southmead..

Bristol was at the mercy of the worlds media the other day when Southmead a small area in the South West News area of town was featured on the BBCs Panorama show. It wasn't entirely positive..

Undercover reporters on the primetime show were subject to a racist attacks and abuse on the estate which led to a fair amount of media coverage for a small and ignored part of the city. I went down and shot it for a Dubai based paper which is definitely a new one on me when asked who I am working for by the locals. See the fallout from the story here at thenational.ae..

One step closer to the Tabasco kid. The final results for the Times Young Photographer get announced next week at the Canon Pro Photo Solutions expo at the business design centre in London.
