'Time'
Faye Leftley.
I have been working in collaboration with Albert Robb as part of my Fine Art degree. We have been exploring and responding to the theme of time. On our journey we have discovered the subject’s diverse and immense possibilities.
My work challenges the traditional expectations of what a photograph should portray and illustrates a single passage of time and its effects on the natural world.

'The Beauty of the Blyth'
Sarah Webster
I am creating my own interpretation of a coastal environment on the east coast, through the use of a pinhole camera. This large pinhole camera is transported on a trailer to enable me to access more of the landscape. The unwieldy nature of the camera complements the simple technology and lends the work a certain ‘absurdity’. By slowing down the exposure and creating my own light sensitive surface I aim to conjure up some of the ‘magical’ qualities of early photography.

'Stone's Throw'
Paul Bustin
I have combined my interest in architecture together with nature to create a collection of images that are local to Suffolk and in particular Bury St Edmunds which is my home town.
This is my journey as a self taught photographer which began a little over 2 years ago.

'Stripped'
Alex Kilbee
In these uncertain times we are left feeling that we have been worshipping
style over substance.
So long as it looked shiny and new, we didn't care how well it was crafted -
after all there would be something else new and shiny along in a minute
wouldn't there?
Photography has not been immune to this.
Traditional portrait photography ideas have been discarded in favour of
creating a 'Photoshop work of art' - something that is style over substance.
In this exhibition I hope to display images which capture not only my
subjects' unique characters, but also strip my work back to the basics of
portraiture and focus purely on the interaction between my subjects and I.
Taking my work right back to it's beginnings and rediscovering the joys of
simple, strong portraits.

'Blazing a trail for forest rights in Nepal'
Georgina Smith
Agriculture employs three quarters of Nepal's working population. It accounts for almost 40 per cent of the country's GDP. But the fight for natural resources in the face of low income and descrimination in the sloping hills and forest regions of the country is ongoing. In photographs, follow the organisation Forest Action's attempts to bring justice to Nepal's forest people.

'Still On The Mystery Train – portraits of performers from jazz, roots and rock music.'
Bruce Lindsay
Rock’n’roll would be over in two years, Jazz was a passing fad, Folk wouldn’t survive urbanisation and Blues – well, Blues was a dying art. But they’re all still here and still thriving – and so are many musicians who have dedicated their lives to creating and performing in these genres.
All of the musicians in this photo series have been performing for at least 4 decades - for 8 decades in one venerable case. They continue to entertain and energise audiences around the world. Their talent and enthusiasm destroy any illusion that contemporary music is a young person’s domain. Their music continues to be a central force in the lives of many of us, years after we heard it for the first time. And they’re still on the Mystery Train...

'Bodywork'
Christina Greathead
Over the last two years I have spent my time engrossed in reading, researching, sewing and taking photographs. I ‘discovered’ the theoretical world of ‘the everyday’ which has been a subject for contemporary artistic investigation. I explored ways of bringing these strands together.
As I grow older and see my children growing, becoming themselves and having their own families and I look back to my own parents and grandparents, though fashions and life styles move forward, many fundamental elements of domestic life and the necessity to work have not. There is still the need to work, to provide and to nurture the young.
The focus of this work has been to photograph working people with whom I come into contact during my own daily life. They all have their own stories and life routes which bring them to a particular place at a particular time.
My photographs are printed onto fabric and suggest a tablecloth form to reflect the necessities of working and living.

'Forgotten Norfolk'
Brian Wells
Brian Wells is not one of those photographers who roam the countryside in search of the inevitable 'chocolate box scene'.
His mission is to unearth the places that the torch hasn't shone on for many a long year; his camera zooming in on all things derelict and deteriorating across Norfolk - an original celebration of our local land.
Brian still prefers to shoot on film using his trusty ancient Rolleiflex; he enthuses 'that the quality of Zeiss lenses are legendary'.
An ongoing project that started back in 2000, has taken Brian to many different locations including Grand Country Houses, RAF bases, Churches, Farmhouses and even a Tuberculosis Hospital to name but a few.
His most successful technique is the simplest - scouting for locations by hook or by crook, armed with a weatherproof ordnance survey map.
If decay is in the air, Brian will sniff it out.
