Photography
Dorothy Bohm came to
England in 1939 from the Baltic States. She studied photography at the Manchester College of Technology, and at the age of 21 became a successful portrait photographer. When she began using natural light each picture became for her a fragment of the ever-changing imagery that she wanted to possess. A photograph is made in a fraction of a second. The ' film examines what happens in that second, both to the photographer and the person being photographed.
