Newport Documentary Photography Graduate Publication

Newport, United Kingdom
FUNDED

We are the graduating students of the Documentary Photography BA at The University of Wales, Newport and we would like to tell you about our project.

As a group of 29 photographers, we are making a new publication that will bring together our work as we graduate with the centennial celebrations of photography at Newport. A book can travel and we hope that ours will travel internationally and end up on the desks and bookshelves of arts organisations, photographers, newspaper and magazine organisations, enthusiasts and supporters of what we are creating. As a book it will function beyond an exhibition space, for it will archive the work that we have made as the hundredth year to graduate from a photography course at Newport.

We are documentary photography students; however the work that we are creating as a group reaches beyond the traditional notion of the genre and reconsiders what documentary photography is in 2012. We work with film and digital, black and white and colour, studio and location, current affairs and conceptual ideas.

We want people to see our work and this is why we want you to know about our project. We need your help. Making a book is a costly venture and we need to fund raise £6,000 to get 750 copies printed and bound.  If we can raise £2,500 here on Sponsume we will be part of the way there!

There will also be other fund raising events around the Newport/Cardiff area in the near future so keep an eye out!
