7.30pm Monday 7th September 2020

POLINA PLOTNIKOVA 'STARTING FROM A BLANK CANVAS'

Part of the evening will be about my approach to flower photography which is somewhat similar to portrait photography: for every flower and plant that I photograph, I always try to find a unique look, study its mood and character, unlock its hidden beauty. In doing so, I neither aim at creating an accurate natural/botanical image, nor try to picture a flower in its natural habitat. What matters is my creative interpretation of a flower image.

DIANE SEDDON 'ODD THINGS'

A photography workshop is something that everyone should attend at least once – and more than once is better if you can afford it.  It is, after all, a place where every attendee is interested in photography, and this is great for discussion, practice and experience.

DAVID BOAG 'THE WORLD OF A WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHER'

This entertaining lecture spans 35 years of photography and takes us to 5 continents.    The questions I am most often asked are about are my  `favourites`!    What are the pictures you are most pleased with - what is the best place you have visited - which subjects do you most enjoy photographing?    These are impossible questions to answer because ones opinion constantly changes.    How can you possibly compare the Queensland tropical rain forest with the desert of Utah; or compare the delicate but vibrant sunbirds with the power and majesty of a bald eagle?    It may be impossible but, in this lecture, I am going to try!    Working my way through my commissions over a span of 30 years, I will bring you right up to date with my latest and most exciting project.

7.30pm Monday 2nd November 2020

JANE LAZENBY 'PAINTBRUSH TO PIXEL'

My creative pathway from my roots as an equine portrait artist through to a successful fine art photographer.

Initially my photography was to fuel the need for good clear reference images for working at my easel. This dynamic began to change as clients requested prints as often as paintings, so accordingly, my respect for the camera grew. I joined a Camera Club and my journey took me through LRPS, CPAGB, LMPA, AFIAP and is now resting just above a BPE3*.
My artwork is now more digital based and hangs in galleries across the UK and Europe, join me on this insightful journey from paintbrush to pixel.
