Cromer Carnival / Photojournalism

Miss Cromer 2005 Leane Abery

Cromer stages one of the biggest and most spectacular Carnivals in the UK. This year I attended the crowning ceremony of Leane Abery, Miss Cromer 2005 to capture some images for the Greek and International press in London. My aim was to snap up some key moments and feature some of the main characters that work behind the scenes to make this such a successful event. One person in perticular that was under the Amber Photography lens was long term official photographer for Cromer Carnival, Eric Brickles, Here are some prolific shots of the amazing Eric at work together with some fly on the wall photographs that conjure up the mood for the day. The drama was heightened when the crowning venue at the Cromer Pier Forecourt had to be switched at the last minute due to bad weather. It was all hands on deck as Cromer Pavilion staff moved in to divert crowds inside the Theatre (Home to the world famous Cromer Seaside Special) The day was packed with celebrities including Anglia Televisions Kevin Piper that was to perform the crowning. Kevin's a Norfolk man born and bred in Norwich who began his journalistic career with the Eastern Daily Press and Evening News before turning to broadcasting. He Joined Radio Broadland when it was launched in 1987 then moved to Anglia as head of sport, where he toured the world as ITV's Formula 1 production team. He now fronts the Anglia Tonight programme with co presenter Clare Weller. Here Kevin is seen as never before in some rare Amber Photography reportage photographs.
