After the great success of our previous two Manchester editions, Redeye is very pleased to announce the expansion of Hothouse into Yorkshire. Hothouse Bradford will be an exciting day of photography, a showcase of creative talent and a hive of photographic activity and information, delivered in association with Impressions Gallery.
Throughout the day there will be short presentations from photographers about their recent work and projects. If you have a project or body of work you would like to talk about, whether it’s complete or a work in progress, we would love to hear from you. For details on how to apply please see further information below.
In addition to the presentations there will also be the opportunity to look through these and other photographic portfolios, and photography books.
Everyone is welcome – you just need to register (below). You can bring your own book or portfolio – just let us know when you register.

Further information
Who should come on the day
Whether you have a passion for new photography, want to find out about some exciting emerging photographers, or would like the opportunity to meet and network with photographers, enthusiasts and industry professionals, this event aims to have something for everyone.
Showing your book or portfolio
There are two options for showing your book or portfolio. There's an open table on which you can leave your published or self-published book for others to browse. While there will be Redeye staff nearby, the table is not permanently staffed and so we advise you not to leave unique books or anything of significant value. The other option is to be on hand to talk to visitors about your book or portfolio. We will provide a limited number of tables for this purpose. Spaces at these tables are first come, first served. The doors will open at 10:00. If you would like to bring a portfolio, please email Adam Lee at adam@redeye.org.uk ahead of the day.
