Pageantry & Performance DVD - Description
The peerless pageantry and flawless performance of Britain's Household Cavalry requires both horses and riders to demonstrate extreme commitment and skill; for a photographer to capture the kaleidoscope of colour, sound, movement and spirit, requires similar levels of proficiency. Henry Dallal, as his new DVD shows, has those abilities.
Henry Dallal's inexorable commitment to the photographic documentation of the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment and Household Division troops has created a noble artistic presentation that weaves his camera into the fabric of the Regiment itself. The result is a fascinating DVD documenting the creative process; featuring interviews with military historian professor Richard Holmes, Lieutenant General Simon Mayall, Deputy Chief of Defence Staff (Operations) and Major-General Sir Evelyn Webb-Carter, KCVO, OBE; who commanded the Household Division.
Extending beyond the usual picture postcard photo treatment of the Household Cavalry, award winning photographer Henry Dallal brings to bear his remarkable affinity with equine pageantry from an inside view of the Regiment leading up to official portraits of Her Majesty The Queen. Originally projected as a son et lumiere spectacle inside the walls of Windsor Castle, this DVD provides an intimate portrait of British Pageantry and Performance
