Explore the world through a new lens and witness the skills of the region’s photographers at Biyal-a Armstrong Creek Library.

The library will host Geelong Camera Club’s Foto Show until September 3 for the community to see award-winning images and learn about what goes on behind the camera.

Committee member Bob Medwell said the free event was a great chance to display the best work from the Greater Geelong photographers.

“There’s about 45 photos covering just about every genre including landscape, portraits, altered reality, landscapes, macro and super macro,” he said.

“We tried to get a selection of genres across all elements, including aerial photography, by both drones and from planes, so we have everything from the ground up.

“I love to see the reaction of people when they see the photos and the artistic aspect of the images, along with the skills of the photographers, shows a great level of imagination.

“I personally like landscapes and how they demonstrate the power of nature, so it really helps you to see the world around you a lot different and pay more attention to elements of the natural world.”

Mr Medwell said the exhibition was also a chance for the community to uncover a new interest or hobby in photography through the camera club.

The exhibition will also feature Geelong Camera Club’s A-Grade print of the year, titled ‘Wild Horses’ by Shelley McKiernan, a landscape print showcasing the movement and colour of the ocean.
