GRAIN, the photography hub and network for the West Midlands, is delivering a symposium and professional development opportunity in collaboration with Wolverhampton Art Gallery and its project partners.

This event has been developed in the context of the exhibition ‘From Darkroom to Digital’ at Wolverhampton Art Gallery, which is co-curated by Wolverhampton Photographic Society, and features Oscar Rejlander’s pioneering composite picture ‘The Two Ways of Life’. This one-day event will enable photographers to explore and discuss analogue and digital image making, engage with professionals in critical debate and seek advice on their own career and portfolio development.

The presenters and leading experts are Paul Herrmann (photographer, writer and Director of Redeye), Dean Kelland (artist, writer and teacher), Karen Newman (curator, writer and academic), Pete James (curator and writer) and Jonathan Shaw (artist, writer and academic).
