Showfield
A BOOK BY Sarah G Ascough
"I looked through with both pleasure and envy! A great addition to the Foundation library."
MARTIN PARR
"A wonderfully accomplished, respectful and acutely observed set of pictures full of character."
PETER DENCH
"It’s absolutely delightful! I spent 5 years working on a weekly local paper and photographed lots of agricultural shows, so your book brought back very happy memories. I like the way you’ve shot the images quite wide so we pick up lots of atmosphere, detail and great faces in the scenes. Love that shot from Bakewell of the man in cap and duck. Also the lady and hairy dog from Longridge. Congratulations."
TOM STODDART
"Ascough’s black & white images not only make you feel as if you are there, but also help you understand the skill it takes to get so close but not lose the moment...It’s a classic combination of finely tuned photographic art and a humorous eye. Five stars."
STEVE FAIRCLOUGH (AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER MAGAZINE)
"Great photographs. Great printing."
