In this exhibition, we celebrate the ability of street photography to tell stories about people and the places they inhabit. Each exhibiting member of the collective has chosen an image that they feel represents their unique approach to street photography. From documentary to more abstract images, these photos reflect the different ways that we use the camera to capture life on the the street. A bike rider, a twin set of homes, a summer festival and a rainy reflection; these are some examples of the scenes that capture our attention and compel us to take the photo. They speak to both a specific time and space as well as the more universal experiences of chilling rain, of speed and of the warmth of summer. While diverse in our approaches, our common aim is to create images that we can all relate to as part of everyday life.
Why Capture, Print, Frame? While photography is usually now displayed on digital platforms, we feel it is important to also create prints of the images captured with our cameras. These prints provide a tactile experience in addition to a visual one. Surrounded by a frame and hung on a wall, otherwise ephemeral images begin to take up space and call upon the viewer to engage with them in ways beyond the digital.
We hope you enjoy our exhibition.
