First Light represents the work of four photographers: Mark Nelson, Steve Parry, Ade Groom and John Lynch.
Whilst retaining their individual styles, the photographers have always worked together as a team in the production of the image collection. Through the stages of shooting and in-house printing, to presentation and exhibition in the gallery or on the web site, each print has been quality approved by the photographer who took the image.

ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPHERS
Situated in the heart of the famous 'Lanes' area of Brighton, on the English south coast, First Light have been running a successful photographic gallery for over 20 years. The First Light Gallery is on two levels, and invites private buyers and corporate clients to view the latest work available, shot in international locations. The fine-art laboratory produces in-house exhibition-quality photographs and portfolio prints from the work of four photographers:
Mark Nelson is a photographer and specialist printer, and also runs First Light with his partner Anna. His unique style has proved immensely popular, with his atmospheric coastlines and architecture amongst his best known work. He is also a musician and film-maker.
Steve Parry has worked for the Impact Photo Agency in London, with his work published regularly in The London Times, Observer and The Independent. First Light is now home to his fine-art photography and creative work, where his license to experiment has led to some unique and insightful imagery.
Ade Groom is another professional photographer to join the First Light collective. His professional background includes 'shooting' the World's most famous faces - from Madonna to Nelson Mandela. His work now excels in the figurative, as in his best selling 'Mermaids' and 'Blue Neon Nudes' series. He has also produced best-selling images of cultural landmarks.
John Lynch’s love of the countryside, wild animals and photography established him as a top wildlife photographer. Published internationally, John's work for the International Fund for Animal welfare was well known, and his intimate 'portraits' of fox cubs and badgers often graced magazine covers the world over. For first Light, John captured some beautiful natural scenes including landscapes, animals and flowers. We dedicate his image collection on this site to his fond memory.
