The students, who are all in year 11 at the Speedwell school and completing a GCSE in photography, worked with Bristol-based photographer Ilayda Akarca to create their images, as part of a module around the chosen theme of identity. As part of the project, the students were welcomed as visitors to The Royal Photographic Society and The Martin Parr Foundation.

Using the location of Kings Weston House, the students were tasked with thinking about how they could be represented here, and brought photos of their younger selves to include in their images. The exhibition title, ‘What you can’t see, you don’t know,’ was chosen by the students.
