Real Sociedad Fotografica (RSF), one of Spain's noted photo institutions, is holding an exhibition for local fans under the themes ``Yesterday'' and ``Today'' at Insa Art Center through Nov. 24.
More than 50 photos by 40 photographers under the wing of RSF will be on display. The institution boasts a 110-year history.
The exhibition will not only offer distinctive works by some of Spain's most famous photographers, but also a range of Spanish photos from the 1900s to today. Korean visitors will get to witness the artistry, tradition and evolution of Spain's photography at the event.
The exhibition is free of charge. For more information, call (02) 736-1020.
Among the many photographers to have their works on display at the event, some of the most famous are Jose Frisuelos, Fernando Maquieira and the late Jose Ortiz Echague.
Frisuelos has been taking photographs ever since he was a student and he owns his own professional photo laboratory called ``Daylight.'' Maquieira, one of Europe's leading documentary photographers, has worked on various documentaries, advertisements and films. Ortiz Echague is one of the most famous photographers in Spain and has won numerous awards and prizes for his distinctive work called ``carbon al fresson,'' a technique where photos are made to look like paintings through blurry lines and soft texture.
The Real Sociedad Fotografica Photographers' Invitational will be held at Insa Art Center, Gwanhun-dong, northern Seoul, through Nov. 24.
