Exhibition Fri 12th & Sat 13th November

Back in August Jackie McDine launched the project "Team Spirit: A Community Photography Project" in Westbury, Wiltshire.
Three months later, and the project has enabled us to make new friends, share skills and techniques and shoot some really interesting photos. It has been a thoroughly enjoyable experience for all participants and we're really excited that you will have the opportunity to see our work next week!

Photos by all 13 project participants will be exhibited at the Laverton Hall in Westbury and we would be delighted if you could join us to enjoy the work and have a cup of tea and cake - and yes everything is free! It would be great if you could also forward this information on to friends and colleagues, and even add it to your facebook status.

The exhibition opens on Friday 12th November from 6-9pm and will run again on Saturday 13th November from 12-5pm. Come along to enjoy the photographs - you will have a chance to meet the photographers and discuss their work, as well as enjoying a free cup of tea and piece of cake. The project has been funded by v - inspiring young volunteers across the UK, and has been kindly supported by Matravers School.

All of the work is based upon the theme of 'Team Spirit' and 13 participants of all ages and abilities took part in the project, led by Jackie McDine of Wiltshire Wedding Photography.

We hope to see you on Friday 12th or Saturday 13th at the exhibition.

We've got Team Spirit!

The community photography project "Team Spirit" is underway and has got a real buzz of excitement about it from participants in the Westbury area.

Team Spirit is a 2 month photography project being led by Jackie McDine of Wiltshire Wedding Photography and is completely free for people of all ages and abilities to participate. So far the group have been out on location in the eerie Wiltshire ghost town of Imber, at rugby matches, concerts and at various local groups and organisations that embody 'team spirit'. They have also been picking up skills, tips and techniques to improve their shots, or how to edit their photos.

And we would love to see you at the exhibition at the Laverton Hall in Westbury on November 12th and 13th, for a free drink and look at the groups work in print.

Get involved in New Photography Project!

"Team Spirit - A community project" is giving people of all ages in Westbury, Wiltshire, the chance to work together towards an exhibition from September to November 2010.

The project is being led by local photographer Jackie McDine, of Wiltshire Wedding Photography, who comes from Germany, but has been living and working in Wiltshire since 2008. The project is being funded by Vcashpoint and is inspired by London 2012, with many values of the games being involved within the photography work.

"We want photographers of all levels of ability. Having the equipment and the experience isn't necessary. What is important is an interest and enthusiasm for photography and to meet new people. This project will bring together people from all backgrounds and we will all work together to take great photos, edit them together and exhibit them together at the end of the project.

Working together you get so many more ideas, as well as picking up tips and techniques. We really want to encourage team spirit and friendship between the members of the group as well as helping the participants to improve their camera skills."

The project will culminate in an exhibition to be hosted at the Laverton Hall in November, featuring the work of all participants. And the project is completely FREE to participants, who will have access to resources and facilities, courtesy of the project leaders and Matravers School, Westbury.
