Michelle was born in South Africa and settled in the UK in 1987. She cites this background as informing her interest in sub-cultures and the exploration of contemporary social issues and challenges. Her crafted portraits and landscapes meld place and person creating sociological visual and psychological narratives. She is represented by an agent in New York and Amsterdam and her striking work hangs in galleries around the world.

My talk, "Eclectic and Creative Photography," covers a wide range of my work, including infrared photography, a touch of landscape and street photography, and primarily, my creative photography projects. I aim to provide an engaging evening with something to interest everyone!

Dave Airston LRPS, DPAGB, EFIAP is not only a great photographer, he’s a specialist in Formula 1!

Jonathan grew up on the West coast of France, in a rural region wedged between the sandy waters of the Gironde estuary and the wild Atlantic Ocean. He first worked as a portraitist for a professional studio in the French Alps, and as a sports photographer for the UK studio DE Photo in Bristol. He travelled widely and says: "I started to notice that wherever I went, and whatever type of photography I explored, something kept drawing me back to that one element: water".

Mike is a club photographer who is making quite a name for himself for his portraits. He says: "Until a few years ago, my portraits were mostly candids with a rare shoot on a club studio evening - then it changed, having tagged along with some inspiring people, who got me started. I've now worked with 80+ models and am adding more all the time.
