Diversity of photography
The Richmond & Twickenham Photographic Society holds its annual exhibition 7 – 16 April
Richmond and Twickenham offer so much diversity for photographers, from our beautiful architecture to wide open spaces. Hundreds of images will be on display at the Landmark Arts Centre in Teddington. The Royal Photographic Society’s Visual Art Group will be joining the event again.
Jocelyn Horsfall demonstration
New this year will be a demonstration on 8 April from award-winning fine art flower photographer Jocelyn Horsfall showing how you can create startling designs and patterns using the cyanotype printing process (or sun printing as it is often known). Jocelyn, from East Sheen, specialises in atmospheric images inspired by flowers and the natural world. Her most recent award, in February 2022, was First Place in the Captured at Kew category in the International Garden Photographer of the Year competition.
There will also be four workshops with street fashion photographer John Phillips on 13 and 15 April giving practical advice on the use of on and off camera flash. The charge for Jocelyn and John’s sessions, which take place in the Landmark, is £5 but this then gives you free entry to the exhibition.
Tea & coffee available
Visitors have the opportunity to buy exhibits and are also encouraged to vote for their favourite image. Tea and coffee will be available in the Landmark café where visitors can watch an additional display of digital images. A selection of greetings cards and second-hand photographic books and equipment will also be available to buy.
