Info on Anna and Gemma

G: Hola! I studied photography at Nottingham Trent University, which feels like a long time ago now. Since then I have worked as a photographer at a professional portrait studio, working with families, children and pets! The past two years I have been working as a photographers’ agent at Vue (www.vue-us.com)in London. In my spare time I volunteered at ZoomIn community photography programme, where I assisted with various youth projects at the Brixton Refugee Centre. A: I am currently on a Career Break from my post as the Education Officer at an art gallery & museum in Greater Manchester. My work at the gallery involves planning and delivering the educational sessions that accompanies the exhibition programme. I have worked with children and young people for the last seven years in a variety of settings, including heritage sites, schools, colleges and inner-city communities. I specialised in Illustration & Printmaking at University but through my work have become a dab hand at using dazzle dots and pva glue! We would also really like to thank everybody who made it possible for us to come here and who continue to support us whilst we are involved in this project.
