Nicola Shipley Director of Grain Photography gave a talk explaining the work in which she carries out for the organisation and her own background relating to photography. Nicola and Grain work together with emerging photographers, often newly graduated students in order for them to gain opportunity’s and grow as artists, such as being involved in exhibitions or having exhibitions of their own. The organisation have worked with photographers such as Arpita Shah, Mathew Murrey, Helen Marshall and many more. The organisation also runs a youth programme for 6-16 year olds, weekly visits are made for progression and there is even an exhibition at the end, this is giving younger generations the opportunity to get involved with the photographic community.
