This photographer from Leicestershire presents here a selection of Enduro's (motorbike endurance races), celebrities that have been to the Charnwood area and a few what he calls cute animal photographs.
"Rag pickers fit into the lowest rung of Indian society. These photographs were taken to understand the survival of a community which I have grown to care for. I would like my baheno (sisters) to acknowledge that their drive and ability to work in such conditions is a topic worthy for motivational speeches, anywhere in the world... They inspired me."

A photographic exhibition by Loughborough University School of Art and Design
"Is there an uncanny side to Loughborough? What are the unusual , unfamiliar, incidental and unexpected aspects of the town? Where are its hidden places and spaces?"
This selection of photographic work reveals a familiar place from a diverse range of perspectives. It reminds us that there is always something new to discover about where we live, work and play...

It does not seem long ago to Dennis when many shops in town were owned by local people.
Alas we are now witnessing the demise of local family businesses. Can they survive the assault of the major high street shops? Dennis has captured some of these shopkeepers in their working environment.

"My images show how variable dance can be. There is more to dance than tremendous leaps and jumps. There can be quiet power in a still pose. There is color in dance, but there is also line and form. Dance is so much more than "tricks". It encompasses such a range of beauty that there is no limit to the images it can produce, or the feelings it can invoke within us."
In 2008 the group of students were part of a natural history project.
They were encouraged to look at things in a different way with a new perspective not only on the natural environment around them but also on their photography. This exhibition is a selection of some of their images taken from the nature walk in the Outwoods and from a visit to the Collection Resources Centre.
