Photography Festival People’s Choice Winners

Our Photography Festival has now ended and we were delighted with the positive comments from the hundreds of visitors who enjoyed it as well as the workshop participants and exhibitors who took part. This powerful exhibition had a strong message about community and the photographs revealed how this means very different things to different people.  We are pleased to see Shambellie House developing it’s own community of people enjoying the opportunity to relax, learn and enjoy through photography in this wonderful local setting.

If you are interested in finding out more please check the website or email our lead photographer Laura Hudson Mackay ARPS who is based here and working out of Shambellie House. Contact us at photographers@shambelliehouse.org

Annual subscriptions to the darkroom and digital suite are available with regular workshops, talks and exhibitions throughout the year – check out the website for details. If you missed out on the exhibition,  watch this space for the touring locations of this years exhibition soon to be announced.
