Local creative framers Imagen have chosen three Channel Hastings photographers to display their favourite images from in and around Hastings at a forthcoming exhibition to be held at The Imagen Gallery.The private viewing of the exhibition takes place on Friday 28 March from 6.30pm onwards and the exhibition runs until Friday 11th April.
Terry Russell, Adam Piggott and Barry Reid are all members of The Channel Hastings photography collective that seeks to showcase and celebrate the most exciting local photography from in and around Hastings. The Channel Hastings photographers have a group on the popular photo-sharing website Flickr. It currently consists of 143 members comprising both local residents and visitors to Hastings and has approximately 2100 photos taken in and around Hastings.
Terry Russell freelance photographer and founder of Channel Hastings said: "The fact that three out of the four photographers were chosen to exhibit at The Imagen Gallery is very encouraging to all of us."
"We hope people will come along to the exhibition and be inspired to join us on our journey to shoot, share and celebrate the very best that the local area has to offer to photography enthusiasts."
In order to display an alternative to the more traditional seaside shots Terry Russell has chosen to showcase his recent images of young local 'free runners' whose spectacular backflips out of Bottle Alley and onto the beach immediately captured the imagination of local Channel Hastings photographers.
In addition to the sale of prints at the exhibition local photography enthusiasts will also be able to purchase their favourite images as postcards in April from the Channel Hastings website.
The Imagen Gallery is at the Britannia Enterprise Centre Waterworks Road (near Morrisons)
Private View Friday 28 March from 6.30pm onwards.
The Exhibition runs from 29th March to 11th April. If you can make the Private View please RSVP Imagen on 01424 447518 (Tue - Sat)
