About Photography competition - Who are you?

Opens Friday 24 July 2009
Closes midday Friday 21 August 2009
Winners announced Saturday 29 August 2009

Can you enter a photographic self-portrait that tells us something about who you are?

Our current exhibition Front shows the work of photographic artist Trish Morrissey, who poses as different people to investigate the links between photography and performance, identity and memory.

In response to this, Impressions Gallery would like you to create a photographic self-portrait that explores your identity.

This image could be looking at your choices of clothing and body language, the type of environments and places you live in or how your relationships with other people effect who you are.

We would encourage you to think of the idea of a self-portrait very loosely and to be experimental in your approach. So whether it’s a snapshot of your favourite shoes, or you in a place that’s special to you, get thinking about what makes you, who you are.

Will you impress the judges - Andy Wade, Multi-Media Manager at Orange UK and Anne McNeill, Curator of Front and Director of Impressions Gallery - and win a prize?

Have fun and we look forward to seeing your entries.

How to take part

You can enter just one photograph or up to three different photographs.

This is an open flickr group so anyone can see the pictures that have been uploaded. Your photographs will also be available to view on Impressions website. If you want to take part and upload images you'll have to join as a member of flickr. This is easy to do and full instructions can be found by clicking here.

And that’s it!

Don’t forget to pop in on Saturday 29 August when we’ll be announcing the winners of the competition at our Beach Party.
