After the big September 21st birthday party extravaganza (click here for more information on that), Brighton’s monthly miniclick photography talks will return to normal service. We’re bringing some of the best photographers in the country to The Old Market in Brighton & Hove to talk about their work, in an informal setting, FOR FREE! The previous 12 speakers have all be great and the response from the audience has been ace. I’m very proud with what we’ve been able to do with them so far and we’ve built a foundation to get some really good names down in the next year.
Starting off, on Tues October 4th (7:30pm), with Brighton photographer Murray Ballard…
