Huddersfield Photo-Imaging Club with Kirklees Council is this year hosting the Annual Exhibition of the Yorkshire Photographic Union (YPU) which will showcase the talents of amateur photographers from clubs across the County.
The Annual Exhibition will be displayed in Huddersfield Art Gallery from 13 May to 2 September 2017.

All framed prints have been hung to a professional standard by Kirklees Council gallery staff.
