Welcome to RW Jemmett Photography

William KleinWilliam Klein was an American-born French photographer and filmmaker known for his groundbreaking and unconventional approach to both media. Born in New York City in 1928, Klein's career spanned decades, leaving an indelible mark on the world of photography and film. Klein's early life was marked by a diverse range of experiences. He studied sociology at City College of New York and served in the U.S. Army during World War II. After the war, he moved to Paris, where he immersed himself in the city's vibrant artistic scene. He studied painting under the renowned artist Fernand Léger, laying the foundation for his unique visual perspective.    Klein's photographic style was revolutionary. He embraced a raw, in-your-face approach, often using wide-angle lenses, unconventional framing, and a grainy aesthetic. He challenged traditional photographic conventions, blurring the lines between art and documentary. His iconic photobook "Life is Good & Good for You in New York" (1956) captured the city's energy and grit with an unprecedented intimacy and immediacy. Beyond photography, Klein also made significant contributions to filmmaking. His films, such as "Who Are You, Polly Maggoo?" (1966) and "Mr. Freedom" (1968), were known for their satirical and experimental nature.

Martin Parr CBEMartin Parr CBE (1952) is a British documentary photographer, photojournalist and photobook collector. He is known for his photographic projects that take an intimate, satirical and anthropological look at aspects of modern life, in particular documenting the social classes of England, and more broadly the wealth of the Western world. His major projects have been rural communities (1975–1982), The Last Resort (1983–1985), The Cost of Living (1987–1989), Small World (1987–1994) and Common Sense (1995–1999). The Martin Parr Foundation, founded in 2014, and registered as a charity in 2015 opened premises in his hometown of Bristol in 2017. It houses his own archive, his collection of British and Irish photography by other photographers, and a gallery. Parr’s grandfather encouraged his early interest in photography, and he studied at the Manchester School of Art. In the early 1980s, Parr produced a series of photographs of New Brighton, a run-down seaside resort outside Liverpool. The gaudy and sometimes grotesque imagery of these works seemed to reflect the spirit of Thatcher’s Britain, while echoing the tradition of tacky seaside postcards. More recently, Parr has addressed themes of consumerism, mass tourism and globalisation with a distinctive wit and sense of irony. In Common Sense (1995-9), he uses bright colours and exaggerated close-ups to explore the excesses of contemporary capitalism. Motifs such as heads, hats, hands, food and dogs are repeated throughout, creating a snatched catalogue of our all too familiar shortcomings.

One of Todd's most famous collections is House Hunting - available from Amazon Todd Hido's large color photographs of suburbia are lonely, forlorn, mysterious... and strangely comforting. Hido photographs the interior rooms of repossessed tract homes, and the outsides of similar houses at night whose habitation is suggested by the glow of a television set or unseen overhead bulb. Seldom does the similar evoke such melancholy. Yet rather than passing judgment on his anonymous subjects, Hido manages to turn the banal into something beautiful, imbuing his prints of interiors with soft pastels, and allowing the exteriors to glow in the cool evening air.' (From our description of the first printing of 'House Hunting', announced in 2000) We are excited to announce a newly remastered edition of Todd Hido's iconic and highly sought-after first monograph, House Hunting. To celebrate the upcoming 20th anniversary of this important book - certainly one of the most influential and oft-cited photography monographs of our time - we have collaborated closely with the artist to achieve a new impression of the highest possible fidelity. Printed on heavy weight matte art paper, using cutting-edge technologies in both the pre-press and production phases, this new edition of 'House Hunting' stays true to the original design and format while delivering even more accurate color rendition and nuances in tone and saturation. It will be a welcome addition to collections lacking access to the very scarce original printings; and to those fortunate enough to own a copy of the original edition, it further illuminates the images themselves that first catapulted the artist and his first monograph to fame.

Hugo van WadenoyenHugo van Wadenoyen (1892 – 1 March 1959 in Cheltenham) was a British photographer, of Dutch origins. He lived in Cheltenham England, and was an influential figure in the long drawn-out genesis of British fine art photography, especially in the 1945–1965 period. Van Wadenoyen led the « Combined Societies »; a progressive group of local photographic societies (Hereford, Wolverhampton, and Bristol) that, in 1945, broke away from the moribund Royal Photographic Society. He undertook a series of instructional books on photography, published by the Focal Press. Van Wadenoyen’s book Wayside Snapshots (Focal Press, 1947) marked a decisive British break with Pictorialism in photography, was a brave early attempt to use the book format as a means of showing a photographer’s personal pictures. Some of the book’s fresh approaches to landscape strongly influenced Raymond Moore. Van Wadenoyen was also a mentor to Roger Mayne, involving Mayne in the Combined Societies group exhibitions between 1951 and 1955. Photos that he took with a Purma camera were used in Purma camera manuals and Focal guides. More (1892 – 1 March 1959 in Cheltenham) was a...
