STUDENTS ON SHOW - Selected work from the Hereford College of Art and Design National Diploma Photography students

Michael Brimfield: Buckle

Current planned housing developments in Britain will have an irreversible effect on the British Countryside. 'Buckle' subtly comments on the physical impact this will have, making us reconsider our priorities and the way we value our 'green and pleasant land'.

Martin Harris: Whiteway Colony

Whiteway Colony was founded in 1898 on Tolstoyan principles by a group of young men and women known as the Croydon Anarchists. No two of the approximately 60 houses that were built are the same and changes to their appearance over the years mirror the changed aspirations of their inhabitants and the changed political climate in the UK.

David Bishop: Dairyman

Accompanying a local milkman on his early morning round, David discovered the diverse and at times bizarre relationship Tony Schmidt 'The Dairyman' enters with his clients. A declining profession his round is more eventful than one imagines and the notes and messages left by people on their doorsteps for Tony make delightful reading. David has captured a relationship hovering between the professional and the intensely personal and human.

Guy Stephens: They Sleep

This piece of work that was inspired by journeys through suburbia in the early hours of the morning. Intense in its atmosphere and colour, the images refer to the eerie calm surrounding people's homes.

Kirsten Bowkett: Addiction

A harrowing and sympathetic portrayal of a young family in Herefordshire whose lives revolve around Heroin. Despite the predictable signs and consequences of drug abuse, we see a close and caring family unit giving us a sense of perspective other than the usual stereotypes perpetuated by the media.

Louise Sunderland: My Family

Rediscovered old family slides provided the basis for this exploration of past and personal identity. A sense of memory and loss pervades this highly visual and evocative work allowing us to discover fragments of a puzzle we all can relate to.
