Throughout the history of photography, artists have exploited the creative potential of natural and artificial light in their work.
In Light Works, artists including Mike and Doug Starn, David Stephenson, Hiroshi Sugimoto and Bill Henson use the emotive and scientific capacities of light in their explorations of the world through contemporary photography.
