Photo exhibitions by master’s students
Spring promises to be a bright season for everyone interested in photography, as the master’s students at the School of Photography prepare to put their work on display in a series of exhibitions at Galleri Monitor. Although the first exhibition has already ended, six still remain, the last one closing on 25 April, months from now.
The street outside Galleri Monitor on the first day of a new photo exhibition, summer 2009.
It was in the early summer of 2009 I received word that I had been accepted to a summer course in digital photography at the School of Photography here in Gothenburg. That summer turned out to be the best in years. Together with other photo enthusiasts who, like myself, were lucky enough to be accepted to the highly popular summer course, we worked hard to realise our chosen projects in time for the exhibition at the end of the summer.
The work was, as I have mentioned, hard and the course would not have been the success it was if it had not been for the fantastic teachers who were always there for us, and whose enthusiasm for the photographic medium inspired us all to keep on working until we got the kind of results that we were happy and proud to put on display. These teachers were, with very few exceptions, full time students pursuing their master’s degrees at the School of Photography.
Now, and all the way through to 25 April, there is a chance to see their work on display at Galleri Monitor. Having met and been a student of theirs, I suppose I may be a bit biased, but I am really looking forward to seeing some of their work at long last. And to all out there with an interest in photography, I can happily recommend this series of exhibitions – it should be a blast!
