Brighton Festival Event Photography

It's Brighton Festival time again. That great time of year when the city goes all crazy and there is all kinds of creativity going on.

Last year I was very fortunate to be asked to photograph the opening event / private view of a special Virtual Reality art exhibition / film experience at the Lighthouse in Brighton. 

It was my first experience of virtual reality and it was really interesting to see where the technology is going. Not to mention being in a room full of people in Brighton but all of us were transported to the Australian outback.

So if you're doing something for this years Brighton Festival make sure you enjoy it and go and have fun.

Photographing the Brighton Victorian Sewers

Something i've been wanting to do since I moved down to Brighton in 1992 was see the victorian sewer network and go on the tour which used to be organised during the Brighton Festival.

Well i'm very pleased to say that I got the opportunity to do so and to photograph the experience for Viva Brighton Magazine. We were given a private tour of this fantastic and fascinating environment and I tried to document it as best I could while shooting with the brief in mind. I learnt so many things about sewage and how the Victorians over engineered things, it was as I said fascinating. 

If you ever get the chance to go on the tour, I highly recommend it, just don't wait 25 years like I did.

Brighton Sound of Story Event Photography

I was very fortunate to be able to do some event photography for the wonderful Sound of Story run by the lovely people over at Arts and Culture agency, Lighthouse.

I found the day to be very interesting and learnt a hell of a lot about how sound works in movies. I've been watching films in a totally different light now, I say light, I should say listening to films in a totally different......well something.

The event took place at Brighton Dome and for me one of the highlights was seeing how a foley artist works to create the sound that you don't even know you are hearing.

So massive thanks to the guys at Lighthouse for asking me to photograph the event for them.

George Osbourne Visits Sussex Business

They say a week is a long time in politics and this week seems longer than most.

This time last week I was photographing the Chancellor George Osbourne on a visit to a Sussex engineering firm who I sometime shoot for as part of the EU Referendum Remain campaign. And a week later, we are living in a very different world. If I would have described to him last week all that would happen in the next seven days, I doubt he would have believed me. 

A week surely is a long time in politics.
