Winter trend spotting for Brighton Source and their funky new website
Source Magazine takes a little break in January this means I have a little break from trend spotting. It’s a good thing to as trend spotting in the winter is a little difficult because everyone tends to wear long coats which covers up their styles.
Source have just relaunched there website, not only does it look nice it’s also really easy to find older content. I have been putting my montage portraits on my blog, Flickr, and Tumblr but I only upload the images. Now you read the interviews that source have conducted with featured people all in one place on my author page on their site here.
This month features a male which is pretty unusual so I was really happy they picked the rather dapper Harry Watts fellow photographer and friend. Check him out and the other candidates below.
Brighton Christmas Day Swim 2011
I am a sea bather, I swim in the sea all year round without a wetsuit in temperatures as low as 4°C (39°F) and have been doing this for the past 8 years. For the most part I go swimming with my fellow members of the Brighton swimming club at 7:30AM when no one else is around to see our cold water exploits. Once a year that changes, on Christmas day the swimming club swims at 11am when it is joined by a large number of none club members, as many as 100 people enter the water. It’s not just the extra company we have in the water, we are also watched by over a 1000 people who line the beach and the groynes. Many of the swimmers don fancy dress costumes which, combined with the large crowds, makes it a fantastic event to document. The only problem is that it’s a very challenging environment to shoot in. I take my photos from the water with my Nikonos V water proof camera.
Lomokev judging Create In Brighton competition with £1000 cash prize
Are you a creative type living or working in Brighton? Then you could enter Create in Brighton. It’s a graphic design, photography and illustration competition in association with Know the Not Known and Tiger Beer.

Even though I am a little biassed I can say it’s a great competition to enter as its free, its quite common for comps to ask for an entrance fees sometimes £15+. Also the £1000 is in cash, other comps will often offer vouchers. So what are waiting for get involved. Continue reading
Last street style spread for Brighton Source magazine in 2011
The December / January edition of Brighton Source Magazine is out with my usually Street Style section but this time I have three pages instead of the usually single page. The three pages show small selection of some of the un-printed shots form 2011 which is nice as some times I have bumper months and its a shame when certain portraits don’t get published. There will be no issue in January so this issue is way bigger than usually because it has to last until February 2012.
As per usually you can see the all the images I shoot for Source in November below. You can always keep an eye on my montage portraits on my fragmented portraits tumblr or in my montage portraits flickr set.

Brighton Photography Book and Brighton 2012 calendar
Nigel Swallow the man behind the long running Brighton calendar has put together a huge book of Brighton Photos. It’s not just huge because of its 328 pages but also because its dimensions size 34cm x 24cm, the only thing that is not huge about is the price £24! The book has been 10 years in the making because Nigel kept him self busy running a gallery and putting together a calendar every year. Most of the work in the book is Nigel’s, the rest is contributed by 50+ other local photographers including me. Below is a flip though of the book that I put together.
