East Riding College Hosts Exhibition Honoring Photographer Elise Thomas

East Riding College’s Beverley campus is hosting a free exhibition, open to all, celebrating the incredible talent and legacy of Elise Thomas.

Elise was an award-winning young photographer and past Media and Photography student who captured the beauty of wildlife and live music. Elise’s journey began during lockdown on her family farm in Sledmere, where she photographed hares, deer, birds, and other wildlife. Elise’s stunning photo ‘Golden Glow’ won the Under 15 category in the RSPCA Young Photographer of the Year Competition.

Tragically, Elise passed away in August 2023. This exhibition, curated by Christopher Sykes from Sledmere Estate, honours her memory and showcases her remarkable work.  

Elise’s work will be available to purchase, and all money raised with be donated to East Riding College, local Young Farmers clubs, and other worthwhile causes.

The exhibition will be held from Monday 14 April to Thursday 17 April, 10am-3pm at our Beverley Campus.
