The Gallery Photogroup
Our membership is open to people of all ages. It includes those who make a living from photography, experienced amateurs and beginners who want to learn more about their hobby.
Most of our members use digital cameras and computer technology to print their pictures. Some use film for colour slides or to make pictures in a darkroom. In short, we cater for people with a wide range of photographic interests. We all strive to make our best photograph our next one without losing sight of the friendships and fun we gain from it all.
We meet on Tuesday evenings from September to May at 7.30 pm in the Southlands Centre, Ormesby Road, Middlesbrough where secure car parking is available. During June, July and August we meet on the first Tuesday of each month.

Two of my great passions in life are travel and photography. I believe that travel broadens one's view of the world. Experiencing other cultures, meeting people from other communities and other countries and seeing the beauty, and sometimes ugliness, of the world has helped me understand that all of our lives are at once interconnected and individual. It has made me better appreciate my own home and culture as well as that of the people I've met and the lands I've seen and I have become a much more tolerant person as a result. Through my photography I seek to document my own personal experiences, to capture scenes and events as I see them and to share with others the beauty and diversity of the world I've seen. As the images of other photographers have inspired me to explore the world, I hope my own contributions will inspire others to do the same.
I view the art of photography as a subtractive process, a distilling of reality into a personal vision. As such I often use the tools of modern photography – different film stocks, filters, digital enhancement – to try to capture in an image the emotions I felt at the moment I tripped the camera's shutter.
