SEAS Photography provides new insight into commercial seaside photographic practice from 1860-1990. The research brings focus onto a hitherto overlooked form of photography, revealing rich seams of imagery and offering new perspectives on coastal histories. SEAS Photography examines how the British seaside photograph can be reconsidered, acknowledging both the innovative practice of making photographs plein-air and also the sitter’s experience of having one’s image made within the public sphere. Through this website and associated exhibitions, publications and conference presentations, images which have never previously been seen are made visible and accessible.
