Photo of the week: Exactly 2 years ago, ‪#HRH the Queen‬ visited Harvey and Son ltd in ‪#Lewes‬ and I was hired to document the occasion. It was a huge privilege and also hugely stressful! For me, this photo captures the essence of how lonely her position of privilege might be. If you look carefully, you can see Prince Philip and the Head Brewer of Harvey's through the window.  http://www.carlottaluke.com/peop…/the-queens-visit-to-lewes/  #hrhthequeen #royalfamily #fridayfeelings #photooftheweek #lewes #harveysbrewery              (at Lewes Town)

Happy Friday! My photo of the week is from a visit to the studio of the artist Zaneta Belasicova, as part of a public art documentary. She has designed a beautiful stylised version of the #Newhaven skyline to go on the back window of the new town library. She had just received her test print and was lovingly examining it in detail. http://www.carlottaluke.com/current-projects/escc-transparent-project-commission/escc-transparent-project-artist-studio/ #artist #windowart #Newhaven #transparent #art #photooftheweek #photog (at Kentish Town, Nw5)

Some new photos from my Transparent Project. I went to photograph the artist Zaneta Belasicova at work in her studio as she put the finishing touches on her design for the Newhaven Library.  http://www.carlottaluke.com/current-projects/escc-transparent-project-commission/escc-transparent-project-artist-studio/  #Newhaven #transparent #artistatwork #windowart (at Kentish Town, Nw5)

Happy Friday one and all. For my photo of the week, a shot from my latest visit to the Depot Cinema: demolition man striking a pose for me. This one always makes me smile.  http://www.carlottaluke.com/architecture-and-restoration/the-depot-cinema-lewes/the-depot-cinema-lewes-14-10-2015/ #regeneration #architecture #photooftheweek #communitycinema #Lewes #photog #demolition #Sussex (at Lewes Town)

 have always had a tendency to photograph trees. For months I had been passing this dead tree standing high above a field hedge. Finally the right light was hitting it, strong and bright. Luckily I had my camera with me to capture the stark angular branches against the blue and white sky.  http://www.carlottaluke.com/landscapes/photo-of-the-week-sussex-landscape/ #landscapephotography #Sussex #trees #photooftheweek (at Plumpton, East Sussex)

Photo of the week: Giant at the Depot Cinema, Lewes. On my third visit documenting the renovation at the Depot Cinema site, demolition had started. I came across this man pulling up floor tiles, overseen by (being eaten by?) a giant.

Happy Friday everyone! This shot is my photo of the week because a print of this photo will be on display at the Artwave 2015 Awards evening. It harks back to February at the UTC@harbourside site. Luckily, the site looks nothing like this now! http://www.carlottaluke.com/architecture-and-renovation/photo-of-the-week-utc-harbourside/

Photo of the week: who's lookin' at you? I found the last colourful remnants of an industrial past at Harvey's Depot before the builders move in next week. I will be charting the building process as it becomes a new community cinema for Lewes in 2017. http://ow.ly/S4q91 #communitycinema #photog #architecture #lovelewes #sussex #documentary

I found the last remnants of an industrial past at Harvey's Depot before the builders move in next week - there was both beautiful colour and beautiful light. It will be a new community cinema for Lewes in 2017.  http://www.carlottaluke.com/architecture-and-restoration/the-depot-cinema-lewes/the-depot-cinema-lewes-08-09-2015/ #beautifullight #communitycinema #LoveLewes #Sussex #photog #documentary #Sussex  (at Lewes Town)

Photo of the week: Does anyone fancy a cuppa? I came upon this scene a year ago outside the village of Telscombe, where I had been photographing an organised cycle ride for the Lewes District Council. I have been thinking about this photo because I am heading back to that same part of the Downs on my bike next week. This time I will be in the role of photography teacher for a ride organised by the South Downs National Park. http://www.carlottaluke.com/landscapes/photo-of-the-week-fancy-a-cuppa/

Photos of a lovely workshop held in Newhaven as part of the ESCC Transparent project commissioning public art in Newhaven, Seaford and Hastings libraries. I have been documenting the process for the East Sussex County Council. http://www.carlottaluke.com/current-projects/escc-transparent-project-commission/escc-transparent-project-newhaven/

Lewes District's visual arts festival, Artwave, is on now. I was the graphic designer for the festival and coincidentally, my photograph was chosen by the District Council to grace the cover of the brochure and be used on all the branding materials. I am loving walking around Lewes and seeing my photograph everywhere.

Heading for an early morning walk today, we were surprised to find the beach shrouded in thick fog, since we had left a sunny, ordinary world behind us back at home. My mother's retreating figure gave structure and scale to the vague, mysterious landscape around us.
