Florence Exhibition Ends

A lovely note from the organisers of the Wine Doors Exhibition in Florence, that ended last weekend.


the other day I dismantled the photographic exhibition at the Pergola.

Since last November 9, the day of the inauguration, thousands of people have passed during the shows and guided visits to the theater, and many have stopped to look at the beautiful photographs of Andrew and Robbin.

The people at the bar counter told me that the comments were very positive, many people complimented them, many signed and left a sentence on the guest book. Here is what I found on the last page:


"Niches, flashes of light, colours of time, sensations ... Sometimes the detail eludes us, sometimes the essential, fortunately there are those who manage to capture emotions."

These are words addressed to the two photographers, whom I thank for their availability and skill.

This initiative has certainly made known the wine holes to many people, showing them in a particular light: for the association, a good result.

Greetings to everyone

Wine Doors of Florence Exhibition

No time during the busy opening event to take any photos - thanks though to all that came, and to those that ordered prints. For those that couldnt attend (the exhibition runs until January 2020) below a selection of the hall before the arrival of everyone. The exhibition is at the Caffè Guido Guidi at the Teatro della Pergola, Florence.

Source Magazine

Source Magazine have selected a number of students from the Falmouth Flexible MA course for their showcase feature “Graduate Photography Online 2019. Source Magazine's showcase for emerging photographic talent from photography courses across the UK and Ireland”.

Alongside the fabulous work by the likes of Teresa Williams, Daniel Simon, Sarah Newton and others is a little highlight from my Wine Doors series

The Decisive Moment

The Documentary Group of the RPS has included a small write-up of my Wine Doors project in the latest issue of their magazine, the Decisive Moment. Also included are two of my MA course peers - Alexandra Prescott and Daniel Simon; both highly talented and creative individuals.

The Decisive Moment, published by the Royal Photographic Society - Documentary Group, is a quarterly journal that showcases the work of its members, shares insights and reviews about exhibitions related to the field of documentary photography and contains articles and interviews with prominent members of the photographic community.

Exhibition at the Wine Place, London

Very excited to be showing more of the Wine Doors of Florence project in two locations in London - the Wine Place wine bars in Covent Garden and Kensington. This is a collaborative display with Robbin Gheesling, a researcher into the provenance and history of these little historical remnants.

Set up for this long running display was yesterday… the white painted brick walls are the Covent Garden branch.

Exhibition Anchor/Showcase Images

Since the exhibition I have received a couple of queries regarding the two large prints displayed on the lectern and the kneeler. The square print, with is superbly detailed textures, was taken on Borgo Degli Albizi. It is available only in a limited edition run of 5 prints, one of which has been sold.

The atmospheric, sunbeam image, I have to admit to being a bit vague about its location. It is a highly regarding image but again only available in a limited edition run of 5 prints. Both available for £150 mounted but unframed. Please contact direct.

Folio Presentation Box

Limited to just 24 numbered boxes the Folio Presentation box is a bargain at just £100. For this you receive 24 prints (A4 size) plus a set of cards showing the location of each door, a little statement about the wine doors and, linking these historical remnants to the modern age, GPS coordinates.

Available to order direct

Many thanks to those you visited my little pop-up exhibition in St. Peter’s Church, Wallingford.

For those who didn’t make it to the exhibition the images that were displayed are shown here. Plus those that were available as a free postcard. Prints are available to order from PicFair.

The final edit of the photos is done. Those destined for the limited edition folio presentation box have also been finalised, mapped and recorded on the accompanying info sheets.

Work on the Easter Weekend exhibition is now underway with display issues to be resolved as the venue, an historic church, is protected building and cant be damaged in any form. Details on the Wine Doors of Florence page.
