Roger is a highly experienced photographer, perhaps best known for his nature photography. However, in this talk, he gave us some great hints and tips about tracking something else - people! He was not only generous in sharing his methods to get a great portrait, or candid image, but he also took us to the places and situations that he finds are a a very good source of images. In his words:
"In this talk I show a range of 'People Pictures'. The images will cover candid's, photojournalism, as well as studio and available light portraits. I explain, as well as giving examples, why some subjects can work in colour, while others can be considerably improved by converting to monochrome. I show some of the best places in the UK to go for 'people pictures': Speakers Corner, Brick Lane, Tate Modern, Blist Hill Victorian Village, The Black Country Museum, The Beamish Museum, 1940's weekends, Tough Guy event, and the Victory Show. I also cover working in a studio with flash and show how to take pictures at Live Rock events and explain how to take candid pictures without people noticing you."
Thanks Roger for another very inspiring evening. See Roger's website for much more.
