Páramo Directional Clothing Systems Press Release

‘Inner Visions’ – Insights into the wild worlds of the UK’s foremost outdoor photographers –

Páramo Directional Clothing Systems is pleased to announce a unique and exciting event to be held at Wadhurst, East Sussex on the evening of Saturday December 1st 2007. For the first time they are bringing together Andy Rouse and Joe Cornish, two of the UK’s finest outdoor photographers, for a dazzling evening’s entertainment and in-depth delve behind the thoughts and processes that go to make their outstanding work in their chosen fields of photographic expertise – wildlife and landscape respectively. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Aspira Fund, which is dedicated to supporting selected wildlife conservation, environmental and humanitarian projects world-wide.

United by a passion for the outdoor environment and the wildlife that lives within, Andy and Joe are enthusiastic supporters of the Páramo range of outdoor clothing, welcoming too the ethical and environmental stance of the company in its production. Appearing together to enjoy, critique and question each others’ internationally respected art forms, the evening promises to reveal some of the innermost thoughts and feelings about their work, together with a healthy amount of cheerful banter thrown in! These two very diverse characters are likely to produce some lively repartee, with a genuine appeal to all with an interest in the natural world.

The Photographers

Andy Rouse
With an international reputation for creating some of the most exciting and memorable images of the natural world, Andy Rouse has nurtured his professional photographic talent alongside a passion for wild things for well over a decade. Building a reputation on getting new views of some of the world’s most fascinating and thrilling wildlife, he hopes that his work fosters a respect and compassion within us all for the creatures we share our world with. A larger than life character himself, Andy is an inspiration to many as demonstrated by the success of his books, photographic expeditions, workshops and talks which are regular sell-outs.

Joe Cornish
An insuppressible sense of wanderlust led Joe Cornish into a career in travel photography which took him all over the globe, culminating in contributions to over thirty travel books. From wilderness expeditions to photographing some of the UK’s most wild and windswept places, Joe’s home in North Yorkshire provides much of his inspiration for the stunning and atmospheric imagery that has become his signature work. With a style that accurately and poignantly reflects the wild landscapes that surround us in the UK and further afield, Joe’s images serve to remind us of the moods of the wider environment and their fragility in the modern world. His expertise is readily accessible through his prolific contributions to the UK’s photographic press as well as in person during his regular talks and photographic workshops around the country with companies such as Light and Land.

The event
‘Inner Visions’ will take place at 6pm (for a 6.30pm start) on Saturday December 1st in Uplands Hall in Wadhurst, East Sussex, Páramo’s ‘home town’. It will be introduced by Nick Brown, Páramo’s MD and a keen environmentalist. There are just 300 tickets available for this evening. Tickets are on sale from Páramo for £12 in advance (£15 on the door), or £10 for groups of 10+. Ring Páramo on 01892786446 or email [email protected].  Both photographers have recently produced brand new 2008 art wall calendars which will be on sale after the event.
