On Thursday 22nd May Dr Charles Ashton will be sharing his varied pictures live in the club room with SPS members and guests alike, concentrating specifically on street photography both at home and in Kathmandu & Dhaka.
Charles is a physician of 40 years experience now moving into retirement. His main photography interests are Documentary, Street and Travel photography including taking opportunities for portraiture when they present themselves.
His observational skills as a physician help him find those human moments. He was not aligned to the F8 school and “rules” of street photography. He believes attention to depth of field, exposure and especially design of the whole frame make a good picture. Above all a picture that precipitates an emotional reaction in the viewer is a success.
“As photographers we need to dare to be different and express ourselves through our images”.
Charles holds the following photographic distinctions FRPS MPAGB EFIAP/Platinum and ABPE.
Starts at 8pm in the club room and on stream
This week’s talk is part of a series of FREE ‘taster’ sessions for local Sandwell community residents and workers (non SPS members or regular guests). If interested do login or better still come along to the live presentation at the clubhouse. Full details below.
