Brighton photographer to be exhibited in city’s museum

Roger Bamber Photographs: Out Of The Ordinary will open at Brighton Museum and Art Gallery in the spring.

Bamber died of lung cancer in September last year and the major exhibition will celebrate the life and work of the popular photographer who hails from Brighton.

A spokeswoman for the museum said: “Bamber’s distinctive eye created engaging and striking images that capture an ordinary moment in an extraordinary way.”

Bamber had a long career as a press photographer for some of the biggest national papers including The Sun, The Guardian and the Daily Mail.

“Bamber captured a rapidly changing world with insight and humour,” the spokeswoman added.

Bamber lived in Brighton and the city and its people feature in many photographs including the seafront, the Royal Pavilion and the dramatic Victorian sewers.

The exhibition opens on April 1 and will be on display until September 3.
