Bristol Jazz Photography - Walter Dirks - Jonny Bruce
The exhibition is up and running!
In May 2012, I had an exhibition of my landscape photography at The Glass Room gallery at The Colston Hall. It was a joint showing with my friend Sheona Beaumont (now a celebrity of One Born Every Minute ! ). The exhibition was aimed to coincide with The Bristol Festival of Photography which runs annually in the month of May and it was well received.
This year I decided to have an exhibition in my local and favourite coffee shop...Rubicon, Chandos Road, Bristol as part of the BFOP. Over the last couple of years I have built up a library of photographs which reflect the thriving Bristol jazz scene. I was one of the official photographers at the Bristol International Jazz and Blues Festival 2014 and was thrilled to get many photographs that I really like. David Redfern (famous jazz photographer) had an exhibition of his work at the jazz festival and it sowed the seeds for me to do "Bristol Jazz Photography" ...photographs of jazz performed in Bristol.

Although space is somewhat limited at Rubicon I will make sure to include as many local people as possible...this may take the form of some montages. A more comprehensive book is also on the way .... printed and also hopefully as an available to buy ebook.
The exhibition will run from May 1st -31st each day from 8am - 6pm and I will post some more information and links as they become available.
