Lincolnshire Echo photographer Ben Birchall is currently displaying some of his work at an exhibition in Hampshire.

Three of Ben's photographs, which show his perspective of "the workplace", are on show as part of an exhibition entitled Quite Refined, at the Beatrice Royal Gallery in Eastleigh, near Southampton until August 7.

The photographs were taken as a documentary for a project while Ben was studying press photography in Sheffield, and record images from an evening spent with South Yorkshire Police and the UCI Cinema in Sheffield.

Encouraged by his then college tutor, Ben entered a photography competition where judges asked him to include his pictures in the exhibition.

Ben said: "I am really pleased to have my pictures in this exhibition.

"It is especially gratifying that these were pictures taken on a course.

"And the fact that my tutor saw them and thought they were good enough to win a competition is particularly exciting.

"It's great to see your own pictures on display like this. I am happy with them and pleased with how things have gone."
