Snappy Valley is a process-led community photography group that was formed in October 2019 in Todmorden, a West Yorkshire town in the North of England. The aim of the group was to engage the local community in a photography project with a view to develop participants’ individual creative practice as well as create a socially engaged and collaborative body of work.

Feedback from Redeye's Mentoring in 2020
Posted 24 June 2021
Redeye’s Graduate Mentoring Scheme is an opportunity to connect with an industry professional. It’s a chance to ask questions, seek advice or support, gain feedback on work, and chat through ideas.
We thought it would be best to hear about the mentorship experience from some of the 2020 mentees, so they have kindly written some short testimonials on their experience this past year to give you a better idea of what the mentorship can offer.
