SUMMARY:Caroline Preece - Minimalism And Negative Space
DESCRIPTION:Master simplicity—use minimalism and negative space to create striking\, timeless photographs that command attention and elevate your art. \n(Recording available for 14 days) \nExplore what minimalism really means in photography and how it connects to its artistic roots. Caroline will guide you through the history of minimalist art\, showing how the same principles transform photographic composition and storytelling. \nSee how leading photographers use light\, form\, and restraint to produce images with clarity and emotion. Understand the common traits that define minimalist work and how to apply them in your own creative process. \nThe talk also dives deep into negative space — how empty areas within the frame can amplify mood\, meaning\, and balance. You’ll learn to recognise when to subtract rather than add\, and how to let simplicity speak volumes. \nCaroline will share examples across genres\, from landscape to portraiture\, to show how minimalist thinking sharpens vision and strengthens impact. You’ll be inspired to see differently – and to do more with less. \nCaroline Preece seriously discovered photography in 2013 and quickly developed a deep connection to its expressive power. Influenced by masters such as Michael Kenna and Henri Cartier-Bresson\, her work blends simplicity with emotional depth. Her images have been recognised by the Minimalist Photographer of the Year\, International Photography Awards\, and Landscape Photographer of the Year\, and published in FRAMES Magazine. Caroline is a respected judge within SCPF and EAF circuits and a regular speaker across UK camera clubs.

SUMMARY:Photo Tour - India (Rajasthan & Varanasi) with Paul Sansome
DESCRIPTION:Rajasthan is the most colourful Indian State;  and we visit the majestic Taj Mahal\, Amber Fort and Varanasi\, the oldest city in the world. \nPaul aims to provide people with memorable experiences\, good photo opportunities and a great holiday. \nPaul says\, “the emphasis of this trip is photography; I believe that the best photo opportunities are found away from the main tourist sites. \nFor the full itinerary and prices please email: –  roy@myphotoclub.co.uk \nWhilst the tour includes visits to two great buildings\, the incomparable Taj Mahal and the grand Amber Fort\, there is a greater emphasis on the bustling street life of towns like Bundi and Karauli. We complete our trip by going to the unique and extraordinary Varanasi\, a place that cannot be understood without visiting it.” \nTo sumnmarise: – \nWe start our tour in Jaipur\, with an introduction meeting and an initial session of tuition. \nOur first full day will begin with a visit to one of India’s top visitor attractions – The Amber Fort. \nOnto Bundi where much time will be spent in the back streets and the market\, we will also visit some step wells\, or Baoris. \nNext\, Ranthambore National Park\, famous for its Bengal Tigers\, where we have two jeep safari drives. We hope for successful sightings of those majestic animals\, but there are other wildlife and landscape interest in the Park. \nOur next destination is Karauli where we stay in a palace and enjoy fantastic street photography\, as well as some buildings of historic note.  \nWe couldn’t visit this part of India without…. The Taj Mahal ! – One of the Seven Wonders Of The World. Photo visits at dawn and dusk from both within the grounds and across the Yamuna River from the Mehtab Bagh gardens. \nWe had to include an Indian Train experience – our 7-hour express leaves at 06.00 for the amazing city of Varanasi… Paul says\, “I have always enjoyed daytime train journeys in India\, mainly to meet people through the train\, plus the chaotic activity on some of the main stations. Varanasi is both the oldest city in the world and the most important religious site in India. Set on the River Ganges\, it holds a special place for Hindus as dying in Varanasi may allow people to reach Nirvana. As one of the world’s most unique places it provides an unforgettable experience and photography opportunity\, especially along the ghats\, the huge banks of steps along the river. \nWe end the trip in Delhi\, which has some sites that are well worth visiting but we may have limited time\, fitting in with our flights. Paul says “All I can say is that we will try to find something interesting to do with any time available to us.” \nPaul Sansome is one of the UK’s most successful fine art photographers\, selling photography to hang on people’s walls since becoming a professional in 2003. Paul has been Highly Commended in the prestigious Wildlife Photographer of the Year\, has many times featured in Landscape Photographer of the Year and in 2017  won the first of several major awards in the Travel Photographer of the Year competition. For the past 20 years\, Paul has been leading photography holidays each year to countries that include Italy\, Morocco\, Iceland\, Myanmar\, Vietnam and India. \nPaul is always available and the guidance given when alongside someone taking the photographs is probably the most instructive. As well as being attractive to the photographer\, the itinerary will also appeal to people wishing to experience a more in-depth view of the Indian way of life. The Tours attract people with all levels of photography experience.

SUMMARY:Tony Worobiec – Working in Themes
DESCRIPTION:Discover how developing and sustaining photographic themes can help you create more coherent\, ambitious\, and meaningful bodies of work. \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\nMany photographers work image by image\, often influenced by competition culture or the search for individual standout photographs. \n\n\nTony argues that the more you explore a particular subject the more “expert” you become\, leading to deeper engagement and more rewarding results. \n\n\nThematic work encourages patience\, observation\, and a growing sense of authorship\, helping photographers move from recording scenes to interpreting them. \n\n\nCohesive bodies of work are essential when working towards photographic distinctions\, exhibitions\, or publications. Individual images gain greater emotional and graphic impact when part of a larger whole. \n\n\nTony Worobiec is a highly experienced photographer and author of 18 books\, with photography awards in the UK and internationally. His prints have been exhibited in London’s Barbican Gallery\, Bradford’s Museum OF Photography\, The Menier Gallery in London and The Fox Talbot Museum in Lacock.

SUMMARY:Affinity Tuition Sessions with James Ritson (4 workshops)
DESCRIPTION:Mondays 2\, 9\, 16 & 23 March @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm UK (Recordings are available for any missed live sessions – valid until 27th April) \nThis four-part series of workshops has been designed to help photographers build confidence and fluency in the free Affinity application.    \n(As well as access to the live event\, you will automatically receive a link to the recordings\, valid for 28 days after the final session) \nJames will introduce Affinity as a free-to-use\, complete post-processing environment\, explaining its background\, core principles\, and how its tools are designed to support thoughtful\, non-destructive image making. \nThe opening session establishes a practical foundation\, demonstrating essential features such as RAW development\, layers and masking\, HDR merging\, tone mapping\, and image stacking\, alongside a sneak peek at some new functionality being worked on for the next major version. \nThe workshops then move into structured\, end-to-end editing workflows\, showing how to take an image from initial RAW adjustments through careful retouching\, refinement\, and export. Emphasis is placed on maintaining flexibility throughout the process\, using non-destructive techniques that allow creative decisions to evolve without compromising image quality. \nLater sessions explore more specialised and demanding scenarios\, including HDR processing and wildlife photography. James will discuss how to manage tonal complexity\, avoid common pitfalls in high bit-depth editing\, and make considered decisions that strengthen subject emphasis while controlling noise and visual distractions. \nThe final session focuses on low-light imagery\, covering approaches to enhancing detail\, managing colour\, and building depth through dodging\, burning\, and stacking. This leads into Astrophotography and other workflows\, examining how Affinity can be used to process challenging files while retaining subtlety and atmosphere. \nJames Ritson\, part of the software development and research team at Affinity\, is a programmer\, photographer and software specialist with extensive experience working with Affinity for image processing workflows. He is known for his clear\, methodical teaching style and deep understanding of non-destructive editing workflows\, helping photographers develop efficient\, flexible\, post-processing practices grounded in careful observation and creative intent.

SUMMARY:Morag Paterson – Curious Conversations: The Hidden Life Of Forests (And Other Stories)
DESCRIPTION:Understand how curiosity\, experimentation and collaboration can improve and develop your approach to photographing the natural world. \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\nProjects are magical – Morag shares how this project began through conversations and time spent working with a forester and a soil scientist.  \n\n\nThis sparked a curiosity about what might be drifting through the forest atmosphere – spores\, pollen\, dust and other fragments of life – and how a photographer might begin to capture or respond to something so elusive. \n\n\nUsing a mixture of traditional photography and more playful techniques such as intentional camera movement (ICM)\, Morag began exploring ways of working with the images to take them beyond the forest ecosystem. \n\n\nConsider the value of working without fixed outcome\, how slowing down\, embracing uncertainty and allowing space for experimentation can influence both the creative process and the photographer’s relationship with the landscape. \n\n\nMorag Paterson is a Scottish photographer whose practice is driven by curiosity and experimentation. Her recent work exploring forest environments has been developed through interdisciplinary collaboration and has been recognised through selection for the Earth Photo Awards\, with exhibitions shown at the Royal Geographical Society in London and touring nationally across Forestry England and National Trust sites.
