Brighton Dome Corn Exchange

This marks the second anniversary of my photo of the week. Please get in touch if there has been a favourite of yours over the past 85 photos that I have sent out. Just as two long projects finish (one year at Southover Grange and two years at the Depot Cinema), another very interesting one comes along. I am excited to be documenting the renovations of the magnificent, nationally-important Brighton Dome

Corn Exchange. Built in 1808 as a riding house by the Prince of Wales (later King George IV), it sits alongside the Dome (originally a vast stable block), and predates the adjacent Royal Pavilion by several years. I will be photographing the building work over the next 15 months the project will take to complete, so you will be seeing many more photos of this fascinating building.

Plasterboard pink vs winter blue

This week’s photo comes from The Depot Cinema in Lewes, where I am documenting the renovations of a former brewery depot as it becomes a community cinema. My clients use the photographs to keep local residents updated on the progress of the project and to build on the excitement of this eagerly awaited venue.

It always surprises me how much colour I come across on a building site. One might expect the predominant shades to be greys, browns and blacks. In fact, I find vivid colours to photograph at every stage of the process. This bubblegum-pink plasterboard is a good example, splashed with sun and offering an appealing contrast to the blue winter afternoon light. More photographs of this project can be found here.
