Camera Club Booklet 2024

“Time flies over us but leaves its shadow behind.” Nathanial Hawthorne Oxford is a city known for prestige, knowledge and architecture, yet it is also rich in diversity, heart, and soul. Some things about the city don’t change: the cobbles, statues and colleges outlive us all. Their presence hangs heavily in the air, reminding us of what was before. But the people are changing the time. By capturing the beauty we see today, we hope to inspire new perspectives on the streets that now belong to us. Inspired by the streets, we worked with Elina Medley to develop skills in photography, image making and curation. This exhibition captures the contrasting beauty of Oxford, both urban and rural, and explores viewpoints of a new generation living in an old city. Kaleidoscopic greens, whispering winds and ghostly encounters influence each image.

We hope you enjoy our exhibition, Camera Club ‘2024.
