It was a cloudy Saturday when we reunited at the EcoLab in Tramore Valley Park for the first session of our collaboration with the KinShip Project. 📷
Artist and photographer Artem Trofimenko began the session with a brief introduction to the Hermann Marbe cameras available through our Camera Library. Participants learned how to load the cameras, had the chance to ask questions and, with Artem’s expertise along the way, set off to explore the park through an analogue lens.
Looking back at this first session of the Slow Camera Exchange × KinShip Project, the photo walk invited participants to see Tramore Valley Park through different eyes, capturing the landscape, local flora, nature and the small details we might otherwise pass by.
More than simply taking photographs, the walk was an opportunity to slow down, observe our surroundings more closely, exchange ideas and connect with others interested in analogue photography.
But this was only the first step in the journey. The images captured that day would later be developed and transformed through sustainable printing techniques using natural materials. 🌱🎞️
Over the next few days, we’ll be looking back at the different stages of the project before revealing the final results.
✨ Join us this Friday, 18 September, at 6pm at Cork City Library for our final exhibition as part of Culture Night, and discover the works created by our participants throughout this journey.
