This exhibition showcases images created using ultraviolet (UV) light, which is invisible to most people. Each photograph carries a hidden meaning, much like the unseen light that produced them. The images capture well-loved places and evoke deep feelings.

The techniques featured are known as ‘alternative processes,’ blending ancient photographic methods with digital elements to produce positive images. These methods, which use paper ‘negatives’ and avoid darkroom chemicals, include in-camera cyanotypes, in-camera lumens, lumen photograms and solargraphs

Alan Withington, a photographer who has embraced these techniques over the past five years, presents images that require long exposure times, ranging from 45 minutes to over four months. His work is a response to the fast-paced modern world and the challenges posed by AI to creative authenticity, emphasizing the value of ‘real’ photography crafted with patience and care.
