Hello friends,


We would like to say thank you to the 15-20k people who viewed the photography exhibitions in 2021, and for all your incredible feedback.

We’ve been working hard behind the scenes to establish our 2nd photo festival. However, despite our best efforts we have been unable to resolve some logistical challenges with providing the exhibition across the three parks in Swindon for 2022.
We look forward to continuing to work with South Swindon Parish Council to realise these issues, and hope to come back in 2023.

We would like to express our gratitude to all of our sponsors & partners who have been so generous with their support Photography Daily South Swindon Parish Council Tom Faulkner Earthworm Recording Studio CMS SupaTrak PermaJet New College Swindon Bread & Butter Studio Captured Sattya Media Arts Collective

Admiration and thanks goes out to the exhibiting International photographers Jason Florio Martin Parr Foundation Sanne De Wilde. It was an honour to display such thought provoking images in our parks, which not only looked spectacular but which also provided for much dialogue and engagement within our community and amongst our visitors.

Thank you to all Uni graduates for putting on a great show, Photojournalism & Documentary Photography at UoG University of Gloucestershire Beth Prodger Photography .photos lecturer together with

It was great to include so many of New College Swindon photography students, who worked hard during their course year to produce some fine work for the exhibition. Thank you to all staff, Louise Spence, Paul Henderson, Claire Ashley Rupert Holdship

Special mentions to Carl Johanson for always having solutions for anything technical and for helping out so much, and to Jon Buckett who has supported me in the management of this project, and stood by me all the way.

A warm welcome to the last of the college student entry for the category “VIEWFINDER’ at Photo Swindon.
A/AS level in photography Pandora Kidd.

"This photos was taken on a walk that I do regularly each evening, to exercise the dogs and this evening happened to be a beautiful sunset, when two other walkers happened to walk across the horizon at the perfect moment. I feel lucky to live in such an open, spacious environment particularly whilst we were in lockdown" -

Photo Swindon / ‘Viewfinder' provides graduates and students with an opportunity to showcase their work. We hope the platform provides an important step in their pursuit of photographic skills, in identifying and communicating their unique photographic voice, and offers tangible experience of exhibiting photographic work.
Unlike our International exhibitions this year, which focussed on some of the most impactful photojournalism and documentary photographic stories of recent years, the students and graduates work towards briefs from their course leaders spanning many genres of photographic work. We would like to wish them well with the hope that they feel inspired to achieve purposeful work, and to continue pursuing their dreams

Today we would like to welcome Brendan Checchia who is studying A/AS Level Photography at

"This photo was a self-portrait taken during lock down, I was continuing to try to learn to drive, we were all trying to continue with our normal lives as far as possible, within the limitations of Covid regulations” - © Brendan Checchia.

Introducing student Oliwia Bruska with her selected image from her A/AS level in photography course work.

"During the second lockdown, I was still in my first year of College, and to be honest, I was quite unsure of what I should do for my photography project. But being both mentally and physically trapped inside a house, has forced me to look around in a different point of view, a different pair of eyes, in a way I never did before. I had to take what I had and make something good out of it. This is how I managed to capture these images, it was a trial-and-error process – but through this, I managed to grow stronger with my family, we created a bond that was unbreakable. The one positive outcome that resulted from the second lockdown” © Oliwia Bruska

Lovely big shout out to Lysandra Marques from n A/AS level photography student today!

Exhibiting at PhotoSwindon - ‘VIEWFINDER’.

"This is a black and white digital photograph of my elder brother. This photo was taken during lockdown for my project 'Life in Lockdown'. He was on his computer when I grabbed my camera, stood beside him, and called him out. I captured the moment where he looked over at me, with the beautiful bright catchlight of the window and the world outside in his eyes” - Image © Lysandra Marques

We will however continue to present the students work on-line.

It’s a pleasure to introduce Aimee Fletcher with an image from her course work at college.

"This image I took of my younger sister was intended to explore the stigma around beauty standards. Her holding this broken mirror, with her perfectly posed and lit face within it, represents the length and struggles people will go through to just be "perfect".

Introducing New College Swindon BTEC student Nikita Ihrig with her photo story, ‘Young Family’-

"Being part of a young family is always a challenge. First with having young children to entertain, to feed and clothe is tough enough, then add on a pandemic, job losses and lack of family support you create a tinder box. My work explores how the different family units have coped since lockdown and the relationship within have blossomed or deteriorated’ - Nikita Ihrig

Nikita work is now showing as part of a collection of images for ‘Viewfinder’ produced by New College Swindon photography students.

Warm welcome to Katy with her photo story ‘Distant Families’ -

"Over the last two years my family and I have been separated between countries due to lockdowns across the UK and France. In October I was trapped in France with my Mother and younger siblings, only to return in December alone and be separated from them with my grandfather and step-father. Although this has been a struggle, my work examines how we have communicated and tried to maintain family connections through trying circumstances” - Image © Katy Burns

"After being stuck inside for almost two years, my friends and I decided to plan a trip to some of the most beautiful mountains in the UK, we spent three weeks together visiting different locations.
This work examines the relationship between a group pf uyoung friends on an adventure after the end of lockdowns and regeneration of the staycation. Exploring some of the UK’s greatest natural beauties, each portrait demonstrates the magnitude of nature’s dominance over our lives” - © Harry Gasson
