The Catalyst Exhibition – a talk through the work involved in putting this exhibition on given by Vince Scriven, Bill Griffiths & Peter Edwards
Trevor is an international travel photographer and photo tour leader, based in Donegal, Ireland. Born in Derry, he went on to teach geography at international schools in Singapore, Togo, Italy, Ethiopia and Brazil – always travelling extensively with his camera.
This naturally brought two of his life’s passions together as a geographer-photographer. His photography focuses predominantly on culture and landscapes; images which reflect a spatial and temporal journey through life, while striving to reflect the need to live in a more sustainable world. By seeking the moment and light in various contexts, we can turn the ordinary into the extraordinary.
My approach is based on an alternative vision of tomorrow – capturing unforgettable moments through photography that empower us to reflect upon the world around us, and truly be the change that we want to see in that world.
As Henry David Thoreau said, “It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see”.

The first part of the evening will be a talk given by our member Leo Kidds and the second half of the evening will be a presentation on Photobooks by Liz Kenny.
The third competition of the season. This is a PDI-only competition (i.e. no print section).
The theme is “Motion” and we have decided this season to give a steer on what is intended so that you can more easily judge whether your entries are acceptable or within scope for this theme.
For “Motion”, images should capture movement within the frame, either by freezing action at a precise moment or by using techniques like motion blur or intentional camera movement to convey a sense of speed, energy, or flow.
Judge to be confirmed.
Good luck!
Margaret is a Scottish artist, photographer and writer living on the Isle of Harris in the Scottish Outer Hebrides.
The stillness and being surrounded by sea and nature on Harris is at the heart of her creative work. She created all her creative retreats, online membership, and yearly festival from a belief that creativity is vital for well-being. Being surrounded by like-minded creatives enriches our lives and encourages us to take time to be creative; she loves bringing people together, to quiet beautiful places to retreat and absorb nature together.
