website IN FOCUS – Rob recommends:

Paul Russell

I came across this post on BBC news about street photographer Paul Russell’s interest in country shows which is particularly pertinent at the moment given the popularity of Wolsingham and Stanhope Shows with members;

I’ve been following his blog for some time now as I really like style. Paul Russell’s website can be found at http://www.paulrussell.info . Check out the “Country Show”.

Funnily enough I had emailed him just prior to Stanhope asking him about what kit he used. Refreshingly he seems to travel pretty light. He replied “I don't have that much gear - I use a Nikon 90 with a 18-90 kit lens (that came with the Nikon D70) and a Color Skopar Voigtlander 20mm. I try to get close, but sometimes it's a bit difficult at the country shows with barriers.”
