If Marjorie Doggett were alive today, her photographs might have been there, standing out from all the rest. After all, Doggett, who passed away in 2010, made her name as an architectural photographer in Singapore in the 1950s, and a new exhibition showcases some of her work that hadn't been published before.
Born in Britain, she was still a teenager when a local chemist taught her film development and printing skills. During the Second World War, she trained as a nurse, but continued to pursue photography.
