Spent a couple of nights wandering the South Coast of UK with another artist (Gavin Peacock) looking for interesting lighting, locations, backgrounds & playing with ideas. The below images were created in a deserted foot path that connects the motor-way to the sea, crossing a train line & passing through some old ruins. The night was very bright (Full Moon) and I decided to create a series of images by experiment with some slow traveling light with some ridiculously long exposures (up to 9min). It was a kind of therapeutic process, a test for patience and almost mathematical in some ways. In the end, the small details captured by the long exposures combined with the quality of the diffuse reflected moon-lighting was just amazing... I can't wait to make some really large prints...  More images coming soon!

Good news! I have been invited to be the artist of the week in the "Brighton Arts Fair" and "Made UK" website. To read the interview and see images please follow the link:  http://madeuk.blogspot.com/2010/06/artist-of-week-andre-lichtenberg.html   Brighton Arts Fair 2010 will be held at the Corn Exchange building, in Brighton. From the 16th to the 19th Sep. Please pop in and see me at stand no 64.
 

Apologies for the lack of communication lately... but last month (May) has been ubber busy in the HQ. A new series was selected to the final stages of judging of the prestigious AOP Awards London, the final judging will take place shortly in July. The Vertigo series was curated for the HOUSE Open exhibition in the glorious Brunswick Town House... (the images on show were then shortlisted for the Visiting Brighton Awards (voted by the visitors) & the Spectrum Awards - unfortunately didn't win neither but hey...). Apart from that I was commissioned to shoot some new landscapes (full moon images) in Southern Ireland and to produce and photograph an advertising campaign for Gillete in Scandinavia, shooting either in Finland in Norway. Now I am back home in lovely Hove and hungry to create more personal fine art work. (Below an image from Helsinki with its stunning architecture)
