2. Email. To Whom It May Concern, My name is Abigail Glover and I am a student at the University of West England, Bristol. I am emailing you on behalf of my study group to see if I can get an insight into a certain aspect of being a photographer. I was interested to know if you ever funded photographers or could help us to expand our knowledge on how to gain funding as a documentary photographer? If you could please help us, or point us in the right direction that would be great. Many thanks, Abigail Glover

6. Cut Fundings. Funds across the UK are being cut for photography in galleries. “ In March 2011, Side Gallery in Newcastle, Pavilion in Leeds, Four Corners Film in east London and the Hereford Photography Festival were dropped from Arts Council England's National Portfolio, losing, as a result, the bedrock of their funding for the following three years. ”Side GalleryPavilionFour Corners FilmHereford Photography Festival Could this be the result in less commissions and less funding for photographers?
