Hi everyone.
Well tomorrow sees the launch of my camera club The Collective's fist annual exhibition at the Carre Gallery in Sleaford. If you're in the area please feel free to come in and have a look around.
There is some fantastic work on show from a group of photographers some of which have only had their cameras a very short time. Our latest member Eda Wan has also decided to enter some of her etheral contemporary images that have you tranfixed when viewing them. You can see for yourself at www.edawanphotography.com
Also exhibiting is my good friend Chris Radford who recently retired from a local department store for a more sedate lifestyle in photography. Chris is hoping to take on weddings and family portraits over the coming months and of course we wish him all the very best. You can check out some of his work at his website www.cristophotography.com
Along side these guys are Sam Meeds who I see as being one to keep watching as her photography is realy superb. She has a great eye for composition and her fine art nudes she is showing at the exhibition are amazing. So much so that Caroline or Pud as she likes to be called her subject is going to be at the exhibition herself.
Two club members pauline White and Julie Green have surprised everyone by saying that they thought their work wasn't good enough to put into the show but take it from me they are a whole lot better than they give themselves credit for. Their images are brilliant.
Dan Goodyear has amazed us all with his architectural images that just blow you away. They are technically brilliant.
Colin Simpson is showing images he took while in the Masai Mara. His eye for a great shot is second to none. He manages to capture his subjects just as if you were there at his side when he pressed the shutter.
Laura Berry has some amazing shots she took while we were all out on a jolly one evening out in the country. Although they are all of outdoor scenes Laura is actually an excellent children's and family portrait photographer .
And of course there's Ann Bugg who has had her own exhibition before and had amazing reviews.
Anyway I'll let you all know how things go in a week or so.
