Calvert Avenue, off Shoreditch High Street, London E2 7JP

Blaize Simon is holding a photographic exhibition in Shoreditch which takes over an entire street for a whole month this summer and documents 10 years of Blaize's unique perspective.

It includes work taken on location, from Cuba to Nigeria, New York to London, all using his diagnostic eye to scrutinize the elusive relationship between artist and sitter that defines portrait photography.

Haiti73, which has previously worked with the Kemistry Gallery, is producing a show with a street party feel in collaboration with Rebecca Bateman, who will art direct and create the visual concepts to compliment Blaize Simon's work at his private view.

On Saturday 21st June, Blaize's Simon's Mobile Studio will be holding a special photo portrait session from 11am to 8pm. To book yourself in for a portrait session you are invited to register prior to the 21st by emailing Agnes Cazin, Prodhaiti73@yahoo.co.uk  or phoning her on 07809 569126.
