On Thursday 25th June Smethwick Photographic Society will be welcoming back one of Britian’s Photography Power couples – Anne Greiner & Rod Wheelans. And good friends of SPS!
Photography couple Rod & Anne will be talking through their many print images taken while holidaying far and wide, most recently in Armenia.
Anne Greiner is an active member of Dumfries Camera Club and her work has contributed significantly to their wide-ranging success in National and Inter-Club competitions. She is one of only a few people who have achieved the Credit, Distinction and Master Award of the PAGB. Anne is a PAGB Listed judge. She has judged many International Exhibitions but never a club competition! She is a member of the London Salon.
Rod Wheelans joined the Dumfries club in 1983 and has served as their President three times. He has been a member of the SPF Executive for more than 25 years and has been SPF President. He joined the PAGB Executive in 1990 and served as President 2005-2007 and is now their Hon. Life Vice President. He organised and chaired the PAGB Inter-Club Print Championship from its inception in 1997 until 2016, the PAGB GB Cup from its inception in 2008 to 2015 and currently the Masters of Print, now in its 10th year, but he considers his most important contribution to be as non-voting Chairman of the PAGB Awards for Photographic Merit. Rod also produces the PAGB e-news
Rod has previously been a member of the RPS Council and has served on the Associate and Fellowship Panels for Visual Art, Photo Travel and Professional & Applied.
Rod is also a member of the London Salon.
Rod has now retired as a successful professional photographer with a busy studio – twice MPA Scottish Portrait Photographer of the Year – but through their professional years he and Anne have never lost their amateur roots, competing and exhibiting widely.
Here’s a selection of what we can expect from both Rod & Anne:
