Join us on Sunday 07 June from 1.30pm to celebrate the launch of, INTO THE TREES by photographer Jo Stapleton, curated by Karen Harvey and published by Shutter Hub Editions.

INTO THE TREES is an expressionist photographic account of Jo’s interactions with trees and woodland, later remembered and reimagined in the darkroom using a range of alternative processes and techniques.

Drinks and canapés will be served from 1.30pm before the formal launch event at 2pm, including a book signing and interview discussion between Karen and Jo about the making of the book and the role photography has to play in helping to protect our wildlife and green spaces.

To celebrate the launch of the book, Jo has produced a limited-edition cyanotype print to accompany signed copies of INTO THE TREES available for sale on the day.

Meet Jo and Karen and take an opportunity to explore this unique urban nature park, a former coal drop site, rewilded by nature and saved by the London Wildlife Trust from redevelopment. Take inspiration from INTO THE TREES, to take your own creative wander around this woodland and wetland area – a vital habitat for wildlife in the heart of the city.  With or without a camera.

“If a tree falls in the forest and there’s nobody there to hear it, did it make a sound? Of course it did. And if Jo Stapleton was there to capture the moment, there would be a visual symphony of light, shape and form to follow”

We’d love you to join us to help us to celebrate the launch of the book and our fantastic Shutter Hub community.

Please RSVP by emailing info@shutterhub.org.uk by 5pm on Friday 29 May. See you there!
