The International Book festival programme is out with news of my exhibition. This will be year 4 and I am definitely going to run out of space this year. The concept is simple and the hours long!! I shoot some of the authors (be they politicians, film stars, comedians or just plain old writers) from my very modest outdoor studio. In the evening I retouch and print them and the next day before the public arrive I have them hung ready to start shooting the next batch. It all goes on for 2 weeks and entrance is free.
The work is hung in Charlotte Sqaure Gardens, Edinburgh. www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_WU2exEUj8

Although this site is now live, it's running much slower than I would like and there is still some work to be added including another video piece.
The images are much too high res so I need to correct this.
Please do bookmark this site and join my Facebook page. I shall endeavour to make the necessary adjustments asap.
Thanks for your understanding, it is a lot of work to get it looking right.
