I have been doing a personal project, taking one hundred photographic portraits of people who live/work in our local town Mere. It has been fascinating meeting one hundred random people! So many different lives, jobs, interests going on in one town. I love it when my subject makes an effort and poses well for me, it isn't always easy to get them to do so! General David Leakey, Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod 2010-2018 was extremely game. Thank you David.
So this has taken me almost eighteen months - I will be part of our local Wylye Valley Art Trail exhibiting a selection of portraits as well as other photographs. There will also be a book of all the portraits that for anyone who is interested can purchase. (hardback 12" x 12")
This project has been a massive learning curve on lots of levels. I cant wait to show it off.
