The board of Photomobile have made the difficult decision to close the doors of Photomobile and to dispose of and re-distribute its assets – it was a hard decision to make but a combination of funding challenges, changing regulations for vehicles and trailers, and personal circumstances for the directors (being volunteers), led us here.

We would like to thank all the arts, community and educational institutions who have brought us in to work with them over the years and also thank the many volunteers who made all this possible.

This website will stay online, as a legacy, until early 2023 and the team behind Photomobile are all still involved in photography, of course, so if you’re looking for some guidance or delivery, we might still be able to help, either directly or signposting you – so stay in touch…

The Company ceased trading in summer 2019, once a home had been found for its digital equipment (at the Open Eye Gallery, Liverpool), analogue darkroom kit and remaining funds (with the Obscura Darkroom, Blackburn).

What is Photomobile?

Photomobile is a Camera obscura, giant pinhole camera, darkroom and mini-digital suite – with a team of trained, enthusiastic staff – all in a mobile trailer.
