Next Wednesday, 5 May, we will be welcoming Emma Delves-Broughton FRPS, who will be presenting her talk entitled Deadly - Photographs by Emma Delves-Broughton Photography
Deadly is a personal project by photographer Emma Delves-Broughton. The models are styled as mythological creatures and goddesses who have an 'other worldly' quality - beautiful but deadly…Emma gained a Fellowship with the Royal Photographic Society in 2018 for her ‘Deadly’ images. Lots of planning went into each look prior to pressing the shutter.
Emma has not only taken the photographs, she also styled the models and their surroundings, or found suitable locations for outdoor shoots, planned and applied the make-up, built wigs and hairpieces, and made many of the props, including some of the clothing. Emma’s photographs have been published since the nineties and have appeared in many magazines, within a range of glossy coffee table books and on the numerous book covers. Collectors buy Emma’s work to hang on their walls. Emma's website is worth a look to give a taste of what is to come. www.emmadelvesbroughton
BPS member, Gerry Gill, has been out and about with his camera (how many of you remember what they are?) and captured this seasonal shot.
Not The Print Competition
Last week the results of the Not The Print Competition, which was judged by Pete McCloskey FRPSwere published. Unfortunately there was a communication hitch twixt judge and Competition Secretary which resulted in an HC for Ann Mead being omitted from the list. Ann's image Rose Chaffer Eating Thistle should have been credited with an HC in the Advanced section. The updated League Table is reproduced below:
Salon acceptances:BPS photographers are now achieving large numbers of salon acceptances and constraints on time and space mean we can't include them all. So please only advise of awards or other milestones.
Contrary to popular belief, I do not possess psychic powers and need you to tell me if you've had successes. If you want to blow your own trumpet (or someone else's), then this is the place to do it. Please let me know and I'll include details in a future issue.
