# The Photographic Angle

The Photographic Angle is a UK-based charitable organisation dedicated to democratising photography education through free, travelling exhibitions. Based in Dartmouth, TPA transforms empty venues across the country into vibrant photographic galleries, showcasing work from professional, student and amateur photographers alongside technical data, educational information and practical guidance.

The organisation serves a diverse audience including the general public, educational institutions, schools, colleges and universities, as well as photographers seeking exhibition opportunities. By removing admission barriers, TPA makes quality photographic work accessible to everyone, regardless of background or experience level.

What distinguishes TPA is their innovative curatorial approach combined with their educational mission. Rather than operating from a fixed location, they strategically tour curated exhibitions around the UK, each featuring compelling themes such as Monochrome, Architecture, Light in the Lens and their newly launched Capturing Culture theme. Their exhibitions blend large-scale imagery with inspirational content and practical photography tips, effectively bridging art appreciation with skill development.

The organisation actively supports photographers through curated competitions that now feed directly into their catalogues, recognising outstanding work from contributors worldwide. They've established partnerships, including the TPA/RPS Environmental Bursary, fostering meaningful photographic projects with global impact. Their commitment to inclusion extends to providing Welsh language materials at Swansea venues.

TPA welcomes group educational visits and tailors experiences for students, positioning photography as simultaneously an art form, profession and accessible pastime.
