‘Our places of Worship’ was the title for Whanganui Camera Club’s annual members’ week-long exhibition, which this year featured churches around the city. Local clergy, guests and photographers came together for the official opening on 6 October.
Three photos of St Mary’s Catholic Church were among the 40 selected as framed prints for display from over 2,000 images entered.
Around 70 churches in the Whanganui region were approached for the project. Club members said they were impressed with the positive response and opportunities to photograph church interiors as well as exteriors.
‘Photographers are naturally attracted to churches due to their aesthetic appeal,’ camera club president John Smart said.
In a spirit of ecumenism, representatives of each church exhibited were in awe of the 24 club members’ expertise and respect for capturing the sacred beauty of their churches.
All prints entered for the exhibition will be archived in the Alexander Heritage and Research library – Te Renenga mai o te Kauru.
