SPOILER ALERT 🚨 This sad little guy features in our documentary that we will be showcasing at our Celebration Event on 29th October and YOU’RE INVITED!!
Join us for the premier of a documentary which encapsulates life at The Cattle Market and an exhibition celebrating the long history of one of Nottingham’s best loved institutions. The Cattle Market has been a cornerstone of Nottingham since it was established in 1888. It welcomes thousands of local people each year, is home to the largest auction house in the UK and holds hundreds of years of history between its bull-head adorned gate posts. The Cattle Market Project is a Heritage Lottery funded project which has spent the last eighteen months discovering and documenting the rich history of the Cattle Market area of Nottingham through a variety of creative and innovative ways. As the project draws to a close, we are hosting a Celebration of The Cattle Market on 29th October to share all the work we’ve been doing.

📣ANNOUNCEMENT THREEEE 📣
Our next photography workshop is COMMERCIAL photography!
This workshop is an incredible opportunity to work with top commercial photographer, Simon Bernacki, and understand the creative practices behind product photography.
You will need to bring along with you your own photo-taking device, whether that's a phone or a DSLR or anything in between.

Si Bernacki is a photographer, skateboarder and social entrepreneur. Passionate in equal measures for all three, photography takes precedent as it pays (sometimes) the bills! Working closely with Scene Photography in Nottingham for the last few years, he has built a reputation for being a valued member of the team, working directly with clients in the studio or on location to produce commercial photography assets. Combining his interests in skateboarding and photography has led to publishing work across a variety of print and online platforms. He is also the co-founder of Skate Nottingham, a local social enterprise designed to educate, teach and mentor people who wish to get into skateboarding. Having experienced barriers to entry himself, removing this can only make the community stronger, more diverse and inclusive for anyone who wishes to take part.
Simon will be leading the photography workshops and sharing his knowledge, experience and skills with participants. He has led similar programmes through Skate Nottingham in collaboration with the Photo Parlour. They are fun, exciting and hands-on sessions, where participants will learn some of the guiding principles of photography before being given a project to focus their creative energies on.

There are a limited number of places, so please do get clicking and reserve your space now 😊

Here are a couple of snaps from yesterday's Archive Photography workshop. We explored the history of the Cattle Market, and Simon gave some wonderful tips and examples about how to create some awesome pictures. Then the participants were let loose in the market to put what they've learnt into practice.
Thank you to everyone who came! We're really looking forward to Friday's Portrait photography workshop. https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/333467388937 link here to book your place!
