With the upcoming Brighton event around the corner, it seemed like a good idea to feature these Brighton Mod Bank Holiday 2019 photographs by John Coles.
This is a new selection of snaps from the August Bank Holiday event. You might recall I also featured some wonderful photos of the weekend by Chris Wild. Those are well worth checking out, as are these.
This selection of images focuses primarily on the scooter rideout rather than the people (you’ll see more people in the Chris Wild photos). But it’s nice to have a contrast and a different pair of eyes for the same event,
John Coles is a professional photographer from the Midlands and as you might have worked out from the photos here, mixes traditional photography work with shots of the local scooter scenes in the Coventry and Warwickshire area.
John has also sent some imagery over from previous years too, which I will again feature in time. But in the meantime, have a look at the ones here and perhaps see if you can spot anyone you know – or their scooters.
Big thanks to John and of course, if you have any photos past or present from anywhere that happen to be Mod-related, I would be happy to feature them. Just drop me a line.
