About Dunfermline and Its People: Joseph McKenzie
See the faces, places, spirit and soul of Dunfermline as captured by Joseph McKenzie’s lens in 1967 and 1968 – you might even spot a familiar face or two!
Alice Pearson, the exhibition curator says: “Joseph McKenzie really brings the city to life – its history, its location, its hustle and bustle, as well as the friendliness of its people. He gave us a remarkable portrait of a place in the midst of momentous change, providing glimpses of a world that has all but vanished.”
Joseph McKenzie became a prolific photographer through the 1960s, documenting Scotland as it underwent momentous social change.
After serving as a photographer in the RAF, he taught photography at St Martins School of Art, London, and then at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art, Dundee.
Mr McKenzie’s work is held in the collections of the National Portrait Gallery of Scotland, the Victoria and Albert Museum and the McManus Art Gallery and Museum in Dundee.
