Our hours of daylight are fading, but that’s no reason to avoid getting out and seeking some photographic inspiration. Here we’ve singled out some fun events for you to get involved with over the weekend.
Matt Hart – Reflections of A Street Photographer
You won’t want to miss the first solo exhibition of renowned Street Photographer Matt Hart. An official Fujifilm Ambassador, Matt Hart has led hundreds of master classes around the UK on Street Photography and worked on assignments all over the world. He shoots black & white candid images as a professional, but for an alternative selfie project he recently caught his own image reflected in his street photographs and has also been experimenting with colour. HIP Gallery’s Alan Raw has curated a selection of these photo reflections and combined them with some of Matt’s colour images, to give a new perspective on this celebrated photographer.
