Delegates at Art in Holography 2, Nottingham University, England, September 1996. Click on the image to enlarge. Other images from the conference can be found via the "Part 2" link below.

During the 1990s and into the 21^st century I used a 4-lens Nimslo camera, originally intended for making lenticular prints, to make stereo pairs of my colleagues in the world of holography. I made prints from the outside two (of four) images  and mounted them on card. I scanned these later. Holograms by many of the individuals pictured appear in the collection.

Jonathan Ross, July 2025.

The links below take you to a collection of rich pdf documents (which open in a new window), containing 127 stereo images of holographers in their studios, exhibitions and while attending international conferences and events.

A new section of the Jonathan Ross Collection has been launched.

www.jrstereocollection.com

Jonathan Ross has been collecting stereoscopic photographs since the 1980s and has been posting images from his collection on Instagram for several years (@jross286).

He is now digitising and cataloguing the material to make a more permanent database on this website.

A wide range of photographers are presented with extensive images and notes about their work.

The site also includes links to other Stereo and Stereoview resources.

It is an ongoing project which will be updated over the following months.

www.jrstereocollection.com

We have now included a new section on the site which highlights some of the stereo views held in the collection.

This includes over 100 stereo 'slides' of people involved with holography - artists, scientists, producers and 'friends'.

There is also a full section on many of the Victorian stereo views in the collection and items from the 3x8+1 catalogue.

Take a look around the new sections here:
