Stephanie Wynne and The Group from Crosby Camera Club Celebration Event: 14 June, 12pm–2pm, Crosby Library Members of Crosby Camera Club have set out to discover the feel of Sefton – the streets, fields, green spaces, coast and places where day to day life takes place. They enthusiastically roamed across the borough embracing the principles of psychogeography – how location affects emotions and behaviour – responding through photography to locations across the length and breadth of the borough that are familiar and less familiar. The group are confident photographers who collaborated with artist in residence Stephanie Wynne, to expand their ideas about photography and to challenge themselves to create pictures that reflect their new ways of seeing. Explore the exhibition, see what they saw, and enjoy a wander through Sefton.
Photographers: June Poston, Andrew Dunford, Duncan Reid, Paul Baker, Cathy Rigby, Andy Joynson, Stephen Lang, Sue Williamson, Paul Ryan, Graham Liu, Patrick Doherty, Chris Hands.

She has enjoyed a varied career including teaching photography in both further and higher education. Her career has been informed and enriched by her innate interest in people and the environment.
