‘Humour and nuance’: How a community paper created new narratives for a remote Welsh town
The paper’s considerably unlikely editors, Tony Flatman and Julian Meek, instantly caught Bruno’s consideration, and he quickly started documenting them and their publication in addition to the community they served. The photographer’s pictures from this time at the moment are on show in a new exhibition at Martin Parr Basis, Bristol, alongside archive supplies and a mock up of The Dynamic’s paper-strewn workplace. The present provides an intimate view of small town life, throughout a time of each political and cultural turmoil.
“What I’ll usually do is have an encounter with somebody, make the image I would like, give them my contact particulars and go,” Bruno says. By comparability, the photographer constructed a lasting relationship with Flatman and Meek, and this relationship got here with a degree of duty. “They’re fairly eccentric,” Bruno admits with a giggle, “so that you don’t need to take the piss. However on the identical time, you need to do one thing that’s acquired humour and nuance, just like the paper itself.”
