Five of our club members will display and discuss a panel of their prints.
The choice of images will be up to the presenters and reflect more of their personal style compared with the competition prints we usually see.
The presenters are Andrew Williams, Barrie Howarth, Marie Aldridge, Nicky Higgens and Vince Scriven.
…. and mine might not be all bikes … or maybe it will! Andrew
Claire Carter’s interest in nature photography grew from a desire to record special moments to inspire her paintings. From this has grown her passion to capture the way light transforms a scene and to share those fleeting and unique moments.
She also claims it is a wonderful excuse to just “be” in places that take your breath away and that standing for hours watching the effect of light on a scene is like watching a drama unfold.
During the last 20+ years her photographs have been used in a wide range of publications and her work has been acknowledged in international photography competitions. She also has had articles published in photography magazines and holds exhibitions.
For more about Claire’s work visit her website.
