The Fab Collective has captured a year of celebrations for their summer exhibition. Laura Davis reports
At Ladies Day I saw this on a whole new level. There were lots of incredibly glamorous ladies with wonderful outfits turning up at the start of the event.
At the end of the day they came out carrying their shoes. It so common that flipflops were provided at the racecourse for the women to walk home in.
Other members of the Fab Collective, which is made up of a mixture of professional photographers and talented amateurs, have chosen more everyday moments to capture.
Graham Lloyds picture of a busker turns a familiar sight into something special.
I took the picture at the start of last December in Church Street when the Christmas lights had been turned on.
The busker in the shot is always around that area entertaining the shoppers, usually with a decent crowd listening to him and he just stood out against the lights.
At first glance it doesnt look like a busker in the street, it looks more like a performer at a large concert, which for me, makes an everyday situation look different.
The Having a Do exhibition is being held in the ruins of St Lukes Church, on Leece Street the location of Fabs inaugural show last year.
Its an iconic part of Liverpool. We like the fact that its not a traditional gallery space and holding the exhibition there brings some life into the building, says Goodbody.
Sure, it has its challenges holding a photography exhibition in a building with no roof isnt easy but we thrive on a challenge.
We also love working with Urban Strawberry Lunch (the group that runs events at the bombed out church). They do great work for the community, especially the homeless, and for us to be even a small part of that is a great honour.
HAVING a do, the second Fab Collective exhibition, will be held at St Lukes Church, Liverpool, from July 31 to August 31. Open 12-4pm, Thursday to Sunday, depending on the weather.
