Whilst creating the cover of Scene Magazine’s summer issue for Pride Month (see post here), I also shot this amazing ‘Pride at the Pavilion’ portrait of Brighton Royalty.
Brighton’s Royal Pavilion is unlike any other building in Britain. Built for pleasure, designed for spectacle, and dripping in a flamboyance that polite society could barely contain, it has always been a place where the rules bend and the extraordinary feels ordinary. Its domed silhouette and gilt interiors weren’t built for subtlety – they were built to dazzle. That spirit hasn’t dimmed. If Pride is about visibility, self-expression, and refusing to apologise for who you are, then the Pavilion isn’t just a beautiful backdrop. It’s a kindred spirit. There is nowhere more fitting to raise a glass and begin.
This is what the cover and double page spread looks like in print:
