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.

On Thursday 15th May Ady Kerry will be sharing his journey in photography with SPS members and guests alike, concentrating specifically on sports editorial work.

Photography has the power to excite, educate, inform, cajole, challenge and influence us.

Quality photography is art. Interpretation and context is integral to the image; the emotion it provokes helps tell the story. These feelings are central to Ady’s work. Ady learnt his skills in the military as a photographer, and has subsequently worked in the commercial marketplace as a freelance for over thirty years, working for many high profile, companies and media organisations.

He’s now employed at De Montfort University in Leicester, as a Technical Instructor, working with students studying fashion styling, developing their photographic skills for future employment in the fashion industry, post graduation.

Honesty and integrity are key elements of Ady’s imagery and these stand at the forefront of his work. In the corporate communications’ sector truthful representation of the company’s image is as vital to their reputation, as it is to his own.

On Thursday 8th May Richard Egan will be sharing his passion for portraiture photography and the creation of fine art with SPS members and guests alike .

The creation of strong fine art nude photographs is often the combination of Skill, Foresight and good Fortune. Richard’s images capture the beauty from portraiture to the female form in both natural and manmade environments.

Working with sensational models and beautiful locations help to create unique images.

Like most great artists Richard has a very personal  style and the ability to use light to the maximum to produce amazing images of the female form

.As the youngest photographer to have achieved a Fellowship from the Royal Photographic Society in portraiture and art nude photography, and is one of only forty six photographers in the world to hold this prestigious distinction within this genre.

To understand how a camera works is one thing, to understand how light works is everything.
