Project Summary

This is a continuation of our 2026 project, seeking more of our community who are prepared to share their inner selves and be photographed as their "real" selves for an exhibition

Project Description

In 2026 we invited members of our community to share their inner fantasies and be photographed as such. By providing people an opportunity to open themselves in this way, we help them to gain confidence, while also inviting others to consider their own inner selves, and how liberating it can be to open ourselves to our friends and neighbours in a safe and non judgemental way.

Funding requested is £1000. This will pay for 

Backgrounds and costumes £500

Hire of suitable studio space £150

Hire of necessary lighting equipment £150

Printing of images for the resulting exhibition £200
