#dgyouthview - Photography Mentoring Opportunity for Young People

Photograph by Min Sriprathum

Join an online community of young people interested in photography and you could win a day with Kim Ayres (Kim Ayres Portrait Photography) and Phil McMenemy (The Gallery at Laurieston), two of Dumfries & Galloway's favourite professional photographers.
The Project

DG youth view is inviting young people aged 13-21 to send in their pictures, we hope to see how our region looks to you, and bring together young people interested in photography. We are interested in composition and content of the picture not the camera used. You don't have to use a fancy DSLR - a basic digital camera or even a phone camera is fine. Phil and Kim will be offering advice as we go along and we will also be giving away Cinema tickets.

The Categories

We are asking people to send in Images with thought under the following categories.

My Place:

Photos of a place I spend time or love to visit - home, school, park, street etc.

My People

Photos of people I spend time with - family, friends, work colleagues, club or group members etc (please make sure the people you have photographed are OK with you submitting the photo to this competition)

My Festival

Photos of performance - bands, street theatre etc - can be from the DG Youth Festival, Eden, Wickerman etc or from an earlier festival this year.
