Exhibition Bio - Unseen Perspectives: Dawn Boon & Tony Lumb
Unseen Perspectives brings together the work of local photographers Dawn Boon and Tony Lumb, offering a fresh look at the world through two distinct but complementary lenses. This exhibition invites viewers to look beyond the obvious, highlighting the ephemeral beauty of the sky and the overlooked details of the natural and built environment.
With decades of experience across diverse photographic genres, both Boon and Lumb have refined their focus toward the landscape—capturing the soul of the local Fenlands alongside national and international vistas. Their work spans the quiet drama of local horizons to the intricate patterns of urban life and wildlife. Each piece is produced digitally and printed in-house to archival standards, ensuring that these "unseen" moments are preserved with exceptional clarity and longevity.
Artist Bio - Dawn Boon is a contemporary photographer based in Cambridgeshire, whose work investigates the "sense of place" found within the British landscape. Drawing inspiration from the unique topography of the Fens, exploring the delicate intersection of environment, wildlife, and seasonal change.
Having earned her MA in Photography in 2024, Boon’s research-led practice initially focused on the local wash fields, documenting the ecological impact of seasonal flooding. Since then, her lens has shifted toward the "lesser-seen" Fenland, with dedicated studies of Holme Fen and Woodwalton Fen. Her practice is defined by a tactile, end-to-end process; she works primarily in digital photography and personally produces fine art prints in her studio using archival papers.
While her core work is rooted in the soil of East Anglia, Boon maintains a global practice. This includes botanical fine art studies of British flora alongside street and wildlife photography captured during international travels—creating a compelling juxtaposition between the "urban jungle" and the untamed natural world.
The Photographs in the exhibition are also for sale directly via email here or from the gallery.
