About this deal

I now have an indelible disposition to look at scenes and see them “properly” in stereo. A lot of people go through almost their whole lives without realising they have this wonderful depth of perception. My job as the stereoscopic evangelist is to go, “No, there is a way you can transform your pictures into a format that will enable you to enjoy them forever as you did at the time of capture.”’ This show exhibits new 3-D photography from the LSC’s latest publication “Stereoscopy Is Good For You: Life in 3-D”. But the presentation also includes a dazzling array of historical images communicating the excitement of Stereoscopy in Victorian times, and a selection of Brian May’s own stereoscopic work depicting QUEEN from the inside, as well as his own history in stereoscopy. While getting books signed by Brian May, visitors will also have the opportunity to explore the wonders of the exhibition –“Stereoscopy Is Good For You: Life in 3-D”. For the next 5 months, the exhibition will offer visitors the chance to experience 3-D first-hand, using May’s patent OWL viewers, in three areas channeling the new SIGFY book, the Birth of Stereoscopy, and QUEEN in 3-D.

Stereoscopy is Good For You by May | Waterstones

A wondrous immersive exhibition celebrating the magic of stereoscopic 3-D photography in the 21st Century Queen guitarist Brian May tells Geoff Harris how the pandemic inspired people worldwide to take great stereo photography. They are celebrated in a new book and exhibition.The range of subjects in these entirely new stereo pictures is immense, with more than 100 contributing photographers finding inspiration in Nature, people, pets, architecture, the sky above, and much more. This book is set to become a lasting testament to the evocative power of 3-D photography. It’s amazing – I feel a little bit lost for words – I was quite nervous . My Press night last night – that’s where I’m sort of speaking to people who don’t know what stereo is…Tonight I‘m speaking to a room full of of experts in stereoscopy – right?! So I have to be really careful!

To be honest, yes, I didn’t realise how far the message had got. As I say in the introduction to the book, this is a kind of evangelical effort. I still believe we can properly put stereoscopy on the map.

You feel a great responsibility when it comes to choosing the images. I don’t like being judgemental, and we just wanted to distil the best of everybody’s work. As it turned out, most of the people who submitted work are represented in some way, but of course some people put in irresistible work, so were featured more than once.’ I want to 3-D: stereoscopic images that come alive in Brian May’s book and exhibition from Andrew Lauren, New York As part of the promotion for Brian'sforthcoming bookStereoscopyIs Good For You: Life in 3-D, a leadingLondon photography gallery shallruna five monthexhibition,showcasing some of the captivatingimagery.

I worked with my “great accomplice” Denis Pellerin, spending hours and hours editing the images into a format which would be both beautiful and comfortable to look at.’ The book credits Charles Wheatstone as the inventor of the stereoscope. “He was denied his proper place, other people claimed that they had invented it, and some of those falsehoods survived until quite recently,” said May. The book sets the record straight, he added. Touchdown! As first ever sample of Bennu - believed to be the most hazardous asteroid in the universe - landed today in the Utah desert Then downstairs is Queen in 3-D, encompassing not just being with Queen on and off the road, but my history with 3-D. I can’t wait to see how people react to this.For this book, we put out an invitation to this global community to send us their stereoscopic memories of life during the Covid Years. I’m thrilled that London’s prestigious PROUD gallery will be hosting our exhibition for a massive FIVE MONTHS. The stars seem to be aligning – this is IT ! “Stereoscopy Is Good For You” will put 3-D firmly on the map in 2022 !” Does Brian think that some would-be exponents are put off by the time involved in stereoscopic photography? Or have apps made it much easier?
