From the 8th to the 10th of April, Brighton welcomes its first ever craft beer festival and what could be better than beer and photography?

The results are beautiful. We spoke to Richard about the process of putting the publication together. Can you introduce us to Ante Meridiem? Ante Meridiem is a collaborative photographic work themed around morning time. The idea was […]
