‘Faces in Windows’ photography exhibition

Our A Level Art students worked with professional photographer Andrew Ogilvy to produce a series of portraits to brighten up empty shop windows in Chipping Norton as part of the new Illuminate Chippy event.
The students were inspired by award winning photographer Agnès Varda’s film ‘Face Places’, in which the photographer and muralist, JR, travel through rural France capturing images of local people they meet and leaving behind amazing murals for the communities to enjoy.​ The students were asked to work to a brief entitled ‘Our Town’.
Our students worked with local author John Dougherty on writing the words to accompany their photographs. As well as planning and creating their photographic artwork the students had to think carefully about how and where the finished photographs were going to be displayed.
This project has been a wonderful opportunity for the students to experience the ‘highs and lows’ of putting together a professional exhibition. We are very grateful to Ian Nolan Events, Andrew Ogilvy and John Dougherty for enabling the students to take part in this fantastic new event.
The photographic exhibition will remain in place for all to enjoy until the end of January.
