Southbank Bristol Arts

Cool and alternative portrait and documentary photography

The devil is in the detail. My work picks out graphic form, blasts of colour and quirky humour in the overlooked details of everyday life. Subjects range from architecture and urban decay to shipyards, the beauty of nature, and Bristol graffiti. A large range of prints, canvases, calendars and cards at affordable prices.

From their base on North St, illuminate reprise and reflect upon the recent Spring Forward event. Photographs by Nlarge (Knowle West Media Centre) plus the transformed street model by Maddy Cole and films by Bristol based artists can be seen during the weekend.

Dave will be showing work recently shown at the ArtSway gallery in the New Forest plus new images taken in the last six months in Canada and Bedminster!

Dave's ‘quiet photography’ is rooted in the landscape tradition and aims to deliver a potential hidden narrative.

Last year was my first with the Arts Trail, as well as being my first exhibition since a Typography degree show 20 years ago. Having not embarrassed myself entirely, I’ll be back again this year with much more of the same – lots of big, bright flowers on framed and canvas prints, postcards, greetings cards, cushions and brooches. Plus more digital images of Bristol – graphic prints of balloons, graffiti details and abstract harbour reflections.

I have been taking photography seriously for the last 2 years and had a number of exhibitions of my work around Bristol.
I am also a founder member of the local Photographic Association “Second Look”.
I like to challenge the perceptions we have of beauty.
There are things that are not considered of aesthetic value and usually ignored.
I am fascinated by the minute detail of such rusty, neglected or weathered items, as when seen up close and out of context, they can reveal such beautiful imagery.

All these images are taken using my mobile phone.

Landscapes of the local area as well as some from further afield, plus some new work for this trail
