MOON CHILD is a collective collaboration between David Fons Lathrop, Catarina Correia and photographer Dave Shrimpton.
Their exhibition Celestial Chaos is described as: A journey through the lens of Victorian Photography, this collective trio brings to you an experience of the esoteric, the strange, and the Ancient."
"Moon Child is the manifestation of the timeless journey of the soul. From birth in chaos, till the liberation of the shadow, and all the deaths and rebirths in between.
The exhibition will run from the 2nd to 29th April with the open night on Thursday 5th April from 6pm. It will be a widely attended event so please be prepared for it to be busy.

The Impossible Group
The Impossible Group is an exploration of the bleeding edge of photography, image-making and camera technology.
The Impossible Group will be meeting again on Wednesday, April 19th at 7pm. We will be discussing a series of image-making applications and AI generators from the stunning Midjourney v5 that we’ll be live demoing on photographs taken in the studios, along with other platforms such as Stable Diffusion, DALL-E 2 and the new offerings from Adobe’s Firefly, Camera Raw’s Super Resolution Increase and Photoshop Neural filters.
We’ll be showing our own creations and helping you to integrate these technologies into a workflow to create stunning images and also add an extra toolset to your photography skills. To join simply comment on any of our social posts with #jointccig and our bots will do the rest.
