Burnham-On-Sea art gallery puts top Somerset photographers in focus

Stunning landscapes and breathtaking scenes of wildlife are on show at a new photography exhibition that has just opened in Burnham-On-Sea this week.

The exhibition at Seabreeze Gallery in Victoria Street features landscape, flora and fauna photographs by Tony Howell plus landscape and wildlife photographs by James Flynn.

Tony Howell is one of England's best-known landscape photographers, and is
based in Somerset.

His style is instantly recognisable - simple, uncluttered compositions and an overall sense of peace and stillness borne out of his deep love of the land. His images have been used in countless books, calendars, magazines and more. His clients include the BBC, Christies, Royal Mail, The Tate and The National Trust.

"For this exhibition he brings together a collection of his favourite landscape photographs. Large and medium sized pieces of West Country imagery plus flowers. Some printed on photo paper, some canvas and one printed onto acrylic," the gallery's Rhonda Mills told Burnham-On-Sea.com.

James Flynn's interest in natural history initially led to him using photography to record his observations. His enthusiasm for the medium and the effects of light on his subjects at different times of the day have led him to achieve a broad portfolio of images of the British Landscape and its wildlife. This exhibition shows samples of his work that characterize the style and quality of his artwork.

Opening hours are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 10am- 5.30pm, Wednesday 10am-2pm, and Saturday 10am-3pm. The exhibition can be seen up to and including Saturday 29th November 2008.
