ExposureLeeds developed the ‘Photocamp’ conference concept in the UK; adapting the Barcamp principles and testing the concept.
Having now delivered two photocamps in Leeds we are looking to help others develop and deliver similar events in other cities in the UK, Europe and elsewhere in the world.
We are currently developing a resource website to promote the Photocamp concept: www.photocamp.org.uk
Previous Photocamps
- Photocamp Leeds {2008} [Flickr Group]
- Photocamp Leeds {Winter 2009} [Flickr Group]
Planned Photocamps
- Photocamp Bradford {2009} [see Website] – 5th September 2009
Embrace the Photocamp format within the National Media Museum – with access to the museum’s archives, curators and exhibitions – this is expected to be a sell-out conference that delivers exciting, open and friendly workshops to anyone serious about their photography.
Hi there – when are the opening/closing dates for this? I fancy a go…
It’ll be staying open until at least the end of March… looking forward to seeing your response!
Dear Sir/Madam
I am Mariam Alimi from Afghanistan and always vry interested to learn photography and have accadamic degree in this mentioned field.
we dont have this faculty in Afghanistan Just few short courses which i think it is not enough to learn accadamic study.
to be honest I am looking for a Scholarship in mentioned field in internationally or other countries could help a female from a countr call Afghanistan in this world.
so please let me know your University or you know other countries could send me a scholarship I love to study and go ahead in my life with best and high education.
Thanks for time
Hi Mariam,
I’m afraid I don’t know very much about academic options in photography – I can only suggest you contact some of the universities in the Uk and ask.
Good luck.

I had a great time, and we had a 100% turn out of those who signed up.
I’ve had some feedback and will post that soon!
In addition to the two presentations there will be loads of time given over to socialising and networking and we will also be again having an print swap…
Concept:
- Bring a print – put your name and flickrname or email on the back. (A small fee (20p) will be collected – just to cover costs)
- Swap this for a ‘claim sticker’
- Prints are ‘hung’ during the presentations
- Select the print you want to take away
- Take it with you as you leave.
A reminder that the Lasting Moment Workshop and Museum Tour will be taking place this Thursday at Leeds City Museum at 6pm. NOTE: All places are already filled.
If you signed up we will meet outside the Leeds Museum (just off Millennium Square) between 5:45 and 6:00pm. The exhibition will commence at 6pm sharp. (Should the weather be bad, wait in the foyer of the Museum).
If you are unable to attend for any reason please Flickr mail Roger as soon as possible so your place can be filled with one of the reserves.
As a reminder for what to expect from the evening, Helen Langford (Curator, Museums & Galleries, Leeds City Council) will introduce you to the museum and the exhibition – ‘A Lasting Moment’, Marc Riboud’s photos of Leeds in the 1950s and 2000’s. After the tour you will be given a brief for contributing to expanding the Lasting Moment website when the exhibition finishes.
Great evening – very informative – looking forward to the next one and to PhotoCamp Bradford in September!
