ROCKET & ROCK FORMATION FROM THE SERIES ‘HEIMR’ – MATTHEW BROADHEAD
Following a month-long exhibition at the University of Brighton Gallery, we now present a selection of the best graduate photography talent of 2016 from across the UK.
Matthew Broadhead (University of Brighton) – In 1965 and 1967 NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey organised field trips to Iceland for American astronauts to learn geology in locations with assumed past or present geological, environmental or biological conditions similar to those on the Moon or Mars, provided astronauts with the means to apply their practical knowledge of geology to validate their findings on the moon.
UNTITLED 26 & 34 FROM THE SERIES ‘34 PHOTOGRAPHS - NIGEL MAYNARD
Nigel Maynard (Falmouth University) – In ‘34 Photographs’, Maynard demonstrates his chosen photographic pathway, one that has escaped from the real world, producing images that have turned towards varying degrees of abstraction, journeys into form. The images are inspired by rich hues, shapes, lines, the play and variation of light and, also notions of balance.
UNTITLED, FROM THE SERIES ‘LIGHT UP: DESIRE’, 2016 – WAI LAP MOK
Wai Lap Mok (Middlesex University) - Travelling across ten cities in Asia, Light Up is an autobiographical project, in which Mok explores how photography can document not only the subject but also the qualities and shadows that are hiding in the photographer’s subconscious, capturing moments that reflect her own spontaneous insight.

BIEUNG – YOUNG-JIN CHOI
Young-Jin Choi, was born in 1965 in the southern coastal area of Jeollanam-do province in South Korea. Choi began taking photographs in high school, but his interest in photography took off during early 2004 when the South Korean government began the development of the Saemangeum Seawall project.
BIEUNG – YOUNG-JIN CHOI
Having grown up by the beautiful tidal flats on the southern coast of Korea, nature was an important source of inspiration and artistic creativity for Choi. Prior to the completion of Seawall project in April 2006, many activists and environmentalists fought a long battle with the government to try and stop the Seawall Project expanding the mud fields and turning them into agriculture and industrial land, which has proved to have a devastating effect on the habitat of migratory birds and sea creatures.
MANGYOUNG – YOUNG-JIN CHOI
Young-Jin Choi spent 3 years documenting this environmental disaster, despite constant government intervention against the project. The final series, ‘West Sea of Korea’, has become one of Choi’s most critically acclaimed and highly-regarded projects. Choi has become increasingly celebrated for documenting nature in raw, uncompromising and powerful images, allowing the natural world to speak for itself. He has had several books published on his work in Korea, including one of ‘West Sea of Korea’ series. In 2009 he was awarded the High Commendation for the Prix Pictet Prize.
