New Mount Cutter

The club has now purchased the 'Signature' system mount cutter from Longridge. We have a left-handed cutter as well as a right handed cutter so we can cater for left and right handed users. Instructions for use can be found below. Training will also be provided at our next Saturday training session too. Head over to the Learn area of the site for tutorials on how to use it now!

Viveca Koh is our speaker this week!

Viveca is a creative fine-art photographer, here is her profile.

I am a self-taught Fine Art photographer, with a special fascination for small details, for lost, abandoned, poignant and generally broken objects, and also for darkness contrasting with light, both in a physical and emotional sense.

Many of my illustrative images simply evolve as I am working on them - I start off with a quite straightforward idea of what I want to achieve but am always willing to venture wherever the photograph wants me to go, as I overlay multiple images together or add textures, scanned documents as new layers, and subtle shading. Two photographs may blend together in a way that I could not have previously imagined, and this is one of the things that I find so exciting and all-consuming when I work, to produce a final image that perhaps a little bit different, that invokes emotion in the viewer and makes them question their sense of the world as they know it.

In June 2014 I was awarded a Fellowship Distinction by the Royal Photographic Society, following on from an Associateship Distinction in June 2011 and a Licentiateship Distinction in 2010.
