The story of Richard Greatrex’s CUBA NOTICED images begins on a train opposite a girl, daydreaming. It was round her neck… a medal? On it Ché, an icon….
Richard - a Cinematographer (Director of Photography) for 30 years, shot many projects including over 40 movies and TV dramas. He was responsible for the cinematography on films such as Knight’s Tale, Mrs Brown and Shakespeare in Love. A four-time BAFTA nominee, he won the coveted award for A Woman in White and was nominated for an Oscar for Shakespeare in Love.
Richard’s Cuba Noticed project forms the main stills photography component of a new group exhibition at Found Gallery in Brecon. Ffoton caught up with him in his home town of Hay-on Wye to find out more about the project. Listen below…
