Telegraph

Dave — Wed, 19 May 2010 12:42:43 +0000

I know it’s been quiet here for a while now but over the past few months I’ve had some great success with the Thames Town work starting off with Lucy Davies of the Telegraph running the work as a feature in the Sunday Telegraph magazine, Seven on 28th February. It was an interesting edit actually which included a not seen before portrait I made of one of the security guards in his Buckingham palace inspired uniform.

Just a quick note really to make sure people are aware that I have given my website a complete overhaul. More changes are yet to come but for now have a look over on http://davewyatt.com and let me know what you think.

Xinghai Park

Dave — Tue, 27 May 2008 14:49:49 +0000

There’s a park here in Dalian that I like to visit to test out ideas, it’s called Xinghai Park. After almost a year since I picked up a film camera and about 3 1/2 since I shot anything serious on one I thought I would take my Mamiya 6 out for a spin before using it for some upcoming projects. I have posted 4 of my more successful efforts below. It was really weird having to wait for film to be developed again to see the images and not have the instant gratification of digital…

As always, all images ©Dave Wyatt so don’t steal them!!! Email me if you have a use for them and we’ll sort something out…

Thames Town -Recent article on Guardian Arts

Dave — Wed, 21 May 2008 12:04:42 +0000

Interesting recent take on Thames Town by Jonathan Glancey of the Guardian, scroll down to the last few paragraphs for the pertinent info. Despite being mostly empty, if i choose to focus on kitsch landscapes it could still serve well as a subject for the imagery… Also check out the audio slideshow for a bit of a multimedia take on Chinese modern architecture.

Thames Town

Dave — Wed, 21 May 2008 08:17:18 +0000

Located in Songjiang, about 30km from the centre of Shanghai, Thames Town is a new develpoment completed in 2006 and designed to offer a disctinctly English living experience to the Wealthy of Shanghai. The project includes detached housing, a church and even traditional fish and chips. This would be the ideal site to base my work focusing on the New Wealth and middle class within China as it combines both the traditional and highly recognisably image of English middleclassness with modern suburban China.

Russian Tourism in China

Dave — Wed, 21 May 2008 03:21:53 +0000

Every year hordes of Russians descend upon Dalian, Liaoning in North East China, for their Summer package holidays in a blitz reminiscent of the classic British tourists annually descending on Spain.

For this work I will aim to produce a narrative documentary following the experiences of these tourists and attempt to see how they compare to the classic image of British tourists
