And so it begins – at last – the installation process for ‘Photos Tell Stories – photographs of The Gambia by Gambians‘ exhibition, in The Gambia.

Now… the curating process begins…

**Laying out the images at Alliance Française, The Gambia, West Africa – the venue for the exhibition**

The all important part… getting the prints lined up, with PTS’s photographer and workshop tutor, Jason Florio.

**Mounting the Fajara students prints from their ‘Portrait’ workshop**

And, that’s all you get to see for now. All will be revealed, over the coming days. Right now, we are still in pre-production mode for tonight’s exhibition opening : Alliance Française, Kairaba Avenue, Kanifing, The Gambia, West Africa – 6-9pm – it’s free and open to all.

For those who can’t make it, you check out some of the students work here, on the blog, or follow us on Twitter and ‘like’ the PTS’s FB page. And, you can always subscribe to the blog – in the left hand column.

We look forward very much to welcoming those of you who can make it!

…along with images from Photos Tell Stories photography workshop tutor and award-winning photographer, Jason Florio

We have less than five days to go until the opening night of ‘Photos Tell Stories – photographs of The Gambia by Gambians‘ exhibition opens at Alliance Française, here in The Gambia, West Africa: Friday 16th May, 2014 – 6-9pm.

We picked up the prints at the weekend – thanks to AdoramaPix, NYC, for a their support and a great print job! – one image from each of our young Gambian photography workshop students (we’ll be showing a slideshow of the rest of their work, plus some behind-the-scenes shots of Jason Florio teaching the students). A sneak preview of just one of 60 inspiring exhibition prints, from our students – most of whom had never used a camera before…

During the opening night, we will also be projecting, on the above big screen in the amphiteatre at AF, Jason Florio’s images from our West Africa journeys, as well as showing our ‘River Gambia’ short film; taken from footage Jason and I both shot whilst on the 1044km source-sea expedition, 2012-13.
