Wellbeing In The Workplace

Royal Derby Hospital Image Club Exhibition

Rachel Sharp My photography interests – from sweeping landscapes to macro close up, from well constructed images to abstract puzzlers – are an eclectic mix, a bit like my careers through the years! Now working as a Specialist Clinical Technologist in nuclear medicine, I started in computer programming and travelled via retail and medical physics to where I am today. All throughout my working life, I have used photography as a creative outlet to combat stress and to enable me to transfer the good feelings and positive well-being into my 9-5.

Anna Clapham Clinical Physiologist Photography and wellbeing I turn up to work, it’s another busy day.

I attend to my jobs and hopefully make a difference.

It’s been a long week and I need to recharge…..

I pick up my camera and then…..

I see differently I see further than I’ve ever seen before I see shapes and textures I see the wonder of natures creations I see colours in seasons I see landscapes I’ve walked a million times for the first time I feel refreshed I feel content I feel recharged.......

Ian Carroll Working in the Emergency Department can be chaotic, and stressful. Taking the time to put myself in the landscape helps me to be better at my work. With a camera, I can try and capture some of what I feel, being out in The World, to share with others, or to remind myself of. Within that rectangular frame, I have the opportunity, and challenge, to find some order in the chaos of life.

Monika Sergiejew I’ve been working at the hospital for almost 4 years now. Photography has long been a passion of mine and taking pictures is a way of capturing memories that can be forgotten. Whenever I go to a new place, I take my camera with me because I may not ever go back there. After a busy week at work I like to spend my free time outdoors, either cycling or hiking in the Peak District.

This helps me to stay relaxed and forget about the stresses of my job. Instead I am focused on photographing the landscape. In the last 6 months, I’ve started doing some portraits, and decided to bring the people into the landscape. I tend to invite them to places I’ve been before so I can record the interaction between humans and nature. I believe that it is important to highlight how we as people need to connect with nature for own wellbeing.
