Thursday 16th May: We have Erica Oram.

Erica has had a keen interest in photography since the late 1990’s, originally working exclusively in colour slides before moving into digital photography relatively late compared to many. She is a member of Sheffield Photographic Society, Gamma Photoforum and the London Salon of Photography, and also an active camera club lecturer and a PAGB accredited judge. 

Her photography is mostly centred around landscape, pictorial and street photography.

This talk, ‘The View From Here’, is about making the most of limited time for photography and will bring together images from the last decade of Erica’s work including some new images. Erica enjoys the challenge of finding less obvious subjects and compositions both in relatively ‘everyday’ situations and places and further afield.  She likes to use her photography to make a personal interpretation of ‘whatever is in front of me’, always looking to make an interesting image out of something ordinary rather than make an ordinary image out of something interesting.

Smethwick members and guests will get a rare insight into Erica’s personal point of view.
