Oct 31st 2009, Hallowen morning - A dressed up, colorful and happy crowd of a few thousands gathered in Brighton beach with the intention of breaking the Time Warp World record. The weather was not helping (cold, dark & wet) but the crowd didn't seem to mind, dancing and screaming along with Richard O'Brien & the Rock Horror crew. I happened to be passing by with my camera and a press pass, so I joined the backstage party and took a few pics to share with you.

I've just received an email letting me know that some of the Vertigo Series images have been selected for a show about the AOP Awards 2009 in the London Offices of Abbott Mead Vickers BBDO. The exhibition, showing only 32 images from the Awards, will remain at AMV until November 2009.

I've spend a few hours with the new up and coming band "the Perils", creating some new images for their press. We shot in three different locations but my favorite was definitely the roof top on the Brighton sea front (see images below) which looks just like a hotel roof top in Copacabana or Miami. 

"From Here", an exhibition curated by John Gill (Mentor curator, Brighton Biennial - together with three up and coming curators: Chloe Hoare, Max Houghton and Yasmina Reggad) is currently open in the old lanes in Brighton. The opening night was a big success with the gigantic floor space looking stunning & feeling actually crowded from time to time. From Here will be open until Sun 8th of November. Below are some pics from the Private View.

Opening hours: Friday to Sunday 12 - 6 pm
Moore House: 13 Black Lion St. - Hove - BN1 1ND 

This October, as a prequel to next year’s Biennial Festival of Photography, Brighton Photo Fringe is pleased to present From Here.
Three emerging curators, Chloe Hoare,Max Houghton and Yasmina Reggad, were chosen to work with mentor curator John Gill to select an exhibition from over 4000 images submitted from all corners of the globe.

The Brighton Arts Fair 2009 has just finished and I was exhibiting there for the first time.
I feel very positive about the experience and also totally exhausted... after three and a half days of giving my full attention to art & photography lovers and people from the art industry.
The "full moon", the "snow" and the "vertigo series" were received really well and the early numbers of the small limited editions quickly snapped away.
