We start the weekend with a bang - 5,000 strong procession through ancient Lewes, before 4 bonfires to celebrate Guy Fawkes night. There's no bigger celebration anywhere.  

We meet up in Lewes before the town officially closes at 2pm, then get to grips with shooting reportage in low light. Towards dusk, the procession begins; there are seven bonfire societies, each with their own performance, from the fiery procession of the martyrs' crosses, to the race of burning tar barrels. Each a spectacle perfect for your camera - then it's the choice of 4 bonfires bigger than anything you've ever seen, before a world class firework display and party to round off the night.  

A lazy morning after our antics, with brunch in the North Laines, before we shoot some candid reportage of quirky Brighton.

Brighton has a fairly relaxed rhythm, so we'll brunch later after our Bonfire party antics, then try out some techniques in candid reportage, meandering through the myriad backstreets of the North Laines, looking for quirky subjects to shoot. After a late lunch, we'll head to the beach, and set up our positions for dusk, and shoot some fine art black and whites to end the days shooting. Later, we'll dine at one of the excellent Gastropubs, then take advantage of Brighton's varied nightlife and head out out for a night to remember with friends old and new. 

On our final day, we head inland to take a look at the beauty of the South Downs, and lunch in a 16th century Inn.

We'll have a quick twirl on the fairground at early light, to extend our street photography skills, then head inland to the underrated South Downs, getting some time in nature before heading back to work the next day. We'll have a final late Sunday lunch of ploughmans at a 16th century Inn, then have some final reviews of your work and say our farewells until next time!
