UK charity supporting the art of long-form narrative photography, and promoting education in photography for both emerging professionals and the broader public

We are delighted to announce Rebecca Conway as the winner of the sixth Rebecca Vassie Memorial Award for her proposal 'Torn Water', a project exploring the long-term psychological impact of civil conflict in South Asia: https://t.co/yQt1Khh50j

Highly commended: Richard Gosnold's 'Apostate' sets out to explore the personal impact and aftermath for people leaving high-control religions, working with the charity Faith to Faithless across the UK and Ireland and celebrating individual resilience.

Highly Commended: Kat Wood’s proposal 'A place beyond the fields' seeks to document women farmers in the North of England diversifying into non-agricultural part-time jobs to sustain their land, highlighting the shifting realities and financial precariousness of modern farming.

Later this month we’ll be sharing a collection of Beccy’s own work on Instagram, but for now, we’ll share her memory, and her smile.

[Rebecca Vassie Trust @vassietrust]

Ten years ago, we lost Beccy. It’s hard to believe it’s been a decade, and hard to know what to make of this calendar milestone – if anything. Our photography charity exists for the saddest of reasons.

[Rebecca Vassie Trust @vassietrust]

If you’re reading this, perhaps you’ll take a moment to think about the Beccys in your life – be they family, friend or anything between – and reflect on what you cherish in the people you love.

The Opening is Thursday @Photobookcafe1 - come and join him for a viewing at 7:30pm.

By remapping queerness, diaspora, and family within new spatial-temporal relationships, the series aims to unveil identity as a fragmented experience that continually transforms.
