InstaChimps are a group of photographers based in Lincolnshire who use smartphones to create images. The group functions through a vibrant online presence, with a varied programme of events and competitions happening throughout the year. The group’s first ever exhibition, called “Hip 2B Square” will be at Lincoln’s Central Library, between the 1st and 15th September 2012. The group believe that this will be first smartphone photography exhibition of its kind to be held in Lincolnshire.
Miles Winterburn, the founding member of the InstaChimps Group, said:
“This exhibition is really exciting for us, being the first one we have pulled together since the group started earlier this year. We also believe that this is one the first mobile phone photography exhibitions be held in Lincolnshire and probably the Midlands. We have a lot of talented image makers within the group, and we wanted to promote not only this talent through the exhibition, but the existence of the group to new members.
“All the images on display at the exhibition have been shot and edited with an iPhone or other smartphones. This is a fast growing and creative medium, helped by the cutting edge technology and apps that modern mobile phones offer the visually creative of Lincolnshire."
The group will be holding an official exhibition launch at Lincoln Central Library, on Free School Lane in Lincoln, on Saturday 1st September 2012 between 1.00pm & 3.30pm. The exhibition will be open from Monday 3rd until Saturday 15th September. Exhibiting members would like to welcome everybody along to the official launch event, to browse and comment on the images and exhibition.
