Miniclick curates free talks and discussions, hosts participatory events, workshops and exhibitions and publishes affordable photography books and ‘zines with the remit of being open and accessible to all, experimenting with different ways of looking at images and focusing on stories and ideas instead of kit and cameras.

I recently went to a miniclick talk which was held in Leeds and the Brunswick Pub. Here is where I listened to both Thomas Duffield and Simon Weldon talk about their work which both centred around family and connections.

Simon’s work was centred around his relationship with his dad but also his dads relationship with alcohol and how that affected his family, unfortunately his father passed away mid project however Simon found ways to still include him and their relationship in his photos, below are a couple of my favourite images from his project.

Thomas Duffields work was more obvious at showing a relationship in the family, his project included both him and his grandfather. I loved his ascetics of his images and looked really good as a collection of images, one of my favourites was one where two images were side by side and they swapped clothes and even who was holding the trigger.
