In our April meeting we showed work on the theme of Time. We had some imaginative interpretations showing the passage of time from a few seconds, hours or years to more conceptual abstract notions of time. Literal interpretations included images of clocks, both real and artistic depictions, at various times of the day and pictures [...]

Our theme for the month was the different ways of Combining Photographs. There was a diverse selection of images on show – from diptychs to sequences and series, double exposures, collages and video; It was interesting to see how the pairing of photographs could sometimes set up conversations with each other, becoming more than the [...]

As a natural progression from our roundup of the previous year’s work which took place last month, this time we focused on looking forward and discussing plans for future work and projects. A variety of projects already under way were shown and we discussed experimenting with new ways of working as some people felt that [...]

Our January meeting continued where we left off before Christmas with part 2 of My Photographic Year. The range of work shown was just as varied and inspirational as in the previous meeting – portraiture, documentary, still life and abstract – with some fine and unusual examples of experimentation.

As usual, there were as many different choices and reasons for them as there were people! Some people had particular [...]

The theme from our last meeting was our own personal photographic journey – how we reached our current stage of photographic practice and the various points along the way. This turned out to be a very popular topic with a number of new faces turning up to discuss how their photography had progressed over the [...]

There was a very good turnout for our last meeting where members were invited to submit 2 images for inclusion in an anonymous slideshow, organised and led by Katrin Nodop. Each image was subsequently discussed in terms of subject matter, composition, technical merits and emotional impact. It was generally agreed that anonymity was a positive [...]

Our topic in the last meeting was Focusing on a Theme or Project and there was a good variety of work shown from prints to digital media. Some projects were complete or in their final stages – the fruit of long periods of hard work and commitment. Others were at the planning stage or just [...]
