We are really looking forward to exhibiting work by all the students who took part in ‘Photos Tell Stories: teaching photography – a visual language‘ at Alliance Française – opening night Friday May 16th, 2014.

We’ll also be projecting images from PTS’s tutor and photographer, Jason’s Florio, on the opening night – including ‘River Gambia Expedition-1044km source-sea African odyssey‘; ‘A Short Walk in the Gambian Bush – 930km African odyssey‘; and ‘Makasutu – mecca in the forest‘. And,  in the reception area, we’ll be screening our short film, ‘River Gambia‘ – taken from hours of  footage we both shot whilst on our epic West African river journey.
