Magnum Photos at Latitude Festival

Magnum Photos at Latitude Festival

21st – 25th July 2022, Faraway Forest, Henham Park, Suffolk

With the festival season back in full flow, Magnum Photos Agency and Latitude Festival collaborate on woodland exhibition.

Metro Imaging has been producing external exhibitions for Latitude Festival for over ten years and this year we present Magnum Photos: Protest exhibition. Printed directly onto Foamex using our Direct to Media service this is the perfect way to present an exhibition of this type.

Protest

Of the most universally recognisable images in photography, many are photographs of protest. There exists a myriad of reasons why these images gain such a heightened place in public consciousness. This exhibition examines the ways in which Magnum photographers have documented protest and resistance throughout history, and the resonance that these images hold across time.

The curation captures the different ways in which protests can manifest: from people on the streets exercising their objection to portraits of individuals, famous or unknown, whose acts of resistance, however small or epic, were immortalised in a photograph and adopted by millions

as representative of something meaningful to their cause. Captured on camera, individual acts of defiance, often
part of larger protests, have gone on to become symbolic of the movement they represent.

The exhibition is presented in the Faraway Forest as part of the festival Arts Programme. Follow Hyperlinks for more information and look out for regular Metro Imaging Instagram posts for more updates.

We offer the following types of printing

C Type Professional Photo Printing

We have been printing the highest quality C-Type prints for decades and digital C-Types produced on our Lambda have the archival and tonal benefits of traditional photographic papers, with the advantages of digital photo printing. C-Types are a conventional photographic print from a digital file, and as such is the most suitable option when printing a colour photograph.

Fine Art Giclée Printing

We have Hahnemuhle and Canson Giclée Certified Studio staus and with over 30 years experience in photographic printing we use the most advanced inkjet technologies. Giclée is a gallery-quality inkjet print onto fine art watercolour paper. This is most suitable for art illustrations, but can also be used for colour and B&W photographs.

Black & White Printing

We have worked in collaboration with Harman Technology to develop genuine B&W silver gelatin Fibre-Based and Resin-Coated photographic prints from digital files. The Resin-Coated is suitable for most types of B&W printing, and Fibre-Based is ideal for exhibition quality.

Metro called it Direct to Media. Essentially this is a UV printing machine that can produce very large, up to 3m x 2m prints on any flat material less than 10cm thick. So we can print on wood, metal, slate and pretty much anything you can think of.

Direct to Media Printing

Direct to media printing is exactly that; we print your image directly to a substrate of your choice. Be it paper, card, aluminium, Perspex, canvas, wood, slate… Our Jetrix UV inkjet flatbed printer can print on any flat surface up to 3m x 2m, less than 10cm thick. To ensure your material is suitable, we can print test prints around A4 in size.

This is a print on adhesive vinyl. The vinyl is on a roll and 1.2m wide, but it can printed in multiple pieces in order to cover a wall.

Vinyl Printing

Vinyl Phototex is chosen for its high-quality Giclée finish as well as its ease of application to wall or mounting material due to its self-adhesive properties. We can print on vinyl using our direct to media printer, in strips of 1.5m x 3m and these can be applied to the wall in the fashion of wallpaper to cover a complete wall or interior.
