About

Anthony Bates is an award winning photographer. Anthony has a special interest in regeneration and will tell the story of the creation of his book which traces the remarkable transformation of London's South Bank from its post-war rebirth at the 1951 Festival of Britain to its status today as a world-leading cultural district. His book, 'Regeneration: 75 Years of London's South Bank', uncovers how bold vision, architecture, and the arts reshaped a once-neglected riverside into a thriving public realm. He will tell the story of why he was drawn to one of London's most fascinating and constantly changing places, and how photography became a way of documenting not just buildings, but the people who give those spaces life. Anthony will also share some of his street photography which he describes as noticing the extraordinary in the ordinary, He focuses on documenting people, urban environments and spontaneous events often with an emphasis on storytelling, atmosphere and the human condition revealing beauty, emotion or unexpected aspects of ordinary life.
