EXHIBITION PREVIEW: Renata Stonyte

Photography is my key to the dream and fantasy world, my way to rabbit hole where imagination merges with the real world. Everything I see, feel and experience inspires me. My pictures usually come from a contact with things at that time and place taking and to how I respond to all of these things. I rarely pre-visualise or plan how my final print will look. My work tends to focus on fashion, portraiture and travel photography where I can transfer my aesthetic value and beauty of life into images.


EXHIBITION PREVIEW: Julia Tucker

"Through out the last year my work has been based around both documentary and portrait photography, trying to combine the two to create real and honest portraits and go against the stereotypical image of a portrait photograph. Trying to find out if it is possible to know who a person really is through a single photograph."



EXHIBITION PREVIEW: Daniel Khammo

Capturing  what's in front of me keeps me taking photos, it's what I've always done & is the reason I'm at University.  But how do you capture a feeling?
Anxiety can manifest in so many ways - it can feel inescapable.  This series of images portrays the fading of minutes, hours & days...the loss of oneself to something intangible.



EXHIBITION PREVIEW: Jana Liggett-Wright


Terra Incognita- Unknown Land. This was a term cartographers used when labeling parts of the map that were undocumented.

These images are my attempt to explore this- these dreamlike horizons. The landscapes here were never really landscapes- they are just made of light and dust and shadows.


EXHIBITION PREVIEW: Jess Clark

A photographic representation of female identity. A search to find what makes us unique but also our place in society. 



EXHIBITION PREVIEW: Harris Gillespie

A home is a safe place. Everyone seems to feel comfortable in their own home. The four walls create a boundary between the inside and the outside world. Privacy is all we think abut. Locked doors, windows shut, curtains drawn. I will be focusing on the word 'privacy' and will be looking into why this word has such high importance in today's society.


EXHIBITION PREVIEW: Nathalie Engel


 "A flower cannot blossom without sunshine, and man cannot live without love"
I have produced a collection of images reflecting the beauty in femininity, while also exploring the idea of blossoming relationships. It all began with my intrigue of the unknown,searching for the hidden and unseen in people.



EXHIBITION PREVIEW: Lucie Crewdson

‘HIDDEN’
The female figure becomes symbolic of past experiences.
A visual representation of anxieties, fears and suppressed feelings is created.
Atmospheric imagery to provoke memories and personal response.








EXHIBITION PREVIEW: Chris Vieira

My work focuses mainly on deep explorations of the human mind, and how various mental stimulations are affected by defective illnesses. This results in most of my work depicting quite dark themes, with melancholy feelings present throughout. For the exhibition, I have specifically been looking at maladaptive behaviour, delusions and hallucinations - and representing my findings through my photographs. 



EXHIBITION PREVIEW: Sachelle Clarke

I aim to capture the state of tranquillity by using colour, I want it to flow and fill the energy of the mind from the images that I hold in mine, Creating a quality or state of being tranquil...
