In this, her first photographic exhibition, Manches’ work highlights the beauty of the female through the striking contrast between shadow and light.

The female body is presented in its natural state with light accentuating its form, shape and substance. The images are soft and fluid, suggested rather than defined. These photographs evoke sensuality through subtlety providing the viewer a glimpse into a private moment in time.

Manches studied art and design at Goldsmith’s College. As an illustrator, designer, art teacher, sculptor and photographer, she has gained exposure through a variety of artistic outlets. Manches lives and works in Surrey. www.corinnemanches.co.uk

Since he first attended the Lisbon Jazz Festival in 1971, Tim Motion has built an unrivalled reputation as a jazz photographer after opening a club that brought him into contact with the members of the legendary ‘Newport All‐Stars’ who defined the genre.

“The images in this exhibition represent a selection from almost four decades in jazz photography for me, and what a time that has been. The photographs reflect a real labour of love, capturing the great musicians that I have been lucky enough to watch perform, and I am very pleased to have them on display at the Richard Young Gallery. These pictures fuse my passion for jazz music and photography, and through capturing the undeniably great performers portrayed here, strengthens my love of both. Music is, of course, something that cannot be photographed, but with these images I have sought to provide a glimpse of the magic and personality that jazz is so famous for.”

“Karim Fayed, son of Harrods Chairman Mohamed Al Fayed, has shown a strong commitment to and passion for photography since he received his first camera as a young child. These stunning panoramic landscapes aim to capture the essence and purity inherent in each unique environment presented to the viewer.

Karim’s travels have taken him to many far-reaching destinations including the Scottish highlands and the American deserts, the frozen Norwegian wilderness, Iceland, Brazil and the coasts of South Africa. This exhibition presents a glimpse into the experience of witnessing first-hand the overwhelming beauty of the natural world.”

“I’ve always had an affinity with nature from an early age – I love standing in the middle of the countryside, with nothing to distract me, just the sound of the wind. It’s in that environment that I am able to take photographs that I like.”
