A Brighton Retrospective

5 years living, shooting and experiencing Brighton led me to create this project and zine. All shot on 35mm black and white and self-developed and scanned.

A huge part of my photography has always been focused on people. I love connecting with people via a camera, and especially on a multitude of formats, including medium format film. Within this project, which I currently do not have a name for, are some of my favourite portraits I have taken on film.

Street photography is something I have always done. My focus has always drifted through it as I never really considered it an art form until recently. In my book, I spent 5 years “documenting” Brighton. In reality, this was street photography but just more localised. This project is just a collection of my favourite “street” shots from my time shooting.

I spent around 3 days in Bognor Regis, shooting, speaking and learning about the town and it’s history. My plan was to determine if the stigma the town has is factual or just a load of tall tales told by outsiders who have never been.
