The Amber Project

Social Documentary

The Amber Exhibition



Here I found a brief article about a current exhibition showing in Newcastle called the Amber project. The project exhibits 30 years of North East living through photography and film. This current exhibition is something which ties well with my own work which i have started to produce in relation to working class people in the north east. I hope to get to see this exhibition before it closes on the 19th september 2015. The photographers mention in this article who have working being exhibited in the Amber Project Exhibition are photographers which will come in great use for research and a source of inspiration for my own work in my photography and written work.

This has been a really helpful find for me as it gives me numerous photographers who have documented the north east whom I can now go off and research.

The work is rooted in social documentary, built around long term engagements with working class and marginalized communities in the North of England.
