Last Saturday I spent the afternoon hanging out with young people at The Photographers’ Gallery for their Year 2 launch event of DEVELOP: Preparing for a Career in the Photography Industry

for which I am the Evaluator. We invited participants to add their ideas to an interactive timeline reflecting back on Year 1 and thinking ahead to Year 2. I chatted with individuals and observed the various activities - Q&As with industry professionals, a Teen Talk in the gallery space, a zine making workshop and a photoshoot with a professional photographer. I also asked participants to fill out a feedback form as they left.

One participant said they liked:

“The organisation, how chill & nice it is & the amazing variety of people.
