Julian is a Nottingham-based artist whose practice investigates place, its history, geology, the people who inhabit it and the stories these tell. He documents his work through photographs, text and film. He also works as a photographer for theatre makers, architects, and designers as well as collaborating on creative projects.  

The course – which runs from 27 October-17 November – will teach attendees the skills and techniques required for street photography.
