With over 150 photographs on display, The Magna Carta Park Photography Group held their fundraising exhibition earlier this week at Audley Cooper’s Hill, showcasing the group’s exceptional talents and raising money for two local charities close to the group’s hearts, The Woking & Sam Beare Hospice and Cancer Research UK.
Having first met as neighbours at Audley Cooper’s Hill, Dr Towler and Mr Hacker founded the photography group during the COVID lock down and what started off as a Zoom meet up, has now become a regular monthly in-person meet.
Speaking to Mr Hacker, the two main ideas behind the group were to have fun, and to ignite the passion for photography in anyone and everyone who is interested in taking photographs. After all, everyone has a camera on their smartphone these days! During the monthly meet-ups advice and guidance on photographic technique, composition, and editing skills are shared and first-hand experience is encouraged with the main intention of the group being to motivate others to get up, get out, and use your camera.
The Magna Carta Park Photography Group currently has 15 members and is keen for the wider community to get involved. If you missed out on the day and are looking to purchase one of the photographs please contact Chris Towler on coopershillreception@audleyvillages.co.uk
