Shutter Hub

(05.12.14) Today we had a visiting lecturer, Karen Harvey. Karen was here to give us information about the website Shutter Hub. Shutter Hub is a community and resource for photographers as a way to promote their own work and receive support from others. It offers a range of opportunities for photographers and people who generally just love photography, to attend events, lectures and workshops and a chance to exhibit their own work. The website is for UK citizens only and was created in the UK also. It does not matter what format of camera is used whether film or digital and the range of genre's does also not apply, it suits its members professional and creative needs. Karen really sold the website to us in the lecture, making the website sound great for promoting our work and getting it out into the world. She really told and showed us every aspect of the website and after looking at the website in my own time, I will definitely be joining to be a member in the near future. The fact that it holds exhibitions and curations, it definitely has the whole package and is a opportunity to see other photographers work, talk to people about your own and network and support other artists. Another plus to the website is having access to offers on software and equipment as the network grows as a whole, making it easier having everything under one roof for members. Overall it was a great lecture with Karen, being told about a network I did not know existed until then and I will definitely be looking further into Shutter and becoming a member.
