Railways to Royalty: Jo Durrant in conversation with Jack Boskett, Photographer

  • The Museum in the Park Stratford Park, Stratford Road Stroud, Gloucestershire, England, GL5 4AF United Kingdom (map)

We are delighted to announce that Jo Durrant will be back at The Museum in the Park presenting a new series of conversations with authors, historians and special guests. First up is photographer Jack Boskett!

How do you tell a story through a photograph? 
Award-winning professional photographer Jack Boskett started his Tewkesbury based business at the age of just 19 and his passion for photography coincided with his love of railways. 
 
His work has brought him much acclaim and recognition in railway publications and his skill has led him to photograph stars of stage and screen, prime ministers and especially members of the Royal Family. In fact, Jack took the only known photograph of a senior member of the Royal Family leaning out of a moving train!
 
Join Jack in conversation with Jo Durrant as he talks about his passion for photography, the different areas he’s worked in, what it’s like to capture Royalty and Railways and much more.
