The UK’s biggest outdoor photo festival has created Preston’s ‘Temple of Photography’ 📸 EnjoyTheShowUK
Scream images pasted up opposite the Bus Station Pic: Garry CookThe work of almost 50 local photographers has also been put on display, with dozens of large-scale images pasted up on the site of the former Tokyo Jo’s nightclub on Sykes Street Car Park and on Lowthian Street.
These images – from a call out named Hit Singles – have transformed the walls of the former nightclub and hundreds of people have already visited the site, which has been nicknamed the Temple of Photography.
Many more photographers will have large-scale single images on display, while an extensive engagement program will see multiple opportunities for local people to take part in the festival, either by taking photographs or by being photographed.Organiser Garry Cook said: “The reaction to the first phase of the festival has been phenomenal. So many people have already been to Sykes Street Car Park to see the giant images of wrestlers, Lancashire landscapes and people portraits.
“The Scream images at the old Past Times building and opposite Preston Bus Station have been putting smiles on people’s faces. I’ve had hundreds and hundreds of comments on social media already. Everyone is loving it.” One photographer said: “I cannot begin to tell you how proud I am for having one of my photos, taken with my dear late dad’s camera, being displayed on Lowthian Street as part of Lancashire Photography Festival.The festival is funded by Arts Council England, with support from Friends of Winckley Square CIC and Preston City Council.
