PREMA in Uley are hosting an exhibition of work by photographer Sean Delahay this July.

Sean studied photography at Stroud College and photojournalism at the University of Gloucestershire. His creative journey may have begun here in the heart of Gloucestershire but his passion for documentary photography has taken him to Thailand, Laos and Cambodia as well as mainland Europe - touring and photographing the hardcore music scene and underground skateboarding.

In addition to the gritty urban scene, Sean’s work has also taken him to India to photograph endangered pygmy hogs on a project with the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust. Sean’s work blends his passion for travel, people and culture using a selection of images to tell the story of the people and communities he has meet throughout his travels.

His ‘one man and his camera’ approach to his work often captures a serendipitous moment of sheer beauty but more recently his work seems to reflect deeper social issues through a more compassionate humanitarian style of photography.

For his solo exhibition at Prema, the focus is on his most recent trip to document the lives of those affected by Super-Typhoon Haiyan (Or 'Yolanda'). This collection of images depicts the lives of those living on Bantayan Island on the northern tip of Cebu province, over which the eye of the storm passed, completely destroying 80% of infrastructure on the island.

Sean continues to travel the world documenting underground music. He also has a passion for video and expression through progressive imagery, and has directed still and video productions all over the world. The exhibition continues until August 2 and is free of charge.
