*NATHAN PRIEST

This zine was made through a collaborative project with Xander Lewis to sell at his screening of his short film ‘Reflections In Red’ on the 31st July 2025, at Rio Cinema in Dalston. Money raised through sales of the zine is going straight to ‘Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP)’. The film depicts “an elderly ex-athlete revisiting old memories whilst he packs to move to a new house”. 

The pages were made through physical manipulation of stills from the film, 
scanned in, and formatted by myself. The meticulously chosen stills are used to portray the narrative and act as a printed programme-style publication to focus on details that viewers might have missed. Limited copies were initially printed with 
a presale for more copies after the screening.

This publication is a collection of images taken from Google Street View of houses with special sentimental meaning to me throughout my hometown of Halesowen in Dudley. It acts as a reflection on my change of perspective of the West Midlands after three years living in London. I miss the accent, I miss the warmth of the people, I miss the battered chips (getting hungry just thinking about them...), and I miss my family.     

The publication works in two ways: one as a book, and two as posters. The book is made 
up of 11 sheets of A3 folded down to A5,
when unfolded they become double-sided posters (three in one).

Dedicated to Mom and Dad 

This book is a special collection of select photographs from the 60s to late 70s, in 
and around the town of Smethwick by my late Grandad Peter Horton that I found in my Nan’s cupboard. I unfortunately never got to meet him, but this exploration into his photo-graphy has shown me the kind of man he was, 
a loving Dad to my Mom and Uncle, a man that wanted to document their lives and his own, buying film and developing it with whatever money he had going spare.

Each page has the front and back of the scanned in 35mm photos, some blank, some with batch numbers of prints done at the devel-opers, some with written captions from my Nan.

This book is a compilation of 183 of the best photographs from a 6.6 kg box full of over 800 that I bought on eBay for only £3 (thanks Jan!). It explores the discarded memories of a life unseen and the ethics surrounding the use of found photos in design work.

The photos were taken between 1996-2001.

They are split up into 6 sections: Towers-Castles-Buildings, People, Mountains-Hills, Clocks, Vehicles, and Streets-Paths.

This publication is a collection of photo-graphs representing the feeling of not belonging in a professional working studio (imposter syndrome) through liminal, shadowy photographs of doorways and open areas in 
the Remakery Studio in Brixton. 

The handmade folder for the French folded A4 newsprint pages and filing clasp bound was 
produced to mimic the idea of it being an area under investigation, with the captions being the date and time of when the 35mm photographs were taken.

This animation is made up of individual riso-printed frames of the most important West Bromwich Albion goal that I have been alive to see, from Chris Brunt in the eighty-fifth minute against Southampton at home to help us win the Championship title in the 2007/08 season.

Based on the ’SPOT THE BALL’ prints, this was a test to see if it would work in animation format. Took a while to make, but it was worth it.

This is another animation that is made up 
of individual riso-printed frames of the ‘Battle of Bramall Lane’ in the 2001/02 English League Championship season, which 
was the first and only game in the English football leagues to be abandoned due to the lack of players fielded on the pitch after Sheffield United were shown three red cards and had two players leave the pitch due to injuries after they had ran out of their three substitutions.

“It’ll be interesting to see what the first challenge is like. Santos and Johnson now 
do collide, and it was a hefty challenge 
and I had been telling you about that little running battle that may be in the mind of George Santos, and would you believe it, George Santos has been sent off. It could 
be getting worse, tempers affray players 
are losing it…”

This publication is a published copy of 
my dissertation. Within it, I explore early forms of photo manipulation and hoaxing 
from the start of the camera’s life. I also discuss how the recent rise in AI image generation has made us forget that we haven’t ever (really) been able to trust photography, and how, when AI gets more advanced, we won’t be able to trust anything that we view online.

The size of the publication was a by-product of off-cuts from the paper that I used to create the ‘6.6 KG’ book, with a protective sleeve that also acts as the introduction to my writing.

These prints are in response to the ‘spot the ball’ competitions that football fans could find in newspapers going back as far as the early 1930s in Britain, and their seemingly impossible answers. Where could the ball be? And is this why no one has won since 2004?

Also, Alan Dein’s 2018 book ‘Face In The Crowd’, which compiled images of ‘the face 
in the crowd’ competitions that started in football match day programmes in the 1950s.

Each print was risographed, and A5 (14.8 x 21cm) copies are available to purchase for
£7 (Get in touch for more info).

These were shown in an exhibition at the LCC bar.
