THE PHOTOGRAPHIC ANGLE PROMOTES EDUCATION OF THE PUBLIC IN THE ART AND SCIENCE OF PHOTOGRAPHY BY STAGING EXHIBITIONS AND SUPPORTING PROFESSIONAL, STUDENT AND AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHERS.
The Photographic Angle holds free exhibitions that travel across the UK transforming otherwise empty spaces into temporary galleries. The exhibitions showcase contemporary work submitted by students, graduates and enthusiasts of the art of photography, giving the public the chance to explore this fascinating medium which can be art, an occupation, or simply a pastime.
For each exhibition, an expert in the art of photography is invited to select a new theme inspired by their own research, for which photographers can submit work to tour around TPA galleries throughout the UK. Work can be submitted to this website by visiting the "Submit to Exhibit" page. Following submission, chosen images are printed by the charity, at no expense to the photographers submitting them. New themes are chosen regularly, and exhibitions are constantly changing.
TPA is proud to be linked to the Royal Photographic Society, and in conjunction with it, is responsible for funding a bursary for work in relation to environmental awareness. In addition, the charity also awards a number of its own bursaries each year.

Before joining TPA, Hannah worked for several years in the events and travel industry.

On a daily basis, Hannah manages TPA's hectic calendar, juggles stock levels, plans our exhibitions and manages our crews.
Outside of work, Hannah loves to run, swim, socialise and take photographs.

Colin is TPA's Ambassador for Leeds and the surrounding area.
His uncontrollable desire to organise things has resulted in a very varied work life, ranging from leading expeditions across Africa and Asia to delivering many hundreds of corporate events and entertainments. The events organising work continues, with variety being the spice of life. He never knows what will be coming next. As his area of specialisation is interactive fun and games, this can see him involved one day in a team building event and the next at a lively theme party.
When not working, time is taken up with family, walking in the Yorkshire Dales where he lives and teaching 4x4 off road driving techniques.
Rachel is TPA's Ambassador for the South East and London.
Rachel comes from the small village of Caldicot and has grown up loving the outdoors and mountains. It was obvious from a very young age that she was extremely organised and enjoyed nothing more than writing 'to do' lists for all the family. The family had spent every year since she was born camping in France, so this coupled with her love of the outdoors sent her to Coventry University to study Biology and French. Rachel's parents were both teachers, so after obtaining her BSc Hons she studied her Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) at Cardiff. After her career in teaching it was a natural progression in to planning events.
Since starting in the events sector Rachel has organised events for some of the top FTSE 100 companies and has enjoyed managing events in Cape Town and San Francisco as well as in Europe.
Helen is our Ambassador for the South West.
Helen started her career in Marketing and Events by successfully gaining the Chartered Institute of Marketing Certificate. She has been fortunate to work for a leading global insurance company in their in-house Events Team for over eleven years. During this period she was responsible for managing and implementing a wide range of high quality and complex events in the UK and Overseas. She has a real passion for improving Corporate Social Responsibility in the events industry. In 2010 she became Sustainability Champion for an International event she organised in Switzerland by implementing the BS 8901 Event Sustainability Management System and achieving self-certified status.
Her main focus now is on building her own events business, offering bespoke and professional event services to key clients including TPA.
Quentin appreciates photography; being able to see the world through the photographers' eyes is so refreshing and free from rules. Away from work he enjoys terribly (shamefully) trashy TV, gardening, yoga and a somewhat full social life. And also believes that everyone should know how to make soup!
