Let us introduce our first photographer that’ll feature in Volume 3: Home.

Introducing Leon Lau, a Hong Kong based photographer.

Leon says -

Home is often the place we know best - the everyday scenes we pass by so naturally that we rarely pause to process them. Because it is so deeply familiar, it almost fades into the background of our consciousness.

Through double / multiple exposures, I wanted to blur these everyday routines and familiar landscapes, reflecting how “home” becomes a soft, subconscious memory rather than something we actively overthink.

Leon.. welcome to the Clwb.

The book launch and accompanying exhibition happens here at Clwb Ffoto on November 12th, 6pm until 8pm.

We’ve got a desk available upstairs at the Clwb.

We’re looking for the right person to take it.

Ideally someone working in the creative industries who fancies making Clwb Ffoto their base for a few days a week.

You’ll have your own desk and little working space, along with use of the shared upstairs area, sofas, our photobook library and space for the odd meeting.

We’re thinking 3 days a week at £175 a month.

More than anything, we’d just like someone who fits the place. It’s relaxed here, there’s usually good company, plenty of photography and the occasional game of darts.

If it sounds like your sort of thing, drop us a message and come in for a coffee and a look around.

JOIN US - SEPTEMBER 24TH.

We’re back!

The next Clwb Exchange takes place on Thursday 24th September at Clwb Ffoto.

Bring along a print, no bigger than A3 (this is important), put it on the table and swap it for somebody else’s. If you’ve attended one before, you know the concept. If not, it’s fun so come along.

No competition, no judging, just photographers getting together, sharing work and going home with someone else’s print.

This one is completely free to attend.

And if you need a print for the Exchange, I’m offering a little discount on all A3 prints..

30% OFF prints ordered before this weekend.

15% OFF prints ordered after that.

Drop us a DM now for print details.

So pick a photograph you love, get it printed and bring it along.

Come along, have a drink, meet some photographers and swap some work.

24th September, 6pm until 8pm.

We’ll see you then.

Join us at the gallery on 10th October for the opening of ‘Gravity’ by Owen Pritchard.

This project sets sculpture against contemporary photographs of the human form, tracing how the body has been represented from chisel to lens. Pritchard began by photographing sculptures in museum collections, drawn to their stillness and the way they were lit. He then turned the same eye on real bodies and the processes undertaken by sculptors and cast makers. The “perfect” forms of sculpted bodies sit against the fallible, tangible forms of the people photographed, each throwing the other into relief. Gravity is the force that shapes both skeleton and sculpted stone, and it gives the project its title.

Owen Pritchard is a photographer, writer and critic based in Newport. He trained as an architect at Nottingham University and took part in the 2012 Venice Architecture Biennale before moving into writing and photography. He has written for The Guardian, Blueprint, Icon Magazine, Apollo and The Architects’ Journal, and held editorial roles at It’s Nice That and Magnum Photos.

Opening night is always a good one. Drinks, conversation, a first look at the exhibition, and we’d love you to join us.

Join us from 6pm until 8pm.

A small change of plan.

Our next exhibition and book launch, originally planned for September 2nd, will now take place in November.

Sometimes life and work get in the way, and over the last few weeks it became clear that I simply couldn’t give this project the time and attention it deserves without rushing it.

And we don’t really do rushed around here.

Anyone who follows what we do at Clwb Ffoto knows how much care goes into our exhibitions, books and launches. I’d much rather move the date, take a little more time and do this properly than compromise on something that deserves better.

I’ve spoken with all of the photographers involved and, thankfully, they completely understand and are happy to wait. If anything, I think the extra time is only going to make the exhibition and book stronger.

So, not cancelled. Just postponed.

Sometimes things don’t quite align when you expect them to. Eventually they do.

New date coming soon. November 2026.

What an incredible couple of days with the Falmouth students.

We started in Cardiff with a visit to National Museum Wales to spend some time with David Hurn’s incredible print-swap archive, specially arranged for us by our good at the museum, James Milne 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿.

And what an archive it is. Original prints by Sebastião Salgado, Steve McCurry, Tish Murtha, Don McCullin, Bill Brandt, Robert Frank.. the list goes on. To be able to stand there and see these photographs as physical prints, up close and away from the pages of books, was pretty special.

We also had the chance to see clementine.schneidermann brilliant ‘Ffasiwn’ exhibition while we were there. We highly reccomend a visit if you’re in the area.

Then yesterday, we had the absolute privilege of spending time with David Hurn himself.

Handwritten letters from Henri Cartier-Bresson, contact sheets from his time photographing The Beatles, and stories from a lifetime spent making photographs.. casually dropping knowledge and experience bombs throughout.

There are some things you simply can’t learn from books or classrooms. Sitting with David, looking through the physical traces of photographic history and listening to him talk about the work, is one of them.

A pretty special two days.

Huge thanks to James Milne 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿, and to the Falmouth students for being such a great bunch to spend time with.
