AMATEUR photographers from South Gloucestershire helped to capture 24 hours in the life of Bristol.

A team of more than 20 professional and amateur photographers joined forces on Saturday, August 19 to capture the city and its people, creating a visual library of what Bristol stands for in 2017.

The project, called A Day In The Life, documented the people and places that make cosmopolitan Bristol tick - from 24-hour party people to Saturday shoppers, sports fans, bikers and buskers to hen parties, street art and wildlife.

Award-winning street photographer Mark Waugh invited snappers from South Gloucestershire to join him in this unique social experiment.

Led by Mark, the photographers generated around 1,500 images from 2am Saturday, August 19 to 2am Sunday, August 20, documenting the length and breadth of Bristol, from the city centre to Clifton and Parkway to Temple Meads.

The resulting images brought to life everything from awkward altercations to friends hanging out and even a wedding, along with colourful communities and the alcohol-induced absurd.

Iconic locations photographed on the day included the Watershed, the Hippodrome, Colston Hall, Cabot Circus Shopping Centre, St James’ Park, Clifton Suspension Bridge, Bristol Harbour, Totterdown’s colourful houses and the Bearpit.

Mark's work has appeared in The Guardian, The Times and The Daily Mirror.

The full library of photos can now be viewed at: cartridgesave.co.uk/printwhatmatters/a-day-in-the-life-bristol

In the next stage of the project, A Day In The Life will be commissioning a local artist to print every photograph and transform the image catalogue into a piece of art, providing a permanent testimony of the day in history. Dates of the exhibition will be announced on: www.cartridgesave.co.uk/printwhatmatters/a-day-in-the-life-bristol

Inspired by the blog Humans Of New York, which has 7.2 million Instagram followers and 18 million Facebook followers, this definitive snapshot of Bristol is the idea of online ink cartridge company cartridgesave.co.uk

Ian Cowley, managing director of cartridgesave.co.uk, says: “Life is fast, nowhere more so than in cities. That’s what makes A Day In The Life so appealing - we’re taking moments in time and freezing them, one city at a time.”
