The event
Hothouse arrives in Leeds for a day-long celebration of photographic talent. Throughout the day there will be short presentations from photographers about their recent work and projects, plus ample opportunity for networking and showing portfolios and books.
Redeye is delighted to be working with Miniclick and Lens Think Yorkshire on this edition of Hothouse; they have both contributed to the day’s programming. Staff from all organisations will be at Hothouse all day, so there will be the chance to meet them and find out more.

"Stimulating, thought-provoking, challenging and inspiring. I really did enjoy it."
"Well organised, good mix of photographers at various stages of their careers, good mix of approaches to work, short talks and presentations, so no time to get bored!"
