Who is Sly Panda?
Freelance Photographer
In 2008 Simon Carter (b.1990) borrowed a small loan and bought a car and a camera.
From 2009-2013 he studied photography at Plymouth College of Art. He experimented with the properties of light and became fascinated by cameras. He spent all his money on film and petrol and set out to explore, document and create. Using a cocktail of analogue and digital techniques the artists name evolved to Sly Panda. "Sly" because he was sneaky when taking photographs, and "Panda" because he has a Enjoi (skateboard brand) tattoo.
Sly Panda graduated with a 2:1 and been featured in numerous publications in print and online including Saatchi Art, DIYnamite, Lamono Magazine, Hard Magazine, 121clicks and Süddeutsche Zeitung. He has participated in exhibitions around Wales, London and Plymouth and is currently based in his hometown of Cardiff.
