SUMMARY:Eileen Rafferty - Learning the Language of a Photograph (Free Talk - World Photography Week)
DESCRIPTION:Eileen couldn’t make last week but we’re delighted to announce that we’ve re-arranged our schedule to feature her this week! Thanks Eileen… \nMaster the language of photography – learn to articulate what makes images work and transform your ability to critique and improve your own. \n(As well as access to the live event\, you will automatically receive a link to the recording\, valid for 28 days) \nAs photographers we love looking at photographs. Quite often we instinctively know what we like and don’t like about an image. But can we articulate this in words? Why is this important? \nUnderstand the key principles used to analyse photographs\, showing how composition\, light\, subject matter\, visual relationships and intention contribute to the success of an image. \nLearn to effectively explain what you like or dislike\, to help you look more deeply at both your own work and that of others. \nEileen Rafferty is an artist whose work combines a lifelong study of photography to create mixed media\, drawings and photographs. She is the Photographer/Videographer for the Montana Museum of Art and Culture in Missoula\, Montana\, and teaches graduate courses in Museum Studies. Eileen is also a freelance videographer/editor and owns a Creative Consulting business guiding clients in nurturing a creative life. She earned her BS in Human Physiology and an MFA in Photography/Film. Her artwork is influenced by Japanese literature and art\, and botanicals from her garden.

SUMMARY:Sandra Dann - My Journey... One Texture At A Time

SUMMARY:Margaret Soraya – From Project to Print: Exhibiting and Making a Book
DESCRIPTION:See how working towards an exhibition or photobook can give your photography greater purpose\, direction\, creative depth and lasting impact. \n\n\n(As well as access to the live event\, you will automatically receive a link to the recording\, valid for 28 days) \n\n\nDiscover how setting a clear end goal can change the way you approach a photographic project\, encouraging you to look more closely\, work more thoughtfully and develop a deeper connection with your subject. \n\n\nDrawing on three major projects – Margaret Soraya – Quiet\, Within Hebridean Seas and Shaped by the Sea – Margaret will share how she consciously worked towards an exhibition while creating a photobook alongside it. \n\n\nSee how the discipline of preparing work for an exhibition influences what and how Margaret photographs\, the decisions she makes as a project develops\, and how creating a carefully considered book can give the work a life\, long after the exhibition has closed. \n\n\nMargaret will also explore how her latest project developed beyond photography to incorporate painting and poetry\, and how bringing other forms of creative expression into a project can open up new ideas and possibilities for your own photography. \n\n\nWhether you have an existing photographic project or simply an idea you would like to develop\, this talk offers a fascinating insight into taking a body of work from its first beginnings through to exhibition and print. \n\n\nMargaret Soraya is a professional photographer based in Geocrab on the Isle of Harris in the Outer Hebrides. She has photographed the Hebridean landscape for more than sixteen years and now owns and runs her own gallery. During her 22-year professional career\, Margaret has held multiple solo exhibitions and published four books\, most recently Shaped by the Sea\, launched alongside her June 2026 exhibition. She also leads photography workshops and creative retreats on Harris and founded the biennial Creative Light Festival. Her work explores place\, solitude and the Hebridean sea.
