V&A East and Hackney Canalside, London, August 2025
Black and white photo taken under a steel bridge (which takes up the top half of the image) on a canal tow path. In the bottom left quarter of the frame there is a silhouette of a woman cyclist. On the edge of the bottom right corner is a silhouette of the edge of a woman's hair and shoulder. A canal barge is in the distance on the other side of the canal. An elaborate man hole cover in a concrete floor. The steel has been cast in a pattern of two circular patterns intersected by a triangle. The original paint is now a cream colour but has flaked off revealing the steel which has rusted to a deep brown which complements the cream paint. The degradation of the pain also creates a second pattern within the pattern of the steel casting. Inside the V&A East Storehouse, the artefacts are stored on shelves and in cages. This is a store not a curated exhibition. This black and white photo features tailor's mannequins. All are white except one black one which dominates the composition. Most are bare but one has an ornate white woman's evening top on it. The centre mannequin has a woman's head which is quite lifelike. Inside the V&A East Storehouse, the artefacts are stored on shelves and in cages. This is a store not a curated exhibition. The walkways around the mezzanine floors are constructed of a fine galvanised steel mesh. In this photo, I have pointed the camera upwards to see the footprints of the people walking on the next floor up. Their bodies are only discernible as headless silhouettes. The mesh distorts out perception of them and makes them totally anonymous. When I first saw the thumbnail of this image on my PC, it appeared that the symmetrical lines of the mesh were swirly. This was not the case when I viewed the image at full resolution. But I liked the effect so much that I added a little 'twirl' effect in Photoshop.

Hardly any rain forecast all day on the Met Office radar map. Get there early though - it was like Piccadilly circus at 11.00 am when we went. Enjoy!

Two young people with tattoos sitting at a table . Their exposed skin is catches the sun against a dark background. The table and benches have crimson frames that stand out from the otherwise black and tan tones.

So it's the end of my Royal Academy Summer Exhibition adventure. It's been a privilege and a fascinating experience to have my photo exhibited this year. I've really enjoyed interacting with visitors, other exhibitors and the RA staff.

If you are in London before 17th August do drop into the RA!
