The Joy of Seeing : Photography My Way Viveca Koh FRPS
Viveca photographed last visit at her talk on smart phone photography is an exciting speaker and welcome back with what will be a very stimulating evening and a range of interesting photos.
Viveca Koh FRPS
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.

Tides and Tempests, Coastal Photography: Rachael Talibart
Black and White Photographer of the Year 2018
One of ‘the best outdoor photographers working in the UK today’, a ‘landscape master’ Outdoor Photography Magazine June 2016

Rachael grew up on the south coast of England. Her first career was as a solicitor in the City of London. During the City years, Rachael’s friends and colleagues were used to seeing her return from trips with bags full of exposed film; the developing sometimes cost more than the trip! In 2008, she converted to digital and she says that is when the obsession really set in. In 2000, Rachael left her City career and, after obtaining two more degrees, she now works full-time on her photography.
Much of Rachael’s early childhood was spent at sea. This has left her with a life-long fascination for the ocean in all its forms, but especially in stormy weather. Rachael travels widely for her photographs but retains a special fondness for the South of England and many of her images are created there. For Rachael, nothing beats a day on an empty shore, the wilder the weather the better, and this is reflected in her work.
Rachael’s photographs have been published in books and both print and online magazines, have been exhibited widely in the UK as well as Barcelona and New York, and appear in private collections in the UK and USA. She is owner of f11 Workshops, providing photography day workshops in the South of England and runs residential photography workshops for international, fine art photography business, Ocean Capture. Rachael is in demand as a public speaker and writes for photography magazines. A member of Parhelion Group.

Moments in Nature: Ben Hall
2018-09-20 19:30 - 21:30
Moments in Nature: Ben Hall
Ben Hall has gained worldwide recognition as one of Britain’s foremost professional wildlife photographers. His images are often surprising, always striking and ever striving to awaken people to the diversity of the natural world. He is described by “Living Edge” magazine as ‘a passionate and experienced wildlife photographer, with a perfectionist’s eye for detail’.
Ben’s personal approach to wildlife photography lies in the creative art of ‘seeing’. His aim is to use his pictures to communicate his personal vision, to generate an emotional response and to excite the viewer’s aesthetic sensitivity. He often pre-visualises a particular image in his mind before setting out to photograph it. To realise this vision by turning it into a photographic image can take weeks or even months, and often sees him returning frequently to the same location to capture the perfect shot.
.
Ben is a regular photographic and editorial contributor to clients as diverse as BBC Wildlife, Practical Photography, Outdoor Photography, Photography Monthly, Professional Photographer, Digital Photographer, Digital Camera magazine, Digital SLR User, Birds Illustrated, Birding (USA), Birdwatch, The Grebe (Cheshire Wildlife Trust), Living Edge, Birds (RSPB), The Countryman, Peak District magazine and Cheshire Life.

A Feeling of Impressionism: Steve Le Prevost FRPS

A Feeling of Impressionism: Steve Le Prevost FRPS
Where possible my aim is to challenge the fundamentals and boundaries of photography and to strive to be unique in my preferred style of photographic art.
After capturing the initial image with as much sharpness and detail as I can achieve I purposely set out to degrade the image, to reduce that clinical sharpness we generally associate with a more standard record photograph. My goal is to create a picture with mood, feeling and atmosphere. The creative process begins to take shape in my imagination and evolves as the picture takes shape, the end result can and often is completely different to how I had envisaged it initially. Compositional rule breaking is something I enjoy so I try to add this to the mix as often as I feel it appropriate. If the end result gives pleasure to someone and maybe hangs on the walls of their home I have succeeded.
Judging National and International Salons is something I greatly enjoy along with giving presentations of my work. I am enormously grateful to Fotospeed Distribution for sponsoring me, this allows me the opportunity to test drive a large variety of photographic papers.

A great friend of the club and always an entertaining speaker with relevant messages to us.
Last seen exhibiting together with the Focus Group and here are some of his images.
http://www.focusgroupphotography.com/gallery_727220.html
I have been taking pictures for over forty years. My work has been mainly thematic, making images as a series. I have a relatively specific approach to what I choose to make pictures of, and I rely heavily on atmospherics, dramatic lighting and strong storylines to convey an individual style. A lot of my personal work is taken either in isolated places or of buildings and landscapes that are well past their ‘sell-by’ date. A lot of my work is monochrome, using both digital and darkroom processes, depending on the ‘feel’ I want from the finished print.
I hold two RPS Fellowships, one for pictorial images taken of the mill towns in Lancashire and Yorkshire and the other for Darkroom printing. I belong to the ARENA group of photographers and am a member of The London Salon. There have been two books of my images published: “Shadows of Change” and “Five Essays”. My work has been exhibited in London, Dublin, Birmingham, Reading, Manchester, Gloucester and Belfast.

30 Years as a Fleet Street Stringer – Andrew Hasson
Self-portrait
The world is full of experts on photography. Some have a faint knowledge of the craft; most merely know what they like, until shown something else.
Being a successful photographer or even just being good at talking about it is not the same as making a living from it.
Listen to Andrew carefully; he knows what he’s talking about.”

1st Club/Int PDI Competition – Leo Rich HonPAGB EFIAP/g

He joined his first camera club in the 1970’s and began entering National and International Exhibitions shortly afterwards with reasonable success over the years.

Changing from film to digital was a long process as he endeavours to emulate the success he had with slides by trying to “get it right in the camera” rather than in post computer manipulation. He likes to photograph anything that takes his fancy but has veered towards “people” pictures and natural history following his many travels, particularly in India. He is heavily involved in the administration side of UK photography and has been President of the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain which has approximately 1,000 camera clubs affiliated with an estimated 40,000 members. He is in demand for both his judging, both in UK and abroad, and also his humorous talks based on his travels.

Pictures on a Page – Paul Sanders
I am passionate about landscape photography. I love being outside surrounded by the beauty of the world we live in. It never ceases to amaze me, as I watch the storm clouds blow in over the coast, listen to the waves crashing against the rocky shores or watch sunlight stream through trees on a foggy morning, how blessed and lucky we are to have such beauty on our doorsteps.
Recently my work has been recognised by Fujifilm, who inaugurated me into their exclusive X Series photographers . In addition to this honour I have been awarded Gold medals by the SWPP for my fine art and black and white images.

The Experience of Creating Images – Vanda Ralevska FRPS
My name is Vanda Ralevska and I am a photographer based in London. I am passionate about capturing the world we live in, always searching for those fleeting moments of magic that transform it into something extraordinary.
I find inspiration in the sea and its infinite power and uncontrollable energy, in quieter scenes and intimate details that abound in nature. In my images I strive to reflect the atmosphere, feeling, and sheer wonderment that our natural world can evoke within us. For me photography is more than just a recording of where I have been. It is about encompassing the whole experience of being in the outdoors, and trying to capture that one special moment that leaves a lasting impression on us.
My images and articles have been published in magazines, exhibited in the UK and abroad and have received awards in international competitions.
I am a member of Arena Photographers – a collective based in the south of England, World Women Art – an international group of women artists, and Échiquier – an international collective of photographers.
I am a Brand Ambassador for KASE Filters UK, manufacturers of high-quality photography filters.

18th North Mundham Exhibition
You are cordially invited to Chichester Camera Club’s eighteenth advanced members’ exhibition to be held on Saturday, 19th January 2019 at the North Mundham Village Hall. The exhibition will be open between 10 am and 5 pm with refreshments, light lunches and teas available throughout the day. If anyone cannot make it on the Saturday, we will be open on the following day (Sunday) between 10:00 am and 4:00 pm. We will also have refreshments available on that day.

Print exhibitors have had the choice of varying screen spaces with the freedom to display virtually any type of work they wish with no rules on size, subject matter technique, etc. whilst PDI workers are each allowed to have up to 4 images projected, again with no subject ruling. Based on our previous, similar exhibitions, this freedom of choice has resulted in a considerable display of artistic talent. The day has also proved to be a great social occasion.
We hope you will be able to visit us and look forward to meeting you on the 19th January.

Chair's Evening - Personal reflections Mike Hancock
2019-01-31 19:30 - 21:30
The Chair’s Evening will comprise 2 parts. In the first half Mike will give a presentation on some of the people and places he has encountered in his photography, reflecting a very personal approach to what he is seeking to achieve and the enjoyment that has produced.
Geographically, the images will cover several continents and cover some of the moments ‘that took the breath away’. Inevitably sport will also feature, covering both the challenges of trying to get good images and the sheer enjoyment of being there at major sporting occasions.
The second half, by way of complete contrast, will be a presentation by one of this year’s new members, Alan Frost.
He is a long standing member of Havant Camera Club, recently having gained an ARPS qualification for his beautifully composed and sensitively produced Black and White images. Alan comes to Chichester with the aim of developing yet further his already considerable photographic expertise.
The emphasis will be on having a fun evening and I hope including something for everyone’
