STEVE BENBOW yn sgwrsio gydag BRIAN CARROLL
Cas-gwent, AWST 2023

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 the website and podcast started in mid-2014 . Mission accomplished.

The audio below is the final segment of three parts, and explores Steve’s return to Wales and forming the Photolibrary Wales - a stills stock agency specialising in providing images of Wales to commercial clients, his views on copyright, forming Video Wales in offering moving images and, finally, retirement from photography.

With a long career in photography education in Wales and having returned after two years as Director of the Institute of Photography at Falmouth University, Paul is a respected authority on the development of photography in Wales. We discuss the history and education of photography in Wales to the present day; Paul's book on the legacy of W. Eugene Smith's work in Wales in the 1950's; and his current research at Museum Wales which includes the work of David Hurn.
