Thursday 28th May Smethwick Photographic Society will be welcoming Peter Brisley.
Since joining his local camera club as a rookie in the early noughties, Peter has ploughed his own furrow and developed a particular style, which owes everything to the ability to interpret the scene as he wishes. He prefers to avoid the pressures and controls of competition, finding fulfilment instead in the creation of photobooks and in participating in solo and group print exhibitions. Peter’s work has been selected for both the London Salon and PAGB Masters of Print. A long-term Fotospeed Ambassador, he is a busy presenter on the camera club circuit and also an experienced judge.
FREEWHEELING
This projected image presentation showcases Peter’s fine art approach to photography, and will also include a display of his mostly monochrome prints. He will review some of the personal highlights of his photographic journey and consider what factors – personal, technical or completely serendipidous – contributed to the magic of the moment. Wide-ranging subject matter includes: demons and deities of Japan, moonboats of Bangladesh, tribal people of Angola and Ethiopia, not to mention a monochrome take on Kenyan wildlife and some other-worldly infra-red images of the Nile Valley.
Here’s a selection of what we can expect from Peter:
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.
