PERSONAL ESSENCE -
INTERNATIONAL PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION
EXHIBITION DATES - MAY 2 - 30, 2025
Documenting the intrinsic nature of the human form through capturing the personal essence of a person is the aim for achieving an outstanding portrait photograph. We tend to seek out to photograph a person purely because we find interesting visual forms and indispensable characteristics of a person, wishing to feature their individualistic visual essence. The act of capturing a moment through taking a photograph of someone in time is an important document of life. A range of emotional gestures and pure visual expressions are desired to show the range of personalities of the various people represented for their personal essence. The Personal Essence exhibition will feature various forms of photography, images of a broad range of takes on the portrait photography genre.
COLLECTIVE DISTANCE -
LINDA ROBINSON SOLO PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION
EXHIBITION DATES - JUNE 6 - 27, 2025
Photographs in the Collective Distance exhibition are framed photographs by Linda Robinson, the MWCP Gallery Director. Through the use of multiple exposure and the dichotomy stated in the symbolic layering of imagery in Collective Distance, there is a juxtaposition in the codes of the existing family photo narrative. Complex stories allude from the re-contextualization of simple instamatic photos. Points of reference shift from the original purpose of the snapshot and now direct and attract other meanings. Distances are traversed through the collective veil of the past in reference to today. Yet through this shift, emotive qualities remain true to an intimacy which once framed the lives of ordinary people.
