The Photographic Angle Blog

Following on from the success of our very first TPAtalk, which took place in Bristol last year, we are pleased to announce that we will be hosting our second presentation in the series, this time at Lynchwood House in Peterborough. TPA is delighted to welcome photographer Sylvia Adams, whose work is currently touring the country as part of our exhibition Between Here & There.

Throughout the presentation, Sylvia will highlight her journey as an exhibiting TPA photographer from selecting a subject and preparing captured images, right through to exhibiting her work. The talk will no doubt provide an interesting and useful insight into one person's photographic experience and aspirations.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to view TPA's current exhibition, Between Here and There which brings together artists whose work explores environments as a testament to our presence, existence, identity and our place in society.

The talk is free of charge and is open to the general public so we invite you all to come along and hear what Sylvia has to say. It is a great opportunity to learn more about the process of submitting work for inclusion in one of our touring exhibitions. We hope to see you there!

With our Freeze Frame interviews, we try to tie them in with our exhibition themes so that anybody who is thinking of submitting their images to be included in one of our touring exhibitions can see some examples of how the professionals do it and can pick up some helpful advice, inspiration and tips on how to improve their own photography.

One of the themes that is currently open for submissions is Four Elements. With this theme we are focusing on the classical elements of Earth, Water, Air and Fire and we are looking for submissions that present a fresh insight into one or more of these elements. Luckily, we found a fantastic photographer who we hope will inspire you to get out there and take some creative and visionary images of your own.
