AN AMATEUR photographer from Erith is aiming to show the town in a whole new light in his forthcoming exhibition.

Justin Bailey, 35, of Manor Road, Erith, began taking photography seriously on a trip to South Africa in 2004 and went digital in 2007.

His exhibition, Eye to Eye, being staged next month at the new Erith library in the High Street will show 30 of his photographs, both in black and white and in colour.

Although his photographic career has been short, Mr Bailey has already work used by the BBC on its news magazine website’s Unsung Views feature, and in National Geographic.

Other photos on show will depict Mr Bailey’s interest in transport and travel and many of the photographs will be for sale.

The exhibition will run from November 2 until November 14.
