Sequence: Nottingham Centre for Photography and Social Engagement

Sequence: Nottingham Centre for Photography and Social Engagement Helping photographers develop their practice and supporting a community.

Make it Easy has now closed its doors...

It was the combination of two groups of friends who want to share their dedication and passion for analog photography. The idea behind Make it Easy was to provide an environment where people of any background can learn, share and practice analog photography. Make it Easy came about when The Photo Parlour in Nottingham and Take it Easy Lab in Leeds decided

to see how they could create a space to support people, from beginners to current practitioners, in making the mystery of analog photography simple. Through online resources, as well as physical access to facilities such as cameras, darkrooms and scanners, our aim was to help people start making photographs instead of taking them.

Today would have been John Blakemore’s 90th birthday 🎈

Johns friendship, mentorship and approach to creative practice is something which has moulded what we do at Sequence and we are forever grateful to have known him.

A day rarely goes by when he isn’t mentioned. He is a constant source of inspiration… having said that, John would say “inspiration is a myth… just play!”

Happy Birthday John 🎂

A very special Photo Social, in this session our evening course group will share work and we will update you on the Sequence build! 👷‍♂️👨‍🏫🏙️

We are so excited to be hosting another Photo Social, kindly accomodated by Broadway Cinema in their Mezz Lounge space 🥳

Our photo socials are open to everyone and completely free of charge 🥰

In this social we will be sharing work made by our evening course participants and sharing all the news about the new Sequence darkroom and teaching space at Backlit in Nottingham!😆

This is a friendly event for anyone who would like to share their work or connect with others in the Nottingham photography community.

We encourage attendees to bring along some of their images or bodies of work to share with the group. However, please don’t feel obliged to bring anything, you’re more than welcome to come along simply to join in and support others. The social is a chance to meet new people and enjoy engaging with your peers. Everyone is welcome.

We have a few principles that we try to adhere to during the socials.

The first one is quite a firm one… Be kind. There is a place for more substantial critique in creative practice, but the social is intended as a space to encourage others and lift them up, not to shoot them down.

It is not compulsory to show work but if you would like to do so, we ask that you bring physical prints. Not only is it nice to show something tangible, but it’s also good to spread work out on a table and let people really look at them!

We are usually able to get through 6 peoples work during a social, this is decided on a first come first served basis so if you would like to share work, please arrive 10 mins before the social with your prints.

We also have a no gear talk rule… discussing your pictures is more constructive when we’re considering why we’re making work as opposed to the tools we used to create it. You’re welcome to have gear chat in the pub afterwards!
If you’d like to attend, please book a ticket so we can keep an eye on numbers. Everyone is welcome, and it’s completely free.
