We are honoured to have given photographers on all levels, a platform and voice during Redeye, The Photography Network’s extensive lifetime.
Look back and share with us a summary of achievements and history, from over the years.
Our Reach
We have reached over 20,000 people during our time, across our mailing lists and social media.
Our Events
We have hosted over 500 events.
Our Programmes
Over 88 places were booked for events that supported recent photography graduates to receive ongoing support and advice across a full year, including our popular Graduate Mentoring and Awards programme.
36 Career Development sessions took place, with over 30 attendees on average.
We ran 28 Critique Surgeries - where participants received informal advice on their projects - and more than 35 Portfolio Review events, including over 200 hours of one-to-one advice.
13 Hothouse events were held, where photographers would provide quick-fire presentations about their work; these had an average attendance of over 50 people.
12 Member-led events, where we enabled Redeye members to create their own events by providing the administrative support needed.
We established the National Photography Symposium in 2009 and ran a total of eight National Photography Symposiums, as a place for photographers to gather and talk about the most important issues of the moment.
We ran six Lightbox courses of varying content for those wanting to either focus on their photography, collaboration, leadership or their opportunities in a changing world.
We have hosted five Climate Aware Photography courses, where photographers become certified by us and The Carbon Literacy Project as Climate Aware Photographers.
We also hosted a multitude of other types of events including more than 60 Networking events, 31 Masterclasses with a variety of photographers, Artist Talks and many, many more.
A few kind words from former participants who have attended our past events:
“To say that Redeye has supported me would be an understatement. They have been a huge source of influence and support for many years, and are part of the reason I am where I am today.”
"Brilliantly put together with a really interesting range of experiences and a nice central location.”
"Motivational and informative, something for all specialisms to take with them"
"Excellent as I have come to expect from Redeye.”
The Redeye Team and Board of Directors would like to thank again, all those who have been a part of Redeye, The Photography Network across the years. We hope you will join us in celebrating our many achievements and our history.
