Art Advisor Stylist Exhibition

In may 2011, I exhibited some photos in a new gallery/empty shop initiative in Orpington, Kent. My photos on show were Covent Garden 1 and Toast 1 - both are part of a series I shot on film in 2002.
Covent Garden 1
The technique is as follows: I shot on slide film E6 and developed in C41 print chemicals. It is trial and error to get the desired effect but chemicals and film react differently in some situations and so you really don't know the exact effect you are going to achieve! Colours are intensified and highlights bleached out! With the right subject, it can produce stunning effects such as these.
Toast 1
The shop gallery was home to various local artists in all different mediums. Situated in a busy shopping centre, there was almost something for everyone!
