Head On
It's back for its 10th year, and LAATE has a long list of exhibitions they need to see this year.
if you haven't attended or know what Head On is. here is a quick spoiler.
Head On Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the work of photographers at all stages of career. All submitted works are judged without names or pedigrees emphasising the merit of the photograph.
The foundation believes that all photo-artists need a fair chance to show their work, and Head On collaborates with a series of venues both locally and internationally to put on workshops, exhibitions and meet and greets.
So with every picture having a story to tell, Head On acts as a nomadic host for many artist that wish to raise awareness of important issues through photography.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST !!!! (great if your a Newcastle Local)
DR ELLA DREYFUS : UNDER TWENTY SEVEN Part 3 of DR Ella Dreyfus series that documents a group of young men every seven years, observing them as they evolve from childhood into early adulthood and beyond. We find this interesting because these images address concepts of masculinity and question the status quo on representation of young men.
