Richard Battye is one of Birmingham’s veteran photographers. A few years ago he had a very successful exhibition ‘This is England’ which showed at 14 UK galleries from North Shields to Mayfair. He even took it out to Los Angeles and became a visiting lecturer with Kodak. Past clients include: The Arts Council, Land Rover, Harley Davidson, Gibson Guitars, BBC, Channel 4, and channel 5′s The Gadget show, where Richard is ‘their favourite photographer’.
He is now working on another project based around dance, but can’t come up with a title. He would like CiB readers to come up with a snappy title and the winning chosen title gets a signed print and invite to the private view when the exhibition launches.
The work is around dance and was shot in Birmingham, you can view working progress here.
Please put your ideas in the comments and remember to leave your email address (which won’t be shown). Good Luck!
How about “Movement Exposure”
we would really love to enter if we enter we would be doin hip hop or dance
It has to be…
‘Flash.Dance’
or how about
‘Amazing feets’
Then again I quite like
‘Steps beyond’
I’ll stop now.
Title suggestion: ART FOR MOTION

‘Captured and Exposed’
‘Moving Pictures’ – playing on the two meanings; movement and emotion.
‘Still: Dancing’ – another play on words as they’re static images of people who were in motion at the time.
‘Pause’ – as it looks as if you just stopped the music and they had to stay as they were. (‘Musical Statues’!?)
‘Danceography’
…Richard, your work is beautiful! my initial thougths are…
f-stop/f-step
moments in motion
motion-snap
clikstep
like baron’s suggestions too!
I have a winner for the dance exhibition title.
My thanks to all who posted suggestions but the
winner is Katie with Still:Dancing.
Simple, to the point…why didn’t I think of it!!
Sometimes it takes someone to step back and be
objective..I was too close to it.
Thanks for all of your entries guys! I think Katie Parry must be on a creative roll, winning the design competition and now this.
