FINDING THE PHOTOGRAPHS: MICHAEL JEANS PHOTO EXHIBITION Fri 15th - Thur 21st March

‘Explaining my photographic practice of these past six decades sounds boastful and indulgent. But it has been and remains fun. The darkroom. The transition from film to digital. The photograph. I love it. There are traditions, and influences and other stuff going on. It feels big and important and at other times insignificant. But it is mine. Look. Read. Enjoy.’

A refreshed and reinvigorated photographic survey of present-day Cambridge (taken between September 2023 – February 2024) from the perspective of photographer Michael Jeans. In association with Cambridge Museum, The Michael Jeans Archive 1964 – 2024 / 60 years.
