Hi everybody, this is a bit of a last minute request but here goes. In just under 4 weeks time I am organising an exhibition of car and motor racing photography and art near Petworth, West Sussex. We have a beautiful location with plenty of parking and a bar and a courtyard to display some special cars. Unfortunately one person has had to drop out last minute leaving space for one or maybe two more to take their place. I am therefore looking for another car or motorsport photographer - professional or amatuer - who would a) like to display a selection of their work to an appreciative audience and hopefully sell some of their work and b) be able to do this in such a short deadline.

The details are as follows - Tuesday 7th June for one night only starting at 6pm at Upwaltham Barns on the A285 near Petworth. Hire of the venue is £300 split between 4 or 5 of us. Each photographer arranges some press release in their local paper, hands out invites and maybe put up some posters to advertise the event. You would need to put together an interesting selection of car based photographs in your own style. These would need to be put up on dispay on the morning or afternoon of the 7th ready for the 6pm start. It would also probably help you if you are local to Sussex/Surrey/Hampshire - the location is ten minutes from Goodwood. And if it helps I haven't quite finished my own selection yet let alone printing them!

Currently I will be displaying closeup and artistic car photo's, Robert Clayson will be showing a selection of action photography and Nigel Faulkner will be exhibiting some large scale art works.
Last year I did a solo exhibition at the same venue and sold 22 prints and from that I can say that it can really work if you believe in what you do. If this sounds up your street then please email me through PH or via www.racinggreenphotography.com

As an aside we are also looking for some great cars to display alongside the a Brooklands racer and ex works Mini Cooper rally car in the courtyard. And finally Help for Heroes will be there on the night to raise money for this worthwhile cause. Thanks for looking.
