Speaker: "UK Waterscapes" by Jonathan Genevaux
A French Photographer in the UK
I was fortunate enough to grow up on the west coast of France, in a rural region wedged between the sandy waters of the Gironde estuary and the wild Atlantic Ocean. From an early age, I spent my time immersed in water, from days spent surfing learning the intimate secrets of the ocean waves, to time spent discovering the rich flora and fauna of the wetlands where my grandparents tended their oyster pools.

Speaker: "Home Town Stories" by Giles Penfold
Home Town Stories is my photographic practice established with the aim of creating long-term film based documentary photo stories inspired by the people, community, culture and landscape of my home town of Newbury in Berkshire UK.
The boundaries of my ‘home town’, as I see and experience them bear little resemblance to any official map or designation, they are instead more open to my own personal interpretation and heart felt feeling of what is local and home to me.
