On Thursday 9th October Smethwick Photographic Society and guests will be treated to:-
“Urban Night Photography” with night photography expert Alistair How.

Alistair has had a lifelong interest in photography starting his career at Kodak after studying Geography at Southampton University.

A keen amateur photographer he returned to more serious photography during covid and became president of Harrogate Photographic Society for the 101st year in 2023/24 season and was asked to be president again for 2024/25. 

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 photographic interests include almost every genre. He runs a number of landscape workshops in the UK and beyond, has a passion for street and architectural photography and is a regular sports photographer for Leeds Knights Ice Hockey and Harrogate Town AFC.

He judges locally within the Yorkshire Photographic Union and also nationally as a PAGB judge. He also provides talks for Camera Clubs and Societies throughout the year.

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.

In fact just recently Alistair was appointed trustee of the RPS.

Starts at 8pm in the CLUBROOM and on the new stream system for those not able to attend.

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.
