NW Collective exhibition at Undegun

A new exhibition that documents the work of local photographers and filmmakers is currently running at Un Deg Un.

A retrospective exhibition of work by the Wrexham based North Wales Collective features some of the images and films the NW Collective have captured and aims to illustrate how much local talent and creativity there is and the wealth of activity that goes on in Wrexham throughout the year.







Launched last night many members of the Collective were out to celebrate the show which featured live music from Tiny Wooden Angels. Guests also included members of the Wrexham Area Civic Society and the Mayor & Mayoress who were the first to have a portrait taken in the new studio







The NW Collective, formerly the Wrexham Film & Photography Collective, formed in September 2012 and consists of photographers, filmmakers and graphic designers. Since their formation the collective have documented the town, the people and celebrations of Wrexham. The Collective’s original members initially got together at Glyndwr University’s North Wales School of Art & Design, however the group is continually expanding, so as well as being made up of students, graduates and lecturers they have also welcomed other camera enthusiasts from across the region. The collective are keen on collaboration artistically, within the group, but are also keen to work with other groups in the community offering positive outcomes for all concerned.


Having collaborated numerous times in the past THIS Project and The NW Collective have worked together to not only bring this exhibition to Wrexham Town Centre, but also on a new project to install a fully equipped photography studio at Undegun.







The studio and the collective are available to book and offer sessions of photography for children, family, maternity, engagement, promotional shoots, band photography, product and even have a shoot with belly dancers in their calendar. Prints of the work will be put on disc for you and prints will be available online – go to collectiveimagerystudios.com
The group are also available for hire to do wedding photography, prom shoots, lifestyle and locational photography. To contact them for more information drop them a line on nwcollective@live.com
