Lot Essay



Daniel Meadows is a photographer, documentarian and digital storyteller. He has spent a lifetime recording British society, challenging the status quo by working in a collaborative way to capture extraordinary aspects of ordinary life through pictures, audio recordings and short movies. He is best known for his 1973-74 journey around England in the 'Free Photographic Omnibus', when he travelled 10,000 miles in a converted double-decker and made 958 portraits in "free studio" sessions on the streets of 22 different British towns and cities. This is a project he revisited in the 1990's photographing again some of the subjects of those portraits for his widely published series, National Portraits: Now & Then

Three Boys and a Pigeon shows John Payne, aged 12, with friends and his pigeon Chequer photographed from the Free Photographic Omnibus in Portsmouth, on Friday, 26 April 1974.
