| ASPECTS OF CONTEMPORARY PHOTOGRAPHY by Geoff Hicks LRPS Our opening speaker should provide an enjoyable and thought-provoking evening. What is contemporary photography? Geoff says it's as much about what it isn't as what it is: it's about the story behind the image; how images together mean more than images on their own; it isn't about making images that will win competitions, or that look pretty, or "pleasing", or that people want to hang on their walls. Maybe you are none the wiser but Geoff says that this talk will, "through audio visual presentations, digital images, print sets and one or two other rather unusual presentations, help you to see what I mean. Or not, probably." See www.geoffhicksphotography.net |

Concentrating on the British coastline, this talk shows how photography is used to record changes in our environment, to depict humour, enjoy natural history or create art for the walls etc. The images show a wide variety of different camera techniques and lenses and how different processing and printing techniques can transform images. Above all, it suggests good locations that anyone can visit and enjoy. She has a great website at www.pin-sharp.co.uk |
