Abstract:Here's a striking gallery of images which shows the Brighton & Hove seafront in all its moods.
Seasonal shifts, subtle changes of light, maritime flora and fauna, people at work and at play, half-hidden curiosities, piers, statues and beach huts - Richard Sayer's photographs, taken at all times of the day and at every time of the year, introduce us to a promenade by turns beautiful, quirky, human and elemental.
From the finely veined detail of a fig leaf to a little girl blissfully asleep in her carrier; from the drama of an electric storm to a swarm of starlings over the gaunt West Pier, these are compositions that will long stay in the memory.
Some of the sights will be familiar to us all, but many will surprise and delight even the most observant of Brightonians.
