Part 2 of 3
Steve Benbow trained in photography under David Hurn on the original Newport Documentary Photography course in the mid-1970s, after which he was a founding member of the Ffotogallery in Cardiff, a founder of the respected London-based ‘Network’ Agency of photojournalists; and an international professional photojournalist for over twenty years working with photo agencies in London, Paris and New York.
Along with his wife Kate, a photo editor at The Times and US News and World Report, he returned to Wales and started the Photolibrary Wales for Wales-specific stock stills images; and then Video Wales for video production. Steve is now retired from photography but was one of the top names on Ffoton’s hit list of photographers to interview when planning for our website and podcast in mid-2014. Mission accomplished.
This is the first of three parts, and explores Steve’s entry into photography, his time on the Newport Documentary Photography course, and the formation of the Ffotogallery in Cardiff.
