Snap up opportunities offered by award-winning photojournalist Tom Stoddart's Perspectives exhibition for high exposure
For £75,000.00 it will put its sponsor's identity at the heart of London for the seven-week duration of the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, at a prime site, adjacent to a designated broadcast media platform.
The exhibition's 100 signature black and white images will form a major retrospective of his finest work during a career spanning forty years. Perspectives chronicles Tom's hardhitting coverage of international news, conflicts and humanitarian crises, as well as subjects closer to home such as politics, people and the rich social diversity of British life.
One of the world's most respected photojournalists, Tom continues to produce campaigning photographic projects on serious world issues.
In July 1991 he travelled to Sarajevo to document the civil war that was engulfing Yugoslavia. This work was published worldwide. Returning a year later for The Sunday Times Magazine, Tom was seriously injured in heavy fighting around the Bosnian parliament buildings. After recovering, he produced a powerful feature on the aftermath of the Mississippi floods, followed by an award-wining photo-essay on the harsh regime for the training of Chinese Olympic Child Gymnasts.
In 1993 he returned to Sarajevo to report on the hardship of life in the city during a freezing winter under siege.
In 1997 Tony Blair gave Tom exclusive access for three months to document his election campaign. He was subsequently given exclusive access to Gordon Brown and David Cameron. Tom's acclaimed in-depth coverage of the HIV/AIDS pandemic in sub-Saharan Africa continues to be widely published and referenced in the international media.
Now established as one of the world's most respected photojournalists, Tom continues to produce campaigning photographic projects on serious world issues. More recently he has been travelling around his own country, capturing intimate moments and portraits that illustrate the diversity and character of Britain and its people.
Perspectives will be staged alongside City Hall - framed by the iconic Tower Bridge, HMS Belfast and 'Gherkin' building. The area will be the London hub of 2012 activity outside the Olympic Park. Energy is gathering there already among those aware of what is planned. Tom's last event there - iWitness, opened by Joanna Lumley for the DEC - attracted more than 300,000 visitors. This will be far exceeded during the Games.
£75,000.00 will secure exclusive sponsorship of a high quality photographic exhibition supported by video; creative design and project management; expertise of a top design, manufacture and installation team; and staff on site daily to greet and inform visitors and security. Partial sponsorship/partnership is an option.
The presence of large screens 200 metres from Perspectives, transmitting live coverage of the sports events, will also attract huge crowds. One of the thirty-five key Ambassador Pods will also be located on the site and adjacent to City Hall and will be used for entertaining VIP/celebrity guests.
"We would like the exhibition to be a collaborative project with an imaginative partner who shares our vision, although part/shared funding is a possibility. PR opportunities have been scoped".
