An exhibition of photographs taken by keen West Leeds photographers opened at the Mill Gallery on Friday (20 February) to great acclaim.
The Friends of Photography group meets at the gallery at the end of each month with the motto of “you’re only a stranger once and then you’re a friend”. It was created for anyone who has an interest in photography.
Whether they use a top of the range digital camera or a basic mobile phone camera, they are welcomed to a non-judgemental and friendly atmosphere, where tips, advice and support is shared and encouraged.
The exhibition is open to the public each Friday between 1pm and 4pm and runs until Friday, 27 March, while the next Friends of Photography session will be held on Friday,
20 March running between 3pm and 5pm.
Eight local photographers ranging from professional to the casual happy snapper each
have two exhibits on show, and the range of subjects is amazing.
The exhibition is free to attend although the gallery would appreciate any donation, however large or small.
The “Friends of Photography” is also donation based and individuals can drop into the sessions at any time as it’s facilitated in a way that is flexible and so people don’t have to worry about turning up late. Whatever time you arrive you will be warmly welcomed.
The next Friends of Photography meeting is on 20 March, 3-5pm. More details here.
