New photography exhibition at Frome cafe Moo and Two on Catherine Hill

A new photography exhibition has gone on display at a popular Frome cafe.

Moo & Two is displaying new photography works by two local photographers Dan Hopkins and Marc Cooper.

The cafe on Catherine Hill will be holding an exhibition preview on Wednesday, August 2 at 6pm.

Dan and Marc are members of the local collective Photo Frome where members set themselves photographic challenges, and meet regularly to encourage each other.

Dan Hopkins' work features landscapes taken in infrared which offer a very unique perspective.

He said: "Infrared photography offers a world where foliage is white, water is black, structures of trees can be seen through the leaves, and the sky is dark.

"These images are created with a converted digital camera. Images can be created when the sun is at its strongest and at the height of summer to help create the strong contrast typical in infrared imagery."

Photographer Marc Cooper, who lives off Berkeley Road in Frome, is displaying a new series of black and white landscape photos from a recent trip to New Brunswick in Canada.

The seascapes are of Hopewell Rocks - giant rock formations caused by tidal erosion, standing 40-70 feet tall.

The photo exhibition is running at Moo & Two cafe, 27 Catherine Hill, Frome. A preview event will be held from 6pm on Wednesday, August 2.

Framed pictures are available for sale at the end of the exhibition at £60 each.
