Adur in 1940

I’m working on a personal photography project which I’ve named Loopholes which focuses on the 1940 wartime defences that remain intact in Sussex. My recent work is around the banks of the river Adur in Shoreham and the south coast.

Above is the small, low slung machine-gun position on Lancing beach which now is overlooked by the more contemporary beach huts. The shingle has swamped this emplacement but it remains largely intact.

This is one of the infantry pillboxes along the east bank of the river Adur. A fine example of a second world war pillbox that is still in position after 85 years.

Loopholes

I’m working on a photographic project focusing on 1940s defensive structures in Sussex. I’ve named this project ‘Loopholes’ after the gun embrasures in the pillboxes (bunkers) that still exist 85 years after they were built.

Here are some recent test photos taken in digital in preparation for a medium format film camera shoot. These bunkers are along the banks of the river Adur in Shoreham-by-Sea on the edge of Shoreham airport.

The Otter Bench

I was back at the Otter Bench shooting some photographs in a Sussex woodland recently. The bench is carved from a fallen tree and sits near a chalk stream. It’s a great place for meditation and a calming place in a busy world.

It’s always great to get out and be in the outdoors even when there is a chill in the air, highly recommended!

Being Creative

Being creative is a challenge! Just remaining motivated on a daily basis in its self can be tough.

I’ve been inspired by writing poetry and song writing recently which is a great outlet for my creativity. My design work is mainly visual and working on creative writing on a daily basis is a very complimentary exercise.

I’ve always enjoyed the challenge of creating something from a blank page, or digital screen. For some that would be a situation they would never chose to be in but not for me.

So if your a creative reading this please be inspired and I can really recommend using different creative techniques to enhance your creative practice.

Summer

It’s been a great summer so far, I hope that you are enjoying it! I’ve been busy creating video and capturing images whilst on my travels. I now have the use of a campervan which makes for a brilliant base for exploring, I’ll be uploading more work when the production phase is completed.

Until then, have fun in the sun!

Alberic’s Scrapbook Revisited

I’m looking at some of the footage from my Alberic’s Scrapbook video project that I created some months ago. It was a collection of video, dance and music influenced by myths, the nature of water, the changeable nature of life and the ghost stories of M R James.

There is a mix for you!

A lot of the filming was completed around the south coast of England and this area is great for this type of work. I’m probably going to start another video project that is a follow up to Alberic’s Scrapbook as I really enjoyed creating it!!

Brighton Photo Biennial

I’ve been visiting the exhibitions and talks in the Brighton Photo Biennial there is a lot of inspiring work and images on display. There is also an inspiring and impressive list of events to attend.

Also attended a great workshop run by Annis Joslin on Space to Collaborate which was working with photography and collaboration in the classroom using rapid, responsive image capture techniques. There were some very interesting method for image detail focus and response to words/images.
