I produced a “Brighton Book” under the name ‘North Laine Photography’ in 2011 - this sold all 6000 copies. It was a very large book both in size and weight and featured many photographers. It was based on 11 years of producing a popular Brighton and Hove Calendar, which had in turn helped fund a gallery and studio in the North Laine.
The gallery and seperate studio ran, produced and exhibited public competitions, competition finalist shows, guest artist exhibitions and community art projects.
These were exhibited in one half of the gallery whilst popular images of the city were sold in the other half.

I always intended to produce a smaller (approx 20x15cm) book of just my own images solely on the community of Brighton enjoying itself…. but time slipped by with other projects .... till now. About half of the proposed images for this publication will come from the period the first book covered / so about half the images proposed might of appeared in the previous larger book... I don’t know yet! The other half will definitely be fresh to book publication - though some may of been featured in the Brighton and Hove Calendars prior to the 2021 edition (when I handed over that publication).
All images were taken between 1998 and 2019.
I have mostly been taking photos of clouds and trees and ‘stuff like that’ for personal pleasure - after this period.
The book is about the joy of being in Brighton.
