Promotional photography for University of Bristol’s Medical School

In 2012, I was asked to take pictures of the facilities, staff and students for the University of Bristol’s Medical School. I have recently been asked to return to update the images for their website and social media. Here are some of the pictures.

Tijuana Vertical Film Festival

My art film ‘Grumbling Hive’ draws on a poem written by Bernard Mandeville in 1714 called the ‘Fable of the Bees‘ is to be screened at the Tijuana Vertical Film Festival in Mexico at the end of August. The festival celebrates experimental and art cinema from around the world. All the films in the festival will have been created in the vertical format.

This film was also on show at the Vertical Film Festival in Rome earlier in the year.

The poem describes how a society can only thrive if rules are broken and the citizens all live selfishly and to excess. Mandeville’s philosophy is often referred to by economists and sociologists.

Thanks to WEVAA for their support in producing this work.
