James Bellorini
James Bellorini's practice comes from trying to understand what he doesn't know, attempting to see again after a lifetime of 'not' seeing. As he is not trained, photography is about learning: understanding how and why he sees and what might make images work. At the same time he attempts to stretch himself technically to make images that have value to viewers, clients and himself.

Nick Simpson
Nick Simpson's work explores the landscape of the city and human movement within its form.

Nick is attracted to what is perceived as a blank, ordinary viewpoint and in communicating the aesthetic value of that situation. Images stem from an interest in perspective and in exposing the structures that help create the geometrical language of space. Isolating these structures as simplistic, rigid forms within the composition offers an alternative way of viewing spaces easily overlooked.

Peter Barker
As Peter Barker's career is behind him, he is devoting himself more fully to photography. Peter's practice is to use the camera to explore; then he reviews the images that emerge. Certain themes result and he uses them to continue the exploration and let the process develop.

Ruby Robinson
Ruby Robinson, a recent photography graduate from the Manchester School of Art, seeks to capture that uncertain chasm between childhood and adulthood in her series “Flush”. Originally from North Yorkshire but now residing in Manchester, Ruby describes her work as immersive, honest and playful. 

The series "Flush" explores a time in every females adolescence, a state of constant change. This phase is represented by the use of combining youthful elements with a sense of self discovery that come with female maturity. This project aims to playfully demonstrate the minor as well as the more considerable changes a female will experience as part of a coming-of-age process
