Join us in welcoming photographer Byrd Williams IV at Photographique Bishop Arts on November 16th from 7:00pm - 9:30pm for a lecture and talk back. He will be sharing his new work from the “Future Dead” archive as well as his large format cameras and insight on how he processes these unique negatives and prints.

A fourth generation photographer, Byrd is best known for his urban work in the U.S. and Europe. He produces extremely detailed photographs, usually as triptychs, using a very large format view camera. Williams has been teaching photography for over 26 years. He is a published writer and international artist whose work has been shown and collected at the Amon Carter Museum, Museum of Fine Arts Houston, and the Stadt Museum of Trier Germany as well as many publication and collections throughout the U.S and Europe.

“I used an enormous 20-inch wooden plate camera for maximum detail and printed everything on gold chloride material for maximum longevity, which will last 800 years as opposed to digital inkjet’s life of 150 years,” Byrd Williams IV

You won’t want to miss this unique opportunity to hear a fourth generation photographer share his personal take on the value of photography and the longevity of the materials at our disposal. This lecture will surely make you look at your own practice differently.

Lecture begins at 7:00
