George Robertson - "Mountaineering photography"
George is an award winning Photographer, International Mountain Leader and World Traveller based near Glasgow, Scotland. He states he’s been fortunate to visit many different remote and beautiful areas and gain a varied perspective on our planet whilst leading mountaineering expeditions. The beauty, remoteness and challenge of travelling in the high mountain areas has always attracted him. Through the interaction of the light with the natural landscape he has tried to capture his memories from his travels. His images are not just limited to the mountains and he enjoys photographing travel, wildlife, pets, street and macro. In 2017 and in 2020 his images won the Urban View category of Take a View, UK Landscape Photographer of the Year competition.

Guy & Paula Davies - "Double Act 2"
We’re in for a treat tonight: a double act! Paula describes herself as a “butterfly photographer” because she flits from subject to subject taking a photograph of anything that attracts her. She enjoys being out in the landscape pressing the shutter but gets particular satisfaction from seeking out abstract images in man-made and natural objects that look like landscapes. She is a Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society alongside many other distinctions. Here’s a link to Paula’s website: https://pixelfoto.co.uk/ Guy started in photography as a boy in 1946 but he really did not get serious until 1989 when he joined a camera club. He likes photographing landscapes, especially in low or dramatic light. He also enjoys city photography, looking for unusual angles on interesting buildings, inside as well as outside. He has tried photographing people too, but mainly at events such as carnivals, not in the studio. Although most of his work is in colour, he does get a special 'buzz' from a good monochrome. He is an Associate of the Royal Photographic Society. Here’s a link to Guy’s website: http://www.gdpix.co.uk/ |
