Georgina Valentine
Georgina has worked as a documentary and portrait photographer for the past 25 years. Her assignments have taken her across the world for charities and international media, with her reportage imagery appearing in magazines, newspapers and exhibitions.
At the heart of Georgina’s photography is a love of capturing people for who they are, whether it’s a timeless family portrait, a memorable travel shot or a journalistic story. Throughout Georgina’s career, she has run photography workshops for individuals, organisations, and groups including a camera club for teenagers in a Nairobi slum. She enjoys helping people build confidence in their photographic skills, and then developing their creativity to achieve frame-worthy images.More recently, Georgina has trained as a Natural Chef and now incorporates food photography into her work – bringing a new flavour to her imagery and teaching.
Your host
New Brewery Arts is Cirencester’s creative heart — a vibrant cultural charity housed in the historic buildings of the former Cirencester Brewery. After the brewery’s closure in 1937, the site fell into disuse and was nearly lost to demolition. Thanks to a visionary local group, two of the remaining buildings were restored and transformed into craft workshops, opening as Cirencester Workshops in 1978. Its mission is to champion craft — making it, learning it, and supporting the people who do it. Its courses, workshops, makers’ studios, 100% UK-made craft shop, and café all contribute to a vibrant creative hub at the heart of Cirencester.
