Estate's pets are captured on camera
As part of the Festival of Chichester, Chichester Community Development Trust, in association with ZeroC Holdings, will present Roussillon Pets, a series of pictures by award-winning animal photographer, D Jun-Yu Low.
Her new photographs, taken of the four-legged residents of Roussillon Park housing scheme, are intimate but unsentimental: a cat peers, uncertainly, out from under a heap of blankets in a furnitureless room; another scentmarks a bunch of crocuses growing in the garden – the only things planted so far; a dog rolls happily on an old living room rug that is reassuringly familiar, from her last home.

The exhibition, which launches on Friday, June 21, is free, but a suggested donation of £1 will be collected for the benefit of Chichester’s RSPCA Mount Noddy Animal Centre.
Head to Roussillon Park’s showhome at 11 Donegall Avenue; limited edition prints will be available, and all profits from the sale of prints go to the same cause.
