Margate Beach


This photograph of Margate beach was taken with a Leica D-Lux 5 digital camera. I hope to take the same shot in the next week or so, weather permitting, with a Fuji GW670II 120 format film camera.

The Flow and the Pause...

Dreamland - Visual Research (2010)



Dreamland from Shaun Madden on Vimeo.

I'm not sure if I ever linked to this before. Sound is not synchronised too well and volume needs to be loud to hear the opening words and also the heart-beats near the end. However the song is then too loud! Quite a lot of work at the time...

A New Season - Documenting the Real




A New Season explores the inter-connectivity between preparing for a new season at an English seaside resort and my documenting of the days of my project at the English seaside. i decided to differentiate between the two elements by using alternating colour and black & white photographs. The sound was recorded on the trip and edited to suit the slideshow.

The Education of a Photographer (2006)


"...it quickly became crystal clear that while photography students had a wealth of material on the technique, technology, history, and theory of photography, there was surfeit of inspirational and informative material on what it means to be a photographer." (Steven Heller).
