Gallery 1885: Stuart HullA Peculiar Moment in time
June is Pride Month in the UK, one of the biggest events in the LGBTQIA+ calendar so it is entirely fitting that the next exhibition at Gallery 1885 is “A Peculiar Moment in Time” by Stuart Hull.
Photographed entirely in colour, this collection of 28 portraits of past and current members of London's LGBTQIA+ community is part of a new and ongoing series of authentic, truthful and revealing pictures documenting the LGBTQIA+ community called "A Queer Portrait of Britain".
If you would like to see the diversity, vibrancy and tenderness of expression within the queer/LGBTQIA+ community of London, come along to the exhibition or the open view.
Dates: 4th June to 1st July - Open view 9th June 6.30pm

ImageArt June: All Work & No Play
The theme for the next ImageArt get-together is “All Work & No Play”. It could be a worker, a place of work or going to work. A banker, an actor a waitress, a bus conductor, a carpenter, an architect, a lawyer, a shop assistant – any kind of worker. Working, looking for work, going to work, coming home.
It could be a formal portrait or a Linkedin headshot. It could even be a Christmas party or a celebration or the loss of a favourite colleague. Whatever picture it is, let it be real. Real workers doing real things. (Model shoots and actors’ headshots are not included!)
So, everybody, get to work!
Need any more information or have any questions? Get in touch with Bill Hart-French, the Group Leader: bill@billhartfrench.photography.
