Chambré Hardman

Chambré Hardman

Edward Fitzmaurice Chambré Hardman (1898–1988) was an Irish photographer. He is usually referred to as simply "Chambre Hardman".

Hardman was born in Dublin, Ireland. From age 18, he spent four years as a regular officer in the Gurkha Rifles in India, after which he moved to Liverpool, England, which became his permanent home. Influenced by his father's amateur experiments Hardman became interested in photography during his childhood, but did not establish a working practice until 1923, when he opened a portrait studio in Liverpool. While portraiture was Hardman's livelihood, his real photographic interest lay in landscape photography, which he pursued throughout his life alongside his commercial practice. His most famous landscape photographs include "A Memory of Avignon"(1923), "The Copse" (1934) and "The Birth of the Ark Royal" (1950).

After Hardman's death a trust was established to protect and conserve his work. His house and studio at 59 Rodney Street, Liverpool, England is now run by the National Trust and is open to the public.
