The Brighton Trail

At the start of October I went on a little thing called the Brighton Camera Trail, a present for my birthday in June. A small group of amateur photographers are led around Brighton by a professional taking photographs of anything and everything whilst getting tips and tasks from the the pro. A lot of the things being taught were things that I already knew, but it was incredibly useful having someone affirm what I’d learned myself by messing with my camera’s settings. The highlight of the trail was a task we were given in the heart of the north laines where we were told to approach strangers and take portraits of them, in order to create a series of similar pictures, forming a ‘project’ of sorts. We weren’t forced to do this, and in fact one guy didn’t approach a single person, but it was a really useful exercise in building confidence with my camera in public settings.

So, here are a few of the photos I took on the trail. My project is going to feature in its own post, with a little more detail.
