On 14th May 2008, the Guyana High Commission in London's Notting Hill was buzzing with activity as around a hundred Guyanese, including the High Commissioner, His Excellency Mr. Laleshwar Singh, flocked to see an exhibition of photo-art of this beautiful country, captured by British travel photographer Ian Brierley. Ian's canvas prints of his unique photo-paintings brought out the subtle, elegant, and captivating hues that accentuate his Guyanese photography. [expand story >>>]
Looks of nostalgia on visitors' faces showed that Ian’s wish to stimulate memories in the Guyanese diaspora was fulfilled. The High Commissioner was extremely impressed with Ian’s body of work of over 3000 images of this exotic country, and expressed his intention to use some of it to help promote tourism in Guyana.

(This exhibition also marked the official launch of Zoom Airlines weekly direct flights from London to Guyana – the first regular route of this kind so far. Ian Brierley will be presenting a workshop on Travel & Tourism photography at the www.photomart.co.uk Summer Show in London on 18 June 2008.)
