Fine photography in focus in new Chichester Camera Club show

This year’s Chichester Camera Club spring exhibition is once again promising a remarkable range of images.

Spokesman Rob Campling said: “First are the remarkable film noir images of Brian Muir.

“They hint of mystery and intrigue. Who is the woman hurrying through shadows and why is the image named Bordeaux?

“Even a cigarette break is shrouded in semi-darkness and, as for No 7, what is his story?

“We are on firmer ground with Corinne Noyalet and her sympathies are clear. Surely the old man is harmless – but does the soldier threaten or protect? What price democracy on the smokeshrouded streets of France?

“There is a clear threat from Gary Howes’ giant spider, until we realise it is a sculpture standing in a smoke-shrouded square. The holder of the red umbrella has nothing to fear after all.

“George Sayer shows a quiet England, the calmness of the canal harbour in Chichester at dawn and the glorious colours and shapes of Goodwood at sunset.

“We travel much further for Mike Hancock’s insightful portraits and, as he comments, Myanmar has not changed too much yet, despite its political problems.”

We return to France for Rob’s own study in form and shadow of a chateau in the early evening.

“Our taster ends with two collages from last year by Hilary Featherstone and Kim Tattersall respectively – and Kim also used her smart phone to capture some of the feel of last year’s exhibition.”

With free admission and free parking, the Chichester Camera Club spring exhibition is at Tangmere Village Centre, Malcolm Road, Tangmere, PO20 2HS.

The exhibition is on Saturday, March 30, 10am5pm and Sunday, March 31, 10am-4pm.
