Liza Dracup is a British contemporary photographer whose work captures a magical and often eerie atmosphere, revealing a photographic vision unavailable to the eye. For her new series of photographs, Landmarks, she turns her attention to photographic material in the Harrogate Fine Art collection. Dracup was given access to the Mercer Gallery's collection of Victorian photographs and invited to respond to them in her own way. Landmarks features well loved and familiar Yorkshire locations: Hackfall Woods, The Strid Wood at Bolton Abbey, the spectacular railway bridge crossing the River Nidd at Knaresborough and Ilkley Moor, all seen through Dracup’s painterly lens. Dracup, a north of England based photographer, has developed a national reputation for her photographic practice, being previously nominated for both the Deutsche Börse Photography Prize 2012 and the Prix Pictet (Earth) Photography Award 2009.
