News / Video: Dennis Coutts – Sixties Exposure
SHETLAND photographer Dennis Coutts’ exhibition of island life in the 1960s at the Bonhoga Gallery is the most popular ever staged by Shetland Arts.
His images capture a way of life that has since disappeared, but still conjure up distant memories for the hundreds of people who have been turning up in Weisdale ever since it opened.
Before the exhibition draws to a close on 4 March, Dennis spoke to Shetland News about his lifelong love affair with the lens and the circumstances that contributed to a charmed career in the pre-digital age.
