A pinhole image from 6 years ago in South Gare. I think this hut has been repaired since and has lost some of its photographic appeal.

Nothing better than waking up on a Sunday morning to find out one of my images had had an honourable mention in the 2024 Monochrome Awards. Especially when it’s an image from my home town. #Rokerpier #Sunderland #Monochromeawards

We are now SOLD OUT!! I’m very proud of what we have all achieved. It all came together in a fabulous book that doesn’t look out of place on any bookshelf. We haven’t had all the costs in yet, but it looks like we’ll have about £1400 to send to Paper Cup Project as well. @paulgotts.bsky.social

As the car just failed its MOT in a surprisingly expensive way, may I humbly proffer my two photobooks for your consideration. www.finnhopson.com/photobooks These are probably the only two Christmas presents you need.
The cover of my book 'Woodwork'. A hoar frosted birch tree in a dense woodland full of birch and bracken.A double page spread from 'Woodwork. Two pictures taken on a very frosty day in a messy wood near Brighton. Both pictures are full of lovely little fine details of branches covered in hard frost. The colours are very muted and it feels cold. The cover of my book 'Fieldwork'. Two fields with chalky soil and the patchiest of new crop beginning to show through. Orderly plough lines roll down the larger field. At the top of the smaller field is a rather pleasing little collection of trees on the skyline. Two pages from my book 'Fieldwork'. Both images are very simple, just a thin green line of grass across an expanse of empty chalky field. One picture has a small figure of a person walking from left to right along the line, the other has a group of crows nearby, probably to no good.
