Denis Pellerin is a photo-historian, photographer and author with a passion for stereo photography. He graduated with an MA in Art History from the Sorbonne and has been researching the history of stereo photography for over 40 years. He has written many articles and books on the subject, both in French and English and travels widely giving talks on all aspects of the history of stereo photography. During his 30th year as a secondary schoolteacher, Denis had the good fortune to meet and work with Dr Brian May before being hired by the latter as the curator of his extensive photographic collection. Denis has co-authored three previous books with Brian: Diableries: Stereoscopic Adventures in Hell (2013), The Poor Man's Picture Gallery (2014), and Crinoline: Fashion's Most Magnificent Disaster (2016). He is deeply involved in various activities of The London Stereoscopic Company, and is the Archivist for the recently established Brian May Archive of Stereoscopy.
