Wing Shya Opens the Vault for New 'Day / Night' Polaroid Collection
Summary When it comes to cinematic photography, Hong Kong-basedWing Shyais in a league of his own. It's a potential that caught the eye of oneWong Kar-waiwho, early on, enlisted him as his stills photographer. Since then, Shya has long been a defining force behind some of the most iconic imagery in contemporary cinema, with a signature that's become synonymous with the atmospheric, emotionally charged and delightfully sensual. In collaboration with Brighton-based publisherJane & Jeremy, Shya is releasingDay / Night, a new photobook featuring over 100 polaroids taken over the last three decades, weaving together personal snapshots, intimate portraits and rare, behind-the-scenes images from Wong Kar-wai classics, likeHappy TogetherandIn the Mood For Love. The book unfolds in two separate acts: first is grounded by the 'spontaneity in life' and a subtle, sunlit energy, while the second delves into more shadowed moods. A marriage of time and tone, together they capture the fleeting, poetic moments of everyday life. 'It all started with my work as a stills photographer on set. It was before everyone had a camera, so the only means of having a snapshot to instantly share had to be polaroids,' Shya described. 'Over the years, they have turned into this collection of 1000's of different instant moments. They might have been candid and lacking intentions, but I personally enjoyed looking at the compilation edited by J&J, which turns out to be a subconscious visual voice that has been speaking to me through my visuals the entire time.' Day / Nightis now available for purchase via Jane & Jeremy'swebsitefor £60.00 GBP.

Mod clothing exhibition set to open in Brighton
An exhibition celebrating the clothing of the mod youth culture in the 1960s is set to open in a city which has close connections with the In Crowd: Mod Fashion & Style 1958-66 opens at Brighton Museum on 10 May and features outfits designed by Mary Quant, John Stephen and the original Brighton-based mod brand Ben Sherman. The display is curated by Roger K Burton, an expert in vintage fashion, and features rare and early mod outfits drawn from his collection. Mr Burton, who has styled films including Brighton-based Quadrophenia and Absolute Beginners, said the exhibition was "a chance to step into the world of a transformative youth culture that left an indelible mark on fashion and society". He said: "The Mods rejected the 1950s, favouring sharp tailoring, bold colours, and a sense of modernity that captured the spirit of youth culture. "More than just a fashion statement, they embraced a fresh outlook on life, celebrating youth, freedom, and modernity in ways that continue to inspire today."The exhibition showcases the influential designers who defined the mod movement with sleek miniskirts, sharp suits, and crisp button-down shirts that embodied its forward-thinking spirit. "These garments were statements of individuality, rebellion, and modernity," said Mr Burton. Hedley Swain, chief executive of Brighton & Hove Museums, said: "This exhibition not only showcases the remarkable craftsmanship and innovation of mod fashion but also celebrates Brighton's unique historical connection to this influential youth movement."Founded in Brighton in 1963, Ben Sherman has become a symbol of sharp British style, favoured by the mod movement for its tailored designs and contemporary aesthetics. The heritage brand will present an "archival installation", Ben Sherman: The Decades, which will run alongside the main exhibition from 23 May.
