Great exhibition of the North

Last week saw the opening ceremony extraordinaire across Newcastle and Gateshead quaysides for the launch of the Great Exhibition of the North. The UK’s largest event in 2018 will provide a free, 80 day summer long celebration of the North of England’s pioneering spirit. A programme of amazing exhibits, displays of innovation, new artworks will deliver some unforgettable experiences and memories. I was tasked by Newcastle Gateshead Initiative to showcase the opening evening ceremony (which included live music, water fountains, light displays, aerial illuminated drones and fireworks) through a portfolio of WOW! images such as would not be captured by anyone else from the sane vantage point. Therein followed much advance planning, site reconnaissance and the trading in of a lot of favours in order to secure THE best seat in the house. As dusk fell I arrived on site with my very tallest pair of stepladders and as much photographic equipment as you could possibly place in a kitchen sink, should you so wish to. And for once, just this once, Mother Nature also decided to be in a sympathetic mood with a wonderful sunset followed by lovely starlight, starbright skies. A selection of images from the event can be seen below
