Chasing Kersting

This photographic documentary project has grown out of my volunteering at the Courtauld Institute; more specifically my participation in the Courtauld Connects project as a digitisation volunteer at the Conway Library in Somerset House. At it’s heart this project is a simple comparison of then-and-now images, with black & white photographs of buildings and places taken from the late 1930’s through to the 1980’s by the late Anthony Kersting FRPS. I then visit these locations and have attempted to photograph the scene that Kersting took, be it a building or a viewpoint. The background to the project is in the Introduction page below.
