The Turner Prize 2013 React Campaign

For the first time in its history the Turner Prize was held this year out side London. Derry-Londonderry is 2013 City of Culture and was given the honour of hosting the prestigious prize. The React campaign, brainchild of advertising agency Kindred aimed to engage the people of Derry and further afield in contemporary art and to record their reactions. The resulting images formed a city dressing linking citizens of Ireland with the art that showcased in Derry. Seamus travelled for ten days around Ireland, North and South, in a specially converted campervan studio to record the reactions. To see more click here.

Here's a shot from a lovely day spent in the company of the charming and multi talented Derren Brown. His wonderful show Svengali returns to London in July. I've seen it, it's fab. If you need an antidote to the  Olympics, go and see Svengali.

Highlights

Had a moment this evening to review some of this year's Sunday Shoots. This portrait from January reminds me what a privilege it is to have an open public shoot each week.

Last Sunday's shoot was called The Seating Plan, ariel views of the public in my very basic set. A fun shoot with some lovely surprise guests. To see the project please click here.

Table Setting

Mrs Ryan and I bought this table back in 1990. Although the family have out grown it, I never had the heart to get rid of it. Yesterday's Sunday Shoot saw it back in action once more as visitors got to experience it's knotty charms in a table top portrait session. The project will be online from Wednesday. www.sundayshoots.com
