I’ve mainly been teaching photography this year The Click Photography Club
During the summer I’m going to find time for my own photography projects ready for the new term in September.

Treat yourself this summer.
How often do you get in front of a camera with your children?
How often do you have to rush to get a decent photo of your beloved pet?

Let us take the stress out for you and make sure you have perfect memories.

Exciting News from The Click Photography Club!

As we prepare for the new term, we’re considering changing our meeting day or potentially adding an extra day. Many new potential members have mentioned that Thursdays are busy for them. To ensure we can welcome more people and build a stronger community, we’re exploring other options.

We’d love your input! What days work best for you and your family? Please share your preferences and any other feedback in the comments below or message us directly.

Thank you for your support and for making this year incredible. We can’t wait to see what the next term brings!

Feel free to share so we can get a wider view on the matter for workshopping.

Best,
Rob

Just out of curiosity how many people are seeing our posts.

I’ve heard that FB isn’t too great for businesses and I just want to see how much reach it has and if it’s worth keeping up with social media or moving my efforts to other platforms.

If you can interact with this post somehow that would be great.

I understand this sounds like a way to get views etc but it’s market research more than anything.

Many thanks.

Rob

Imaginarium Photography

30 years behind a camera. From film to digital, from dark room to software, from print shops to instant camera images. A lot has changed but my passion remains.

📸 Exciting News! 📸

Imaginarium Photography and The Click Photography Club are thrilled to announce that we will have a stall at the Highfield Hall Primary School Summerfest on Friday, 12th July!

Stay tuned for more details coming soon. We can’t wait to see you there! 🌞📷

I’m lucky to be on these journey. When I started six months ago I was torn between motivation and mental ill health. I am so glad I took that leap. I’m privileged to work with children and young people who have a passion for photography, who are creative and talented. They are willing to learn and friendly to one another.
Here’s to the next six months. The Click Photography Club

We had our first Click ‘n’ Go session. Abi came in to get some photos of dance wear that she wore in a show. If you want to show off your dance wear or other sports uniforms then get in touch.

Exploring Photography as a Gateway to Learning and Mental Well-being:
Embarking on the journey of photography offers individuals a pathway to learn new skills and cultivate interests, serving as both a creative outlet and a therapeutic hobby. For those navigating mental ill-health, diving into photography can provide a sense of purpose and accomplishment as they master technical aspects like lighting and composition. Moreover, the continuous pursuit of honing one’s craft fosters a growth mindset and promotes mental well-being by channeling energy into a fulfilling and rewarding pursuit.

I have one slot left for this Thursday 5.15pm.

FYI

A courteous reminder that the Churchyard is not common public space. We make every effort to help with people who want to take photographic or video records of the church and its surroundings, but there are always people who don't think it important or simply good manners to ask - especially in cases where pictures are being taken to advertise commercial goods, or for personal or commercial profit.

The message - you have no right to use the church or the churchyard to make money, so please don't. If you are simply taking pictures or videos for private use, it helps if you have asked first. And if you wish to involve the church in promoting your business, we are more than happy to talk about appropriate ways of doing that.

Ask - don't assume!

Utilizing Photography for Physical Activity and Mental Well-being:
Engaging in photography not only stimulates creativity but also encourages physical activity, such as going for walks to explore new settings or angles. This dual benefit is particularly valuable for individuals struggling with mental ill-health, as it provides a constructive outlet for both artistic expression and movement. By immersing oneself in the process of capturing images, individuals can find moments of mindfulness and presence in the present moment, all while staying physically active and promoting their mental well-being.

Connecting Through Photography for Mental Well-being: Photography serves as a powerful tool for individuals experiencing mental ill-health, offering avenues to connect with others and bolster mental well-being. Through sharing photos and engaging with photography communities, individuals can combat feelings of isolation and find support networks that promote understanding and empathy, ultimately contributing to improved mental health outcomes.

Hey there, young photographers! Get ready to embark on a summer journey with The Click Photography Club!
