An exhibition by photographer Guy Bellingham FRPS. Guy has spent the last three decades performing in circus and cabaret, over the past five years he has taken hundreds of portraits of fellow circus artists that he's met along the way. Using a huge 8x10 bellows camera and the mercurial wet plate collodion process he has captured; aerialists, knife-throwers, clowns, jugglers, sideshow artists and performers of all kinds. This is a rare chance to see a choice selection of prints of Bristol based circus artists from this ongoing project that has won both national and international awards.
