Transcript

00:00Hi, my name's Innes Marlow. I'm a photographer and artist in Fairham. We're here in the shopping

00:21centre in the middle of Fairham where we've just launched the Fairham at 50 photo exhibition,

00:27which is my project to capture the borough through 50 individual pictures of people from

00:33all walks of life, various ages, different locations from all over the borough. You can

00:38see the pictures now. They're up on the walls here. You can also see them online. There's

00:42a QR code here so you can check out all the background information as well. It's been

00:47interesting. I've met some great people. I've met some lovely people. It's just been great

00:52for me as a Fairham resident and a Fairham artist to do something for my hometown. I'm

00:59pleased that so many people are coming to see it in Fairham. I wanted to demonstrate

01:02what an interesting place the borough actually is. We've got some extraordinary people who

01:07live here. Sometimes you think there's people with ordinary lives but everyone's got a story

01:12and I just wanted to tell that story through photography. One of the things that inspired

01:18this really is the fact that 40 years ago I started taking photos for the news. So this

01:24is full circle really to be in there again but on the other side of the camera. But this is

01:28perhaps just an extension of all those diary jobs that I did for so many years through the 80s,

01:3290s, into the 2000s in your newspaper.
