Photography fans urged to vote for favourite image at gallery

A London gallery has called on photography fans to choose which images should be used on its new range of products.

Viewfinder Photography Gallery launched The Shoot Out competition to find which images its visitors would like to see adorning sketchbooks and notepads in its first line of merchandise. 

Nearly all the images are from photographers who have exhibited at the Greenwich gallery and include a street graffiti scene and a self-portrait on a jellyfish.

Viewfinder curator and director Louise Forrester said: "The Viewfinder Shoot Out is a unique opportunity for the community to get involved in the publishing process.

"We've all experienced the disappointment of coming out of an exhibition and finding that our favourite image isn't featured in the shop - now is the chance to change that and be actively involved in the selection process.

"I'd encourage everyone to get online and influence our brand new range of products - which will make really lovely Christmas presents!"

People can vote online or on posters at the gallery and polls are open until November 27. 

The books will be hand-covered with the winning images by bookbinder Riikka Kassinen, whose photograph appeared in the gallery's Not Performing exhibition earlier this year.

The new range will then go on sale from December 11, both online and in the gallery. Other products featuring the winning images are set to launch in 2009.

The Viewfinder Photography Gallery is a not-for-profit space at Linear House, Peyton Place, Greenwich, which hosted its first exhibition in 2005. The gallery is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm and on weekends from 12 noon to 4pm.
