On Instagram of David Hurnpublished by Reel Art Pressis a collection of digital missives from Hurn, spanning his memorable 60-year career.
Magnum’s David Hurn (born 1934) is one of Britain’s most influential documentary photographers, known for his work on ordinary people in their everyday lives. In 2016, Hurn started an Instagram account to share photography information: technical tips, book recommendations, exhibitions, and work he found interesting. His engagement with the app became gradually intimate, as evidenced by his reflections on photographs from his 60-year career and on his own mortality. On his feed, users can find photographs of the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, the filming of The Beatles’ A Hard Day’s Night in 1964, trips to Arizona in the 1970s and 90s as well as Halloween celebrations in her local Welsh village during the pandemic. .
This collection brings together these individual messages from the past seven years, highlighting Hurn’s generosity as a teacher and his willingness to authentically share his photography class.
