I have decided to try and start doing some features of photographers I like, and up and coming photographers I think you should keep an eye on.
So here is my first feature, David Severn - a guy I used to be on A level photography with, if very briefly. Anyway so he has just finished a project entitled 'Thanks Maggie' which is now showing at the Mansfield Museum in Nottinghamshire, so if you're up that way, you should check it out. Here's a brief introduction to his work:
"This series of photographs explores the reinvented uses of ex
colliery sites in and around the former coal mining stronghold of
Mansfield, Nottinghamshire. The project also seeks to examine the
current milieu of the area, particularly in relation to its
post-industrial recovery. I myself grew up in the town and like so many
from Mansfield, come from a mining family - my Father working at the
pits all his life and my Grandfather a Deputy at nearby Sutton Colliery
during his time." - David Severn
