Point "N" Shoot — jamesarthurallen

“Point & Shoot” is the result of a collaborative project with Campus Skateparks and Bath Spa University. With the aim of bringing artists and skateboarders together, Point & Shoot was held in July 2024 – incorporating free skate sessions and tuition for the local community, alongside photography talks with local Bristol photographers Chris Hoare and James Griffiths. The day was documented by photographer James Allen using a West-African-inspired portrait studio.

Taken on a traditional large format camera, a selection of these images have been installed into the skate park as part of a free exhibition. Founded in 2011 – with diversity and inclusivity at the core – Campus Skateparks is a Bristol based, skater owned, not-for-profit organisation that uses the positive energy and influence of skateboarding to engage with children and young people.
