Interview With Photographer Chloe Jones

What did you think of the photography exhibition?
I think the photography exhibition was really successful; I really enjoyed seeing everyone’s photographs together and everyone was really proud of what we had achieved. Everyone seemed to enjoy having a look around the exhibition and seeing how different people captured the idea of multiculturalism. I think the photographs were all very creative and of a high standard.
Talk about your set of images, and why you chose this theme in relation to Multiculturalism.
I took photographs around the St Patrick’s Day celebrations. There was obviously the main parade day and also the day before where bands and dancers performed in Birmingham. I think the music and outfits really stood out in my pictures and that my images worked well in celebrating the Irish culture.
Which was your favourite picture? (from your set)
My favourite picture from my set was probably the man wearing a very vibrant peacock outfit covered in shamrocks and clovers with the words 'Happy St Patrick’s Day'. I think this image really demonstrated the fun aspect of the parade and the colours really stood out.





What did you think about the event in general?

I enjoyed the overall day, I think the workshops were very successful, particularly the martial arts dancing because it got everybody involved and the people running the workshop were very enthusiastic. My family really enjoyed the day as well.
