Some photographers decide early on that that is their passion, others evolve and develop over time. JJ Waller tried out a variety of things before picking up a camera seriously and taking to the streets. HOT’s Lauris Morgan-Griffiths was delighted to learn that he is just publishing another book of his St Leonards and Hastings photographs: the characters, the Festivals, the town all with a kind eye and sense of fun.
Brighton-based photographer JJ Waller has been a regular visitor to Hastings and St Leonards over the last couple of decades and a founding contributor to Hastings Online Times. Below is a mash-up of some of his photographs of bikers and green people from this year’s Bank Holiday Monday.
Whilst the DFL Facebook page might be all of a flutter about whether Waitrose is moving to Hastings, JJ Waller has his heart set on a very different consumer outlet. Erica Smith visited Fat Sue’s Cornershop in Bulverhythe Road to see what documentary photographer JJ Waller has been up to in West St Leonards.
HOT’s Erica Smith was delighted when a review copy of JJ Waller’s latest documentary photography book dropped through the letterbox.
