prize.
Williams became Head of Photography at Edinburgh College of Art in 1990 and was appointed Reader in 2003. He retired from ECA in 2017.
His practice is wide-ranging, but in recent years has been increasingly informed by the notion of non-duality. This is particularly evident in a range of projects undertaken in Japan.
