Setting up the exhibition in the White Cloth Gallery
by Mike Berriman
From electric storms lighting up the sky over the Danube to insects covered in tiny drops of dew, the work of a Leeds photographer will go on display at the White Cloth Gallery this week.
Oliver Wright is a photographer who captures scenes from around the world but specialises in wildlife shots and ‘macro’ work – close-ups of tiny subjects.
The pictures ready to go up
Oliver said: “The exhibition is of all my photographic work from the last three or four years.
“It’s a complete mixture, from the landscapes of Leeds and Yorkshire, to a snake eating a frog in Costa Rica, to auroras in the Arctic.
“I haven’t been into photography for that long. I got into it through climbing and mountaineering, then I damaged my ankle – and photography took over.”
The exhibition will be held at the White Cloth Gallery on Aire Street in Leeds. The official opening night will be on Thursday July 30, from 7-9. It will run until October 5.
