About Us

The Photographic Angle holds free exhibitions that travel across the UK transforming vacant spaces into temporary galleries. The exhibitions showcase the contemporary work from students, graduates and enthusiasts of the art of photography giving the public the chance to see the current practices from this dynamic field.

For each exhibition, an expert of the art of photography is invited to select a new theme inspired by their own research for which artists can submit work to tour around TPA galleries throughout the UK.

Work can be submitted on this website by visiting the apply page. New themes are chosen regularly and exhibitions are always changing so we are always looking for work!

TPA is a registered charity whose remit is the advancement of education for the public benefit in the art and science of photography as well as promotion of arts for the public benefit. reg. charity number 1135750

Bryony - Curator

Bryony grew up mostly in the North-East of the UK, with stints in the U.S.A, Israel, Tanzania and Australia. She studied Fine art at the university of Wales before founding the charity: The Photographic Angle, which still holds all of her time hostage. Her guiding ambition for TPA is in creating an informal space for photography to be freely and openly experienced and discussed.

She loves silent movies, real orange juice, collecting maps, words in books, folk-guitar riffs and various other guitar riffs, growing tomatoes, knitting and occasionally taking pictures on disposable cameras. Bryony is currently studying for a Master of Fine art, with the university of Cape Town, having felt upside down in the Northern hemisphere for far too long.

Antony - Communications Manager

Antony was born to an English dad and a Czech mother, both working in the arts in fact his whole family are working in the 'art world' in one form or another however only his wife works professionally in photography. It was when he met her while working in Prague that he began his schooling in photography, that was eight years ago and although he has far from graduated he is a keen student.

Outside of the photographic universe he co-founded a short lived but intense cultural/current affairs newspaper while living in Barcelona and also taught English in several areas including, most recently the Britannia Royal Naval college and Algeria.

His loves are his tatty mixed media notebooks, 'projects', print and online media, music (blue grass to electro), getting outside when he can, discovering there's always more to life, polar bears & tomatoes.

Hannah - Operations manager

Hannah was born in Shropshire in the picturesque town of Ludlow. After a fairly quiet childhood, she packed her bag and fled to the city of Cardiff to study Tourism. It was here that her love of travel and culture flourished, and once her BA hons status had been achieved and enough money was saved for the all-important flights, she embarked on a round the world trip.

Since this adventure Hannah's love of cultures and meeting new people is still top of her list, along with a love of photography which is pretty handy as she is now employed in this field. She comes to The Photographic Angle with some excellent experience of the events and travel industry. She has successfully organised events in the stunning cities of Venice, Bath and Edinburgh, along with some more local PR and events in the Devonshire area.

Outside of work, her hobbies are long distance running, socialising with friends, city breaks, travel whenever she can, sailing and water sports, regardless of 2 cracked ribs just last summer! At present Hannah is in the process of buying her first home in Devon, where she hopes to settle and stay for the foreseeable future.

Together they set up their own publishing company producing a stunning design magazine for the kitchen industry, along with the annual Design Awards event. After many a weekend in the glorious Devonshire countryside, they then took the bold decision to relocate the business and family down to the South West and have never looked back!

After working together for ten years, Cindy was ready for a new challenge of her own and joined The Photographic Angle soon after incorporation.

Cindy has an active life away from the office with her two children, and enjoys rowing, running and crossfit and the occasional glass of champagne.

Mike - Production Logistics Consultant

Mike joined the team back in April 2011.

Mike brings a wealth of experience having been involved with the organization of some major international events over the last 20 years. Mike's work has included two Olympic Games (Ceremonies), Pit Stop Regent Street (a major event in the very heart of the capital) and a number of live outdoor classical/rock concerts.

'Live events is all about, having the right bit of rope for the job in hand, knowing the direction of wind and tide, having faith in a competent crew and keeping tight control of the throttle when required to do so', says Mike - who seems to think he is still at sea.

A father of four very photogenic daughters Mike's time is kept fairly busy, however when not working Mike enjoys escaping and messing around on water.

Mike does have a camera on his phone but doesn't know how to use it - so is hoping for a little education himself !
