Just in case you didn’t see this one coming…our rather delightful Art & Photography Exhibition will take place on 20th June 6.30pm – 8.30pm. Work from Year 7 to Year 13 will be on show. Don’t forget to come up and say hello. Pics by Lizzie Jones and Josh Hernandez

A day with my father

Occasionally an image produced by a student can knock you sideways. Alex took the whole group by surprise with this powerful response. Challenged to produce a ‘photographic lie’, this is how Alex explained her photograph:

I was intrigued by Trish Morrissey’s work entitled “Front” and felt inspired by her brave approach to strangers. I wanted to work with an unknown person to create an image that was based on the relationship between a parent and a child. 
My dad died when I was younger and I have never experienced a typical day with a father.
Liaising with a friend of her mothers – someone previously unknown to her – Alex organised a supervised shoot, achieving this unnerving outcome with a snapshot aesthetic.

What a bunch of liars…!

Year 13 Students have been generating their own Photography life ‘fictions’ inspired by an essay by Bob Rogers titled ‘Photography Changes How Family History is Constructed’.
Don’t always believe what you see…

 

 

TEDx Brighton

Visited TEDx Brighton for a really stimulating day of talks from diverse individuals. The theme throughout the day was The Generation Gap and the event was curated by Natalie Lloyd, photography writer and all round friend of Dev Nicely.
