Brighton seafront photography free public exhibition

Created in collaboration with Sussex Wildlife Trust, Wayforward Brighton and Locate Productions, the exhibition rethinks how nature photography is experienced in public space.

Moving beyond traditional formats, it brings together nine curated cultural themes, each offering a different lens on the rich and often overlooked ecosystems along the Sussex coast.

The exhibition invites audiences to connect more deeply with this marine life, not as something distant or abstract, but as part of a shared, local environment.

Featuring photography from a collective of leading underwater image-makers, including Paul Naylor, Piers Fearick, Alexander Mustard, Caroline Weir and more, Secrets Beneath the Sea offers a rare glimpse into the biodiversity thriving just beyond the shoreline.

Installed at the Seafront Gallery pillars in front of the Brighton Photography Gallery & next to the i360, the exhibition is free and open to the public from Monday 15 June to Sunday 19 July.

Join us at the launch event on Thursday 18th June 17:00-20:00. RSVP via the link provided.
