Bill Rowlinson at Photofusion from tomorrow

When the multi-award winning master printer Bill Rowlinson died in 2008 he bequeathed his collection of prints to Photofusion in Brixton, London. Beginning in the 1960s, in a career spanning some 40 years, Rowlinson printed for the great and the good - from Julia Margaret Cameron (above) to Sarah Moon. He was the first Ilford Printer of the Year in 1975, an award that continued for 25 years until falling victim to shrinking budgets, during which time he was to win the award on several more occasions. His collection comprises prints he made from the nagatives of many of his high profile commercial and fine art photographer clients and is on show at Photofusion from 27 November 2009 for two months.
