FLORENCE & GERTRUDE
ABOUT US
Florence & Gertrude is the creative partnership of artists, photographers and writers, Jules and Harry. Originally founded as students in 1976 when Jules studied drama and photography at Newcastle and Harry studied experimental cartography at the Royal College of Art but spend most of his time experimenting in the photography department's darkrooms. Fast forward forty odd years and not much has changed. Jules is still a drama queen, Harry's still working in the dark.
So how did the name Florence & Gertrude come about? Well, it's in dedication to the two dear old 'aunties' who used to live near Jules when she was growing up. Jules remembers with great fondness the 1920's flapper dress they gave her to wear at her 18th birthday party. And of course the box brownie she took on her first school trip that started her lifelong passion for photography.
