Dorothy Bohm – "one of the doyennes of British photography" – has an exhibition in the Print Room downstairs at the Photographers' Gallery.

"I have spent my lifetime taking photographs. The photograph fulfils my deep need to stop things from disappearing. It makes transience less painful and retains some of the special magic, which I have looked for and found. I have tried to create order out of chaos, to find stability in flux and beauty in the most unlikely places.”
