Homer Sykes

Born in Vancouver, Canada, Homer Sykes has spent the last twenty five years inexorably becoming one of the foremost recorders of the British scene. He has published six books on Britain being more or less in complete control as far as researching, writing and editing were concerned. While never feeling that it was necessary to go to the other side of the world to take great pictures, he has photographed just about everywhere and his great unpublished book ‘Life’s a Beach’, photographs of sun, sand, blue skies and great hotels, which will one day be commissioned is our loss!! Once a Year - traditional British customs 1977, The English Season 1987, Mysterious Britain 1993, The Storm is Passing Over, with Roy Kerridge 1995, and his latest Celtic Britain 1997, and The Village Pub, have kept his distinctive images in front of a wide audience. Exhibitions include Traditional British Calendar Customs at the Arnolfini Bristol in 1977, A British Eye on the World, MOMA, Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, and The English Season, South Bank Gallery, London. On-going editorial clients include The Sunday Times Magazine, The Observer Magazine and Newsweek, whilst Brittany Ferries, The National Heritage Lottery Fund, Bass Ale and Jaguar Japan are amongst his corporate clients. He has lectured at L.C.P. and Newport College of Art and held workshops with Jorge Lewinski and Mayotte Magnus in London. He is a member of Network Photographers and is currently working on a long-term project in America.

Workshop History

Working with one of the foremost recorders of the British scene. A Network photographer who has shaped photographic reportage over the last 25 years.

Wary of the term "art photography", but not averse to photography being considered as art, Homer’s practical approach to photography stimulates ideas and encourages students to see them through to fruition. Working with Homer in ‘People and Landscape’ situations, both in colour and black and white, students will be stimulated to find interesting subject matter, and shown how he approaches the subject. Advising and making suggestions often means helping students to see, rather than just look. Assistance with camera techniques, print critiques and planning imaginary (and imaginative!) photographic magazine stories will be included in this workshop.
