Photo Scratch is an opportunity for photographers to understand how their work is perceived and gain valuable insight into how to take their projects further with the benefit of a range of perspectives. For the public, Photo Scratch is an opportunity to preview projects in their development stage, offer feedback, and engage in conversations about photography with colleagues in the industry in an informal, welcoming setting.
Each edition centres around the projects of photographers who have applied in advance to share work-in-progress and receive constructive written and verbal feedback from those attending. No one stands at the front presenting, instead everyone is free to roam and encounter the work at their leisure. Feedback forms with a series of open questions about the work create the possiblity for photographers to gather thoughts and ideas about their work anonymously.
Photo Scratch is for UK-based photographers at different stages of their careers to meet, discuss and have open dialogues about their practice in a supportive environment, in order to make meaningful connections, and stronger work.

Photo Scratch is a social enterprise run by a small team of volunteers who help promote events, forge connections, scout photographers, and run each edition. We take on commissioned Guest Edit editions of Photo Scratch to help cover our costs and share our ethos and approach with new audiences.
Photo Scratch was founded by photographers Hanna-Katrina Jedrosz and Phil Le Gal. The first edition took place in January 2016.
Currently Photo Scratch is supported by a team of volunteers including: Hanna-Katrina Jedrosz and Etienne Bruce with support from Jared Krauss and Nicola Muirhead.
