An adventurous artist will focus on a day in the life of Bradford when he hits the streets for a fascinating 24-hour project.

Julian Flynn will snap one photograph every minute in a bid to create an insight into the city and its people.

The 38-year-old will be accompanied by a rota of volunteers for the creative endurance test next Sunday and hopes to capture a variety of district environments.

His finished work will go on display in Cartwright Hall next year for an exhibition which is backed by the Capital of Culture team.

Julian, pictured, who lives in Batley, said the idea is to experiment with chance in photography and taking it to the extreme.

He said: "It is a way of working that is completely opposite to the way I normally work. But I have found that the photos I take by accident seem to be the ones that work out as the most fascinating.

"I always take the view that anywhere is interesting if you look at it in the right view but Bradford is somewhere I come back to time and time again."

He will set off from Centenary Square at 7am and walk from the city centre, taking shots. He expects to get out as far as Haworth.

Each picture will be prompted by a bleeper and taken from waist level so the shots will not be staged.

The project is one of a series selected by The Culture Company for its Photography and New Media Comm-issions, which are supported by Bradford 2008 and are on the theme One Landscape Many Views.

Liza Dracup, 34, of Bingley has also received a commission to create a series of photographs looking at how nightfall changes our perception of the rural landscape in Bradford. And Simon Warner, a part-time photography lecturer at Keighley College, will set a video camera adrift in the Rivers Wharfe, Aire, Ouse and Skell, to capture a river's eye view of the landscape.

Culture Company artistic director Nicola Stephenson said: "It is invigorating to be in a position to highlight and support talented artists working with photography and new media in the region."
