Camera-arderie

The Camera-arderie group (The Cams) initially formed after meeting each other during a Skippko photography project and are now going from strength to strength, organising their own photography opportunities, sharing knowledge and supporting each other through the friendships that have been formed.
They are currently supporting our ‘Studio 42’ photography project through mentoring new participants and sharing the knowledge and skills they’ve gained both working with Skippko artists Nicki and Sally and through developing their own photography practice.
As part of their role in supporting ‘Studio 42’ the Cams are creating their own responses to the briefs and challenges set by Nicki and Sally.
This page will be updated with new images as they are created.

Technical Challenge Two – Machinery – Sept 22
For this challenge we met at Armley Mills where we asked the group to shoot in black and white. This challenge is all about light, contrast, tone and shape – composition all the way with no distraction of colour!
Here’s a selection of the photographs taken that emphasize the wonderful shapes and angles the group found whilst exploring the theme of machinery.
