Testimonials & Feedback

Below are just a few of the comments that I've received from clients, fellow artists, private art buyers, work colleagues and internet bloggers.

“It was a pleasure working with Yann over the eighteen months that we were involved together in the ‘Bloomfield Talks’ project in Blackpool. Yann’s deep curiosity about and love for his subjects is matched by his creativity and technical skill. His photographs are quietly revealing and true. His images don’t need to shout, when they can whisper – they are persuasive. I look forward to working with him again in future.”
Simon Grennan (Grennan & Sperandio)

"Hi Yannick, I just wanted to say how pleased and delighted we were with your artist residency at the Nalgao Conference in Blackpool in 2008. As well as helping us to document the event, you captured the atmosphere perfectly. The photographs you produced are a lasting memory to what was one of the best events we have organised to date and I have no hesitation in recommending you as a very creative documentary photographer. I wish you all the best for what I know will be an increasingly productive future!"
Pete Bryan (Nalgao Administrator)

"I love the photos. Especially the one of the lady eating the cake with the single green balloon, and also the first one which looks quite surreal with all the coloured balloons and the single seated lady. The NALGAO conference ones are superb as well. The architecture again really makes for some surreal shots."
Colette Halstead (Creative Development Co-ordinator For Blackpool Illuminations)

"Hi Yannick, I have just been to a meeting at the Blackpool Cardiac Unit for the contract to put art in the building and used your work as an example. I took your piece in with me - they loved it. I showed them two more of your images and they loved them too!"
Viv Parr Burman (Artist And Co-Founder Of Artcite)

"Just to let you know that we had a selection panel meeting at Salford university on Friday and a group of over 20 staff looked through over 200 pieces of artwork to consider for the exhibition. I’m pleased to let you know that your work went down a storm and overall was one of the highest scored in the selection."
Katja Ogrin (Visual Administration Manager)

"Hello Yannick, I just wanted to notify you that one of your projects was just featured on www.photographyserved.com, one of Behance's "Served" sites that we developed to further showcase the best projects in the Behance Network within specific industries. Our editorial team features a small number of projects every day. With many thousands of options, we only pick a few that promote new thinking in the industry."
Oscar Ramos Orozco (Behance Network)

"My name is Mareike and I'm part of the art platform ARTISLA. We're quite young but ambitious. I found you and your art on the Behance website and liked it a lot! It's creative, inspiring and shows a lot of talent. I really would like you to become a new artist on our website, because you match perfectly with what we are looking for."
Mareike Müller (ARTISLA)

"This is why I do this. I call for submissions, I wait, I receive them in big wods, loads at a time. I spend a couple of days going through them. I get excited going to the links. It's great when I see some good photography I've not seen before. Which brings me neatly to Yannick Dixon, scratching away at Blackpool to get under the surface."
Mark Page (Manchester Photography Blog)

"Yannick's work encapsulated what This Working Life is all about, producing reflective, evocative and inspirational images of daily working life."
Rob Pendleton (LDC Spokesman)

"Thanks for the photograph! It’s great; I love it!"
Claire Barlow (Regional Manager for Arts & Business North)

"Yannick, your picture has pride of place above the chaise longue, and looks great!!! Thank you!!"
