KUR!O event in DAS showroom

Last night DAS and CBS, in association with Blueprint, held a KUR!O photography event in the DAS showroom, which proved to be a huge success.

Those who attended were entertained with a very interesting and thought-provoking presentation by leading Interior and Architectural photographer, Chris Gascoigne.

Chris gave an inspiring talk about his work and how he has developed his stunning photographs over the years. What the audience found particularly interesting was the frank way Chris described the benefits and indeed hindrances that modern digital photography can have on his subject in comparison to the traditional film photography he learnt growing up.

Chris then gave a brief to the audience, who each set out newly-inspired to capture an impressive architectural shot within a tight 30 minute deadline! He encouraged them to give every photograph that little bit of extra time and thought and to look further into the subject they were framing. The challenge was to find a letter of the alphabet in every shot.

Some amazing imagery was found around the Appold Street showroom which resulted in both stunning and creative photography Chris was thoroughly impressed with the talent demonstrated.

Anna Shaw from AES Architects took the winning picture and won a Nikon P500 camera.
