A SENSE OF SAFE
A heart warming exhibition of photographs by citizens of Hutchinson.
We all have places were we feel ‘comfortable’, where we feel ’safe’. Sometimes those places are inside our own home, sometimes they are elsewhere. For some this sense might be with an object or a view, such as a favorite painting or a distant line of trees seen from a bench in the park.
BrightHouse, in conjunction with Irish Photography Tutor Dave McKane and the Hutchinson Art Center will be facilitating a wonderful exhibition of photography projects undertaken by survivors of domestic & sexual violence in our community. The theme is “A Sense of Safe”.
Through regular workshops held in BrightHouse, these budding photographers have studied the key aspects of storytelling through still images, using smart devices such as phones and tablets. All the images have been processed by them, on the very same devices they were captured. Important insights, such as dealing with low light, capturing fast moving subjects, composition & Rule of Thirds, consistency in use of color or black and white treatments, as well printing high quality images, were all covered in the course.
Please help us celebrate by joining us on our launch night as these wonderful artists share their stories through photography with the world, many for the first time. You will even have a chance to bid on these wonderful images in our Silent Auction at the end of the night!
