Robert Blomfield is a recently discovered master of street photography whose work was mainly shot in the 60s whilst a former medical student and GP. He was taking photographs from an early age inspired by his own father. It is said that as a medical student studying at Edinburgh University he lived in a darkroom with a bed in it such was his love of photography. That said, he remained largely unknown until a major exhibition at the City Art Centre brought him to the attention of the wider public locally and globally. Like Vivian Maier in New York and Oscar Marzarolli in Glasgow he simply took pictures for the pleasure of it and as a result his images reveal a passion for the area and the subject. He said himself, “I did not need to set the stage, the stage was already set.”

The work is editioned and comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by his son Will. Two sizes are available 18 x 12’ and 45 x 30” (approx)
