James Withey talk at Add The Colour
January 10, 2011
Brighton has quite a booming photography scene and some very good minded people, photography fans, if thats the term (albeit very accomplished photographers themselves) who put on a lot of events to feed this enthusiasm. We’d just like to then bring to your attention the continuing series of FREE talks organised by Architectural photographer Jim Stephenson, or as you may know him ClickClickJim.
The next talk is tomorrow at AddTheColour in Brighton and showcases James Withey who will be talking about his work, and answering questions etc.
James is originally from Dorset but has spent the past 15 years living in Glasgow and is a new Brighton resident. His work, predominantly in black and white encourages the viewer to look at everyday objects and corners that are beautiful in unexpected ways. James will be talking about his current project which explores human emotions through light and shadow and will be looking back at his earlier work that informed the project. (words by Jim Stephenson).
There will also be a chance to buy him a beer for his dry throat in the Foundry pub after the talk.
Next up is Erika Szostak- who if the name is familiar we blogged about before as she started her studies on gender and role, after discussing her photographs of performers with Kevin and Matt, whilst a student on our Creative Photography Course. The image “Trapped” from the series shot as part of the Creative Course exercises, was selected as one of the winners of the European Women’s Lobby “My World: Visions of 21st-Century Feminism” Award. (The second award winning image that has been shot by a student as one of the Creative Course practises- the other student had her image exhibited in the National Portrait Gallery in London.)
So go check out the talks, and thank Jim for putting them on.
