BTEC Photography students from Swindon’s New College have showcased their work at the Number Nine Gallery in Theatre Square during May during a week long exhibition open to the general public. The collection of work was selected by the students themselves from their second year of the photography course, giving the aspiring snappers an
opportunity to show off their work to the public and prospective clients. Mary Gale, Course Leader for Photography at New College, said: “Every year we help the students put on an exhibition like this, and every year they impress me with their professionalism and quality of work. The students were asked to supply examples of their best photos from throughout their
second year, and in some cases they have chosen shots they have taken for clients they have already taken on. “This is about preparing the students for the professional world, keeping them grounded but giving them a chance to show their work to prospective clients and get noticed in the community. “Having the exhibition in Theatre Square brings an opportunity for
their work to be seen by the arts community as well as the general public too, as we are directly across from the Shoebox and Wyvern Theatres. It’s a great opportunity.” The students themselves collaboratively set up the finer points of the exhibition, dividing up the various jobs such as publicity and logistics amongst themselves.
