23rd January 2020 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
Name Leo Rich ARPS, EFIAP/gold, DPAGB, BPE3*
HonPAGB for exceptional service to the PAGB/ Amateur Club Photography in the UK)
Location: Salisbury, Wiltshire UK
Specific Areas of Photographic Interest or Expertise?
None. Leo classes himself as a “Jobbing Amateur” who will photograph, poorly, anything that takes his fancy though he has developed a love of taking environmental people portraits when travelling.
He enjoys Wildlife (and the wildlife) and Natural History subjects but photographs them very badly. He is always seeking a fresh challenge in the hope that, given time, he will produce a half decent image.
