Despite the bitter Arctic weather we had a very good turn-out for our February meeting. Our topic for the evening was Selection – how we choose what we photograph, how framing and composition can affect the meaning and reading of an image. Chris Tribble showed images from work-in-progress for the London Villages Project, involving a [...]
Our first meeting of the new year got off to a flying start last week – many thanks to all those who attended and contributed. The topic was Out With the Old and In With the New – a chance to evaluate our past achievements and start thinking about future projects. The work shown featured [...]
Our topic for the December meeting was ‘When does a technical flaw or weakness invalidate a photographic image’. This produced another interesting discussion. One of the ideas emerging was that where composition is sufficiently strong this can sometimes carry an image, in spite of some technical limitations to its quality. For example Brendan Delaney’s photograph [...]
There was a large turn-out for our November meeting where the subject of crossing the line in photography was discussed. It very soon became clear that everybody’s line was drawn in the sand in a different place – what one person felt unhappy photographing, another wouldn’t bat an eyelid when pressing the shutter release! It [...]
Our October meeting carried on where we left off last month with the theme of ‘inspiration’. A number of people showed work demonstrating their inspiration – Chris Tribble finds his in the intensity of the gaze or the exchange of glances in his portraits of people performing, rehearsing or engrossed in watching; Sue Czpaska delights [...]
Inspiration was the topic of the evening at our September meeting and the variety of work on show demonstrated just how wide-ranging and personal it can be. Some of the inspirations motivating the work shown included feelings of alienation in a foreign land; graffiti and textures to be found on the street; inspiration taken from [...]
Our August meeting was very well attended despite the rioting in London that week, and a wide variety of work from projects in progress was shown – see the examples below. Member Edith Templeton gave a most interesting and perceptive review of the current Thomas Struth exhibition at the Whitechapel Gallery, and the feedback from [...]
Some examples of work shown at our July meeting when the group discussed the topic ‘Working on a Project’. A lively debate ensued in which people discussed various approaches to working in this way – from the concentration of a project in a day, long-term projects which require a slower, more reflective pace, or series/collections [...]

Small informal groups meet approximately once a month to discuss each others’ work, plan exhibitions or talk about anything of mutual interest. The structure, content, times, dates, and frequency of the meetings are left to the individual groups to decide for themselves. You are very welcome to phone a coordinator and go to one or two meetings to see whether you enjoy them. Many people find them to be useful sounding boards for developing their own work. You do not necessarily have to choose a group near your home – any member can participate in any group.
