The LRDA exhibition showcases the work of 10 top emerging photographers, each selected for the varying methods and techniques they use to take a picture.

They have been brought together by aspace, the Southampton based art organisation, to produce work that explores how photography has developed over the years. They not only look at the techniques that have been lost but also the new technology which is taking over.

We all take photos - they are a permanent way to record a moment in time. But is the image we capture on camera a true likeness of the event that occured?

The exhibition raises this question. Cameras are now so advanced that they can adapt automatically to their surroundings; changing shutter speeds, filters and analysing the light to create the perfect, idealised picture.

Digital cameras have taken over in favour of the traditional, film loaded cameras and the photographers also look at how this has an effect on the images. These days, the camera can most definitely lie!
