York Art Gallery opens doors to mass public graffiti event before major renovation

A line of children reach up the draw on the walls at York Art Gallery.

Yesterday was a shift for the Press Association, working at York Art Gallery. The gallery was open for one special day where visitors and artists were invited to daub the walls with graffiti. It was a fantastic event and I’ve never seen the gallery so busy. After working and sending my photos, I stuck around to play around with lighting and got creative to make the most of an otherwise quiet news day. Here are some of my favourite images from the day.

Off camera strobes attached to Pocked Wizard and CTO gels were used. The images were shot in RAW (to fine tune white balance to achieve a natural final product). The flash colour balance was dialled (with gels) to use the spot lights in the gallery to my advantage. Other than that I remained patient and kept my eyes open for opportunities to add a bit of aesthetic order to the chaos of a great event.

More images from the day can be seen on my photo archive here:

About Jonathan Pow

For the past 10 years I’ve been a professional photographer. Working for high end clients: from bespoke manufacturers, to clothing designers, national newspapers and international publications.

I’m obsessive about photography. Getting things aesthetically pleasing as well as capturing the right moment. It’s that combination that can often make the world of visual difference.
