Daniel's Arabian Nights pic

This Saturday I’m heading to the Grant Bradley Gallery in Bristol. There’s an interesting photography event happening there from 10am till 4pm, and while I’m too shy to take part, I’d love to see what unfolds.

The man behind it is Daniel Moncur-Sime, a photographer I’ve been doing a bit of PR work for recently. He has a background in commercial and fashion photography, and is now branching out into art, capturing exuberant explosions of movement and colour with the help of models with backgrounds in ballet.

This Saturday he’s putting out an open call to anyone who fancies a chance to become part of the show – all you need to do is turn up with an imaginative outfit (anything from a clown costume to a fabulous gown to, erm, your PJs) and be prepared to move around for the camera.

I think Daniel’s hoping for some grace and elegance, but he’ll be happy anything with a bit of energy behind it. Juggling, dancing, hop-scotch and Moonwalking will all be welcomed – I have a hula hoop anyone’s welcome to borrow. Just don’t make me take part. As a writer I’m there as a voyeur, not a performer!
