Light, mood and moments captured by two local photographers. Fri 21st Feb - Opening Night 7pm to 9pm Sat 22nd & Sun 23rd Feb 11am to 5pm Will Lake It’s the overall mood of an everyday scene that really catches my eye, and I love to capture natural light – or the lack of it. I shoot on the move and keep things simple and naturalistic, preferring not to use a tripod or filters and doing little or no processing once the image is taken. John Linney I photograph both landscape and towns/streets. I’m as interested in a stunning view as I am a person or townscape captured in a moment. Light, form and movement shape my photography. This collection is based on my street, urban, human work.
Free.
