Nicholas Hughes, photographer

A while ago some friends and I visited a small, but impressive, exhibition of Mr Hughes’ photographs. The quality and awesome size of the images stuck in my head, so it is hardly surprising that when I visited the South Coast I was keen to see if I could get to grips with how he might have produced his images. (True, my memory wasn’t 100% and my results are not quite right, but I think I have learned a bit more about the medium.) Mine are the right two, and actually, now that I look at them again I see I have a way to go!

More Christmas

Good Form and the making of here.
