Frontline Club: In the picture

Frontline in London is a media club located near Paddington Station that organises evening screenings and discussions on diverse international issues. Every month, the Frontline Club has a 'In the Picture' talk where a photographer will comment on his or her work to club members, as well as non-members (who have to pay a fee to enter).

Starting next week, the British Journal of Photography will start streaming live these photography events. The first one, on Friday 17 October will see Irme Schaber talk about the life and work of Gerda Taro.

Schaber is a writer and lecturer on the history of exile photography, photojournalism and print-media. She is also Taro’s biographer and curator of the current exhibition at the Barbican. Next week, she will present and talk about a wide selection of Taro’s work.

Taro worked alongside Robert Capa, who was her photographic as well as romantic partner and the two collaborated closely. Her photographs were widely reproduced in the French press and incorporated the dynamic camera angles of New Vision photography as well as a physical and emotional closeness to her subject. While covering the crucial battle of Brunete in July 1937, Taro was struck by a tank and killed.

On 17 October at 7.30pm (London time), readers of 1854 will be able to watch a live stream of the talk. We will also host the video of the talk after the event is over. This partnership between Frontline Club and the British Journal of Photography will continue with all 'In the Picture' events.
