In the world of photography, there is often the romantic image of the lone artist trying to realise their vision in the studio. In fact, there is a whole host of specialist networks and practitioners that the photographer depends upon in order to produce their work. In this film, we follow the artist Catherine Yass on a journey across a small part of London to meet some of these specialist practitioners, and to unpack the skills and connections that underpin contemporary art photography in an environment of rapid technological change. Finding Photography: Catherine Yass is part of a V&A Research Institute (VARI) project Encounters on the Shop Floor. The project aims to explore the nature of embodied knowledge across a range of different making practices, in dialogue with academics and museum professionals. VARI is a five-year programme of projects and partnerships supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
