Enigma in the dark

Production shots from director Matthew Parker’s incredibly inventive European premiere of Snoo Wilson’s play Lovesong of the Electric Bear at the Hope Theatre.

The show, which gives a (very) fresh take on the life of Alan Turing, runs to 21 March.

Photo geeks may be interested to know that lots of these images were shot at f1.2.  Which is the production photography equivalent of “terrifying”.

Alpine Dreams: Hydroélectrique

BLOG PRINT STORE LINK

So I have a bit of a thing about dams.

Perhaps, what with there being a French TV series all about zombies hanging around a dam and everything, more people now have a thing about dams than used to.  But I accept that dams are not everyone’s cup of tea.

Nonetheless, there really is something rather compelling and, in its own way, beautiful about building giant walls of concrete halfway up mountains and stopping whole rivers in their tracks.

All these images and more are available to order from my print store.  And, having completely overhauled the kinds of prints I offer, I’m pleased to announce a 10% discount on all prints up to 15 March.  Just use the code “storm”.

PS For true dam geeks only, the seventh shot from the end in this series features an uncommon sight — the Lac d’Emosson’s Barrage de Barberine — now rarely seen in its fully glory because it’s normally underwater.
