"Art and Photography" with Andrew Mills
2021-03-17 20:00 - 22:00
An evening held in conjunction with Croydon CC.
Andrew’s description of the talk is :

I don’t have to like it? (Or; “My chimpanzee* could have done that!
No one says you have to like it.
In fact if you like it you may not be getting the whole picture.
Experiencing art and taking a broader view of all the genres of
art and photography can stimulate our own ideas and feelings,
allowing the development of heightened observation and an empathy
with art and expression.
This shouldn’t be confused with “liking it”.
The aim of the “Art and Photography” talk is to introduce some new ideas
and to stimulate old ones, hopefully broadening our thinking of how
we view art and art in photography and the possibilities for our own images.

'Lake District Moods' with Carmen Norman ARPS CPAGB BPE1
2021-04-28 20:00 - 22:00
Lake District Moods – A talk showing an inspiring collection of photographs, evoking both stillness and movement, intimately capturing the varied and dramatic beauty of the stunning Lake District. This talk is broken down into key moods where Carmen explains how each picture triggered an emotion, she will talk about why she created the photograph. Not only will she show you the images taken in the Lake District but also the techniques used to capture and process the photograph.
From looking at her website I think we are in for an evening of stunning imagery: www.carmennorman.co.uk.
One not to be missed I think!

Chosen by our esteemed President.
