SUMMARY:Jonathan Kay - Massey University Lecturer/Master of Fine Arts Coordinator
DESCRIPTION:Jonathan Kay is a photographic artist\, researcher\, and lecturer based at Massey University in Te Whanganui-a-Tara/Wellington. His work explores the intersection of art and science\, using photography to reveal the unseen and challenge conventional notions of landscape. Over the past seven years\, his research has focused on developing a site-specific and responsive approach to photographic interventions within the landscape. \nDrawing inspiration from scientific ‘fieldwork\,’ Kay’s practice involves close observation and data collection\, using these methods to uncover new insights into specific environments. However\, his approach extends beyond the typical scientific framework by leveraging the unique possibilities of the photographic medium. This process enables him to move beyond the traditional\, idealized representation of landscapes\, offering deeper\, more complex interpretations. \nSeptember 25\, Tararua Tramping Club (4 Moncrieff St\, Mt Victoria)\, Doors Open at 7pm \nIf you’re curious about the Wellington Photographic Society\, you’re welcome to attend two meetings for free before deciding whether to join. It’s a great way to meet the community and see what we’re all about!https://wps.wps.org.nz/

SUMMARY:Annual Exhibition 2025
DESCRIPTION:The Wellington Photographic Society’s annual exhibition is a highlight of our year\, bringing together the creative work of our members and sharing it with the wider public. For us\, it’s not just a chance to hang photographs on the wall – it’s an opportunity to celebrate the art of photography\, showcase the talent within our community\, and invite others to discover what makes photography such an inspiring and accessible pursuit. \nThis year’s exhibition offers a diverse collection of images captured both close to home and further afield. You’ll see photographs from all around the world – landscapes\, portraits\, street scenes\, and wildlife – but the heart of the exhibition is firmly rooted in Wellington. Our members have drawn inspiration from the beauty and variety of our own backyard: dramatic coastlines\, majestic mountains\, vibrant cities\, and the small\, fleeting details that make life unique. \n \nWe are also proud to display images created during our group meet-ups\, workshops\, and learning sessions. These gatherings are at the heart of what we do as a society\, offering members the chance to connect\, experiment\, and grow their photographic skills in a supportive and friendly environment. The exhibition is therefore more than just a showcase of individual work – it’s a reflection of the shared learning\, encouragement\, and passion that our community thrives on. \nVisitors can expect to see a wide range of styles and techniques\, from classic black-and-white to bold digital artistry. Whether you are a seasoned photographer\, someone with a casual interest in the medium\, or simply curious to see the world through a different lens\, there will be something here to inspire you. \nOpening Night: 29th September\, 7pm (private event\, by invitation only)\nPublic Viewing: 30th September onwards\nOpening Hours: 10am – 6pm most days\, extended to 8pm on Friday/Saturday \nWe warmly invite you to join us\, explore the exhibition\, and experience the world as seen through the eyes of our members. Who knows – you may even feel inspired to pick up a camera yourself and consider becoming part of the Wellington Photographic Society. \nOpening night\nMonday\, 29 September | Time 7pm | Thistle Hall\, 293 Cuba St\, Te Aro\nPlease come and join us to celebrate the creative photos of your fellow club members and yourself – family and friends are welcome. Finger food and refreshments will be available. \nGallery roster\nWe are looking to establish a roster of volunteers to man the gallery during weekday afternoons and during the weekends. Please contact the committee via comms@wps.org.nz if you can volunteer.
