Hello, Firstname |
 |
|
Next Wednesday our speaker will be Dave Fieldhouse who will talk about his growth as a photographer over the last 10 years. Dave says the following about his talk:
It is ten years since I first picked up a camera, and for the first six of those years I spent most of my time composing images that contained little or no sign of human life, let alone humans. I was very much a Landscape Photographer and not in the slightest concerned with shooting anything but.
|
|
However, this had its downfalls and limitations, and due to the constraints of circumstance, mixed with a little desperation, I started to shoot people.
This isn't as drastic as it sounds, but by opening my mind a fraction, a whole new world of creative opportunities appeared. My talk reflects on this lesson in diversity, and delves into the world of street photography and the urban landscape. I will touch on the law, ethics and styles, along with sharing some of my inspirations along the way.
Why not see more of Dave's work by looking at his website

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
|
If you have any photographic items for sale, drop me a line and I'll include it in the next newsletter. Please make sure that you provide contact details, price and full description of the sale items (pictures always help). |
IMPORTANT: Personal Detail Changes |
Please don't forget that if you change your address (home or email), or gain additional photographic distinctions, it would be appreciated if you could let the Membership Secretary know so that she can keep her records up to date, this will also ensure that you continue to receive your newsletters - please email all changes to membership@bristolphoto.org.uk.
The distinctions we have on record are those shown at the top of this newsletter, please remember, if you don't tell us we can't possibly know!
