Events

This month we are very pleased to welcome Simon Fremont, Regional Organiser of The Royal Photographic Society, East Anglia Team.  Simon will be covering its history and purpose, as well as the benefits of membership including mentoring, events, exhibitions, networking, and internationally recognised qualifications known as Distinctions.  He will outline the Distinction journey that begins with Licentiate (LRPS), demonstrating technical competence and visual control and Associate (ARPS) that recognises a cohesive body of work with clear intent and strong visual awareness.  Finally, he will discuss becoming a Fellow (FRPS) which is the highest distinction, awarded for a sustained, distinctive, and accomplished body of work that reflects professional-level practice. The presentation will include examples of successful panels at each of the three stages of the Distinctions journey.

The evening will conclude with members showing their images inspired by the presentation last month.

This month we are very pleased to welcome Shelley Nott, a local photographer, who recently had a successful exhibition in the Ballroom Arts Gallery in Aldeburgh.  The subject of her presentation is Still Life and the Art of Slow Photography.  Her talk will be based around the theme of getting the most out of natural light.  Her practice is influenced by the Dutch Masters of the 17th and 18th centuries who used window light so beautifully.  She will illustrate how best to harness this most unreliable of light sources.
