I recently photographed the private view for Clair Chinnery’s Solo exhibition at UCS Waterfront gallery. On loan from Colchester & Ipswich Museums was a stuffed Cuckoo. When Clair spoke about the chameleon-like manner in which the species Cuculus imitates the host bird’s egg size and colouring I could not help but notice how the lighting […]
Pictures at an Exhibition (3)
The frozen and grubby white Ipswich streets coupled with a lack of technical staff at UCS this morning have conspired to force me to generate new work from my previous assignment. Based on viewing rates generated by the computer program I used, I selected the top 18 images from both the Random Enigma and The […]
Analogue versus Digital
I regularly photograph this garage in Ipswich, either on my way to or from University Campus Suffolk. I shoot with whatever camera I have with me, Nikon P6000, Olympus Trip 35, Fuji GW670III, Nikon FE2 etc. Today’s shot was on the P6000, yet I see this garage as an analogue garage. What will happen when […]

What a hectic start to the month! Bettina von Zwehl attended UCS and presented a guest lecture and I was asked to photograph her. Then we had a Lee Miller lecture provided by her son and granddaughter that was extremely good and I got to take their pictures too. Add to that photographing the launch […]

I had hoped to get some large format work done but this has slipped me by but I did get to finish a very satisfying commercial shoot for Seager Home Solutions […]
Free Range Degree Show
Just been to the Free Range Photography degree show and assessed UCS Ipswich against the other universities. I have to admit to being singularly unimpressed by much of the competition. UCS can be rightly proud of their work in terms of content, quality and presentation
UCS BA(Hons)Photography degree show 2012
Last night saw the opening night of a two location degree show for students at Ipswich that will be followed by a showing at Free Range next week. I recently attended the AOP Student Awards show in the Hoxton Gallery and I have to say that UCS put on a venue far better than that […]
