Dorset Independent Photographers began in 1988 following an inspiring weekend workshop in Dorchester led by Fay Godwin, a seminal figure in 20th century British landscape photography. Members of the group, who are mostly based in West Dorset, have been meeting regularly in each other’s homes to share work ever since and they have exhibited widely in the region.

​Photographic styles may have evolved since the 1980s, but Dorset Independent Photographers has remained a constant presence in the region’s visual arts scene. The secret of its staying power has been its informality, its members’ willingness to share work in progress and to exchange honest but constructive criticism.

Work from photographers Lisa Bukalders, Paul Clarke, Tim Edwards, Chris Hilton, Malcolm Macnaughtan, John Tilsley, Alison Webber and Andy White will be on display.

The exhibition runs from Monday 18 March until Thursday 28 March and is open daily from 10am until 4:30pm.
