Photography Now!
Following the success of Print Now! last summer and Collage Now! earlier this year, Gateway Gallery presents the next exhibition in the series.
Presented by Colour Now and produced by Just David, Photography Now! brings together 21 photographers with a wide range of styles, experiences and interests. With no set theme, each exhibitor has selected up to four photographs to share, creating an exhibition that is as varied as the people behind the camera.
The exhibition forms part of the Shrewsbury Arts Trail and opens at Gateway Gallery on Friday 31 July.
From 2pm to 6pm, photographer Oliver Wilkins will bring his travelling Tintype Portrait Studio to the gallery. Visitors can watch the historic wet plate collodion process in action or sit for a one of a kind tintype portrait for £50.
Each portrait is created by hand on metal, then carefully varnished and posted to you once complete. Advance booking is recommended, although a limited number of walk-in sessions may also be available.
From 5pm to 7pm, join us for Meet the Photographers, the main opening celebration for the exhibition. Many of the participating photographers will be at the gallery, offering the chance to meet the people behind the work, enjoy a drink and explore the exhibition together.
