Traders are the heart, soul and backbone of our high streets. Their shops provide a focus for community, a friendly face and in hard times a helping hand. This project recognises the personalities and services we rely on and which add to the layers of history already laid down with Gloucester Road as the Great Bristol High Street. Following a single first photo post on social media, dozens of people who run, or know people who run, indie businesses have come forward to tell Colin their stories. Now a major project promoted by Visit Bristol and Destination Bristol, this project tells the community story of local heroes and showcases Bristol’s indie spirit to a wider field.
COLIN MOODY is a street photographer, artist and journalist who has been photographing Bristol and its people since moving there in 2009 and his fascination with the city never dwindles. He takes photographs that have been described as finding ‘the extraordinary in the ordinary, Colin zeroes in on the individual in a crowd, and finds humour and warmth in the everyday’ (Bristol Life Magazine, October 2017). Colin is also a TV and radio presenter who currently presents weekly on BCfm One Love Brekky and monthly on BBC Radio Bristol (and Somerset).
