Amateur Photographers
John M Whitehead
by Hon FRPS

The photograph by John M Whitehead appeared in Photographs of the Year from 1900 to 1920. He photographed romantic images, often of Scottish scenes. [Kirk V Toft]
He was one of three judges for the EPS International Exhibition held in February 1928, and featured in one of the poems to be found in EPS literature: Reflections on Mr Murch's Recent Lecture.
The poem is written to the tune of bagpipe music. The last verse reads:
If you can do just half the things I’ve mentioned,
Or even one or two supremely well,
You’ll be a downright regular Royal Fellow -
A Whitehead-Mortimer-Murch-McKissock-Dell.

Edward Steichen (1879–1973): “Moonrise – Mamaroneck, New York” (1904); New York, Museum of Modern Art (MoMA); platinum, cyanotype, and ferroprussiate print, 15¼ × 19". Gift of the photographer.








Edward Steichen (1879– 1973): “The Pond – Moonlight” (1904); New York, The Metropolitan Museum of Art; multiple gum bichromate over platinum, 15¼ × 19".
This print was auctioned in New York in February 2006 and sold for the highest price to date for an art photograph.


Edward Steichen 一张底片共冲洗了三张Moonrise,但是他的人物肖像照片才是最传神的。大家可以看看由MOMA1978年出版的摄影集。他的 gum platinum print 并没有达到最高的冲洗技巧,
EPS的一位摄影大师的作品在当时是很多人敬佩的。
