Volunteer Photographer Opportunity - Ealing Heritage Lottery Fund Projects

Time Lapse Photography VolunteerEaling Council is managing programmes of redevelopment and restoration in Walpole Park, PM Gallery & House, Gunnersbury Park and Gunnersbury Park Museum aided by Heritage Lottery Fund grants.We want to document the changes to the four sites throughout the projects by taking regular, seasonal photographs of key areas.The first site to undergo capital works will be Walpole Park. Close to the centre of the borough in Ealing itself, this park was formerly the historic garden of Pitzhanger Manor, the country home of John Soane, the late 18th century architect who designed the Bank of England and other famous London landmarks. Soane’s townhouse in Lincoln’s Inn Fields is now an important London museum and houses his eclectic and influential collection of artwork and other cultural artefacts, including paintings by Hogarth.Role DescriptionPurpose of RoleVolunteers will take photographs of key areas of the four Heritage Lottery Funded sites as works progress.Range of key tasks and opportunities1. Take high quality photographs according to exact specifications2. Document changes to sites as seasons change and capital works progress3. Link photographs to historic views of the sites, contributing to the legacy of the projects and heritage of the sitesRequirementsVolunteers should have good interpersonal skills and be confident to talk informally to members of the public about the activities they are involved in and how they contribute to the developments of the sites.The ability to take clear, high quality photographs is necessary and photographic training is preferred.Camera can be provided but volunteers with their own equipment would be welcome!CommitmentWe would be aiming to photograph the sites on a monthly basis, therefore volunteers would need to be available once a month for half a day in the first instance.
