Guernsey’s Photography Festival returns for an 11th year, so what feasts for the eyes should visitors expect?
Artists from across the UK, Channel Islands, and the wider world will be on display at a variety of the island's galleries.
Starting in early October, Uk Artist Paul Reas will take over the Brian White Gallery at Candie.
His works Fables of Faubas focus on the working class for the UK.
He describes the themes behing his work as “the years of decline of industry and the fall out from that, communities being de-centred and levelled”. His work is due to be on display from 3 October through to the end of the year.
Next up is Jessica Bernard, another UK artist, this time one based in London.
Her works are titled 'Team Building' and heavily revolve around her father's experience of workplace bullying, and the subsequent development of schizophrenia.
She will have her works displayed in the Greenhouse Gallery at Candie for a month, starting on 3 October.

The first of the local photographers to take the focus is Estelle Moseley with her pieces titled Equilibrium.
Located at the George Crossan Gallery in the Inner Market, her works explore both the reated and natural world, with themes of spatial perception, isolation and physicality.
They’ll be on display for a month, starting on 3 October.

Tamsin Ferguson is another local artist with work on show, with her 'Polaroid Collection 3' which is also taking place in the George Crossan Gallery.
Her works span five years of polaroid usage herself stating the reason: “I like the permanence of Polaroid. It’s raw, a little unpredictable, and honest.”
It’s on display from 3 October through to 3 November.

Then there’s the work of Tami Aftab, a British Pakistani photographer who works out of London.
Her work 'The Dog’s in the car' is a collaboration between her and her father, who has a unique short-term memory loss.
Aftab explores where lightness can be found in disability and the bond it creates.
Her work is on display at the Gatehouse Gallery at Elizabeth College.
Pictured: Tami Aftab's work is heavily based in family relationships, and how that shifts due to illness and identity.
Lastly Islanders are invited to Photo-Symphony on 18 January at St James Concert Hall.
