We are pleased to announce our December 'First Tuesdays' event, and the last one of the year! The event this month is hosted by acclaimed photographer and filmmaker Dean Chalkley, well-known for 'Return of the Rudeboy', the collaboration between himself and Harris Elliott.

On the evening, Dean will be in conversation with Stephanie McLaren-Neckles, co-founder of Let's Be Brief (LBB), a platform that bridges the gap between culture & business for creative entrepreneurs and community. They create content and events to both upskill & champion creative entrepreneurs.

In the photographic industry today, there is a constant debate around the topic of commercial work versus personal work. As an image-maker who has had, and carries on to have, great success from his personal work, Dean and Stephanie will also be speaking on this subject and providing some insight into what it takes to achieve this over and over again.

They will look in depth at Dean's varied creative career and his numerous explorations into culture and subcultures, from Banger Racing to Northern Soul, his hugely successful project 'Return of the Rudeboy' which was exhibited at Somerset House as well as his upcoming show 'Never Turn Back' (#NTB_Show). Towards the end of the evening, a question and answer session will be held with both Dean and Stephanie.

The 'Return of the Rudeboy' book will also be available to buy on the night.

Join us on Tuesday 1st December from 7.30pm for this event that's not to be missed!

Be sure to turn up early as seating is limited - refreshments will be available and admission is, as always, free. Book soon to avoid disappointment, as spaces are limited!

We look forward to seeing you there.
