St Luke's Church, Watford

Fancy yourself a bit of a photographer? If your answer is yes, then the Sporting Photoflashswap is for you! If your answer is no, then the Sporting Photoflashswap is for you!

Whether you use medium format, digital SLR, iPhone, Nokia, pin-hole, point and click, or the disposable cardboard camera from Boots that was left over after your cousin’s wedding, it doesn’t matter. Bring your photograph along to the Church and see it hung as part of our exhibition that will last till our Beer & Curry night in July.

Bring your friends to see your work, and eavesdrop as people try and understand your “motivation”. Then, on the final evening, watch as your fellow photographers fall over each other for the privilege of taking home your art and sticking it on the fridge. You bring a photo, you take one back. Simple. Inspirational.

In this Olympic year we wanted to have many ways for people to join in, here’s an opportunity to get involved without all the sweaty running around exertion of actually doing the sport.

Then on July 7th as part of our Beer & Curry night we’ll host a special photo flash swap event, when everyone who has work on display there can exchange it for one of the other prints in the show.
