Viewfinders Competition with Prizes

Viewfinders is holding a photography competition this year as part of the Romsey Festival 2017 and in association with the Romsey Advertiser.

Our objective is to encourage adults and under 18s to take their first steps into more organised photography. In other words potential new members and potential young photography club members of the future. There is, however, nothing to prevent existing members from entering and they would be very welcome to do so.
What I would ask though, please, is that you could encourage your members to talk to members of their family: children, grandchildren and friends and encourage them to enter. There are many who will find the prizes attractive if we can just reach them.

https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/3YK93FN

Background : Salisbury District Hospital’s ArtCare team has been awarded a £40,000 grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) to record and improve access to its collection of historical archives, memorabilia and medical equipment, through exhibitions, workshops, talks and permanent displays. The collection includes photographs, video, artwork and medical objects that give a distinctive view of Salisbury and the way healthcare has developed from 1700 to the present day.

The second phase of this project is to create a website to share these collection items with the public. ArtCare need your help, to shape the way the website looks and let us know what aspects of these interesting and unique stories you would like to be told.
This survey will be open until 31st March 2017.

Message: Hi,
I’m a Film student at Wiltshire College in Salisbury, and am organising a screening in Salisbury to showcase our work to try and get feedback on it. Myself and a group of 6 others would love for you to join us in watching our work and critiquing it in a creative environment. We also welcome your own work that you’d be willing to show, we think this would be a unique chance to show your work to and meet other people who share similar interests as you. We are still finalising the location, but we plan to hold it on Wednesday the 22nd of March and it will be early evening time. Please let me if this is of interest to you, and I will pass on the details as soon as they are confirmed!

Thanks,
Will

Short biographies for the two photographers

Ian Berry made his reputation as a photojournalist reporting from South Africa, where he worked for the Daily Mail and later Drum magazine. He was the only photographer to document the massacre at Sharpeville. While based in Paris he was invited to join Magnum by Henri Cartier-Bresson. He moved to London to become the first contract photographer for the Observer Magazine. He has covered conflict in Israel, Ireland, Vietnam, Czechoslovakia and Congo, famine in Ethiopia and apartheid in South Africa. He has also reported on the political and social transformations in China and the former USSR.

Awards include Nikon Photographer of the Year (twice), Picture of the Year award from the National Press Photographers of America, and British Press Magazine Photographer of the Year (twice). Arts Council Award, Art Directors’ Club of New York Award.
His books include The English, two books on South Africa, Sold into slavery and Sea. Exhibitions in London, Paris, Hamburg, Brussels, Bradford, Perpignan, Aix en Provence Shanghai, Lowry Gallery, Walker Art Gallery Liverpool, Edinburgh, SCOP Shanghai, Hastings, Bruges.

The book: The English - Ian Berry This collection of Ian Berry's superb photographs of "The English" represent a personal exploration of England and English life - a project he could undertake through being awarded the first Arts Council Photography Bursary. Says Berry of this book, "Though I was born and grew up in the North of England, I was in the odd situation of being English and knowing very little about England, having spent much of my life abroad.
I set out to record what I saw professionally. But despite a journalistic purpose I am drawn to visual situations. Many areas of life are difficult of access to a photographer. I have had to select my favourite photographs and that must militate against a comprehensive view. In the end, such a book can only offer a personal and partial view of what one has seen. Readers must draw their own conclusions about the photographs and what they add up to." Ian Berry's photographs of old and young, of all classes, at home, at work, at leisure, together and alone, will inform, sadden, delight, and illuminate England and the English way of life.

Ash Mills graduated from Salisbury College of Art in 1994, with a PQE in Photography, Film and Television. Working in the camera department he was fortunate to work on fascinating documentaries such as the BBC’s QED series and Living Proof as well as exciting programmes like Earth Story, 999 reconstructions, Channel 4’s Time Team, and various Extreme programmess as he was keen on caving and generally getting roasted, soaked or blown away! With a client base established in Bristol and London he moved back to Salisbury where he has gradually transitioned into doing more stills work than film, along with a spell as a film editor for a local film production company. Nowadays he has a broad portfolio of clients aside from Salisbury Cathedral. He still credits his grandmother Tineke Robson, a Dutch artist, for inspiring his more creative side and introducing him to a lifelong love of photography and art. He had the huge pleasure of working alongside Ian Berry at Salisbury Cathedral whilst he took photos over Easter in 2015; “I remain in awe of Ian’s style and hope to continue to learn as much as I can from him.”
