Gus studied Fine Art at the Painting School of the Royal College of Art, but has also taken numerous film and photography courses. During his Masters in Photography, he travelled across the United States on a Greyhound bus, taking a series of colour photographs of ‘rockers’ and ‘bikers’. A London exhibition was scheduled for 2007.
Gus was a Professor of Photography at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York where Eastman Kodak was formed, and has also taught in Florence and at the Royal College of Art. Acclaimed as a leading exponent of monochrome photography, Gus Wylie’s photography books on the Hebrides have earned him the accolade of ‘best modern photographer of the Western Isles’. He is currently the Course Director of the Postgraduate Masters Course in Fashion and Photography at the University of Arts in London.
Gus will bring some of his books to sell, his latest being ‘The Hebrideans’.
