On Thursday 3rd September Smethwick Photographic Society will be welcoming back Alistair How as he presents his creative approach to creating themed panels of photos live in the clubhouse.
Alistair How has had a life long interest in photography and the outdoors, starting his career at Kodak after studying Geography at Southampton University. He is a freelance photographer in a number of genres. In particular sport, documentary, travel and landscape.
He is a keen club photographer and member of Otley CC, Gamma and was president of Harrogate Photographic Society for their 101st year in 2023/24 season and was asked to be president again for 2024/25. In September 2025 he was appointed as a trustee of The Royal Photographic Society. He is a judge both locally within the Yorkshire Photographic Union and nationally and an assessor for BPE and international salons.
Based in North Yorkshire he is right on the doorstep of a number of photographic hot spots, but also travels far and wide looking for new locations and opportunities. His work has been recognised by various bodies including awards at the Yorkshire Photographic Union, FIAP, BPE and publications in Outdoor Magazine and the RPS.
