Three award-winning Wiltshire photographers have got together to mount a varied exhibition now open to the public.
Former camera club chairman Roy McDine, his wife Sue and fellow photographer Sheri O’Reilly opened their display on Saturday, January 20 on the exhibition floor of Trowbridge Museum.
The exhibition showing large photographs are displayed on the new stands set out on the top floor of the museum housed in the former textile mill building accessed from The Shires shopping centre.
All three moved to Trowbridge in 1973 and have decades of experience between them collectively finding inspiration in different techniques.
Roy McDine has previously exhibited his photographs at Trowbridge Museum in a show that proved to be a popular attraction.
He said: “Both myself, my wife Sue and Sheri have been busy during last year and decided to put together a varied display for public view and with the new display boards we can show our work in really pleasing way.”
Roy has displayed a series of photographs showing varied body art and, in contrast, another stand shows his landscapes throughout Wiltshire.
Each stand at the exhibition area contains eight to ten large photographs.
His wife Sue has concentrated more on wildlife with a separate display of red squirrels, kestrels and also butterflies.
She said: “I appreciate all forms of art with photography being my favourite - I had my first camera for my 10th birthday and have been taking images ever since.”
Sheri O’Reilly displays her more artistic side with Rockaway Park junk art and also an effective look at mental health.
She said: “I studied art and photography to A level and my favourite subjects are portraiture, candid street photos and motocross, to all of which I can apply my art focus.”
The exhibition, In Focus Photography Showcase, runs to the end of March with free admission.
