Lucy Bell founded The Independent Photographers Gallery in Battle in 2001 with her husband, the renowned darkroom printer Robin Bell (see www.robinbell.com)
In 2009 she moved to “the Portobello Road of the South” Norman Road, in St Leonards-on-Sea. The Gallery’s ethos is to promote fine art photography in the region whilst maintaining international and national connections. Working with with both industry professionals, amateurs and university students, the gallery exhibits not only those who have established their careers but new and groundbreaking talent.
The gallery sells prints from all previous exhibitions and we can also advise on collections, and source materials for private collectors as well as for hotels, property developments, and restaurants.
