A WELL-KNOWN Winchester photographer has closed his city centre shop/gallery to spend more time on the road.

Joe Low has been based on North Walls, and previously Stockbridge Road, for more than a decade.

But the shop shut at the weekend at the end of the lease.

Mr Low, a graduate of Winchester School of Art, who lives in Southampton, says he was too tied to the shop and wants to spend more time out and about.

He is well known in the city, covering events for groups such as Hyde 900 and working for the cathedral and many other businesses.

His photos can still be ordered from www.joelow.com.
