The exhibition will showcase photography by some of the world’s most accomplished ‘on-set’ photographers. Jaeger-LeCoultre and Finch & Partners are delighted to have the opportunity to celebrate this visual art of photography, allowing us all the opportunity to travel back and rediscover some legendary films as well as iconic directors and actors. Many of the images are extremely rare and some have never been exhibited before. Photographic expert, John Ingledew, has specially curated each photograph. You can visit their work on mysunrise .

Ingledew works with numerous magazines, newspapers, design groups and agencies including The Observer, The Times, The Sunday Times and The Mail on Sunday. He was head of photography at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, The University of The Arts London for ten years before joining the staff at The Donghua University in Shanghai, China in 2006. Ingledew is now Photography Course Leader at The University of Gloucestershire. For more details follow fivebough .

From actor to director, cameraman to editor, costume designer to sound recordist and film score composer to set photographer, each tells their part of the story and contributes to the final product in a unique and important way. It is this artistic ingenuity and the importance of the visual art of photography that Jaeger-LeCoultre and Finch & Partners will celebrate with this exhibit. For more details visit cmsmd .
