TEN photographers launched the results of a photography project they took part in called "My Personal View" this past Sauturday, 26 March, 2011 at Nafasi Art Space, Dar es Salaam.

About 50 people came out for the exhibition launch, including Charlotte Haslund-Christensen, the trainer, as well as Didier Martin of the Alliance Francaise, Rachel Kessi of Makutano & Visa2Dance, and Enika.

The project was designed to help photographers discover or re-discover what makes their photographs unique; their point of view.

"Form and balance are rules and can come later; what's important is that each photographer discovers and uses his or her own point of view. That's what will set them apart from others," said Charlotte.

The exhibition is open until 10th April. Please come out and have a look!

Karibuni!
