From abstract to macro, John is well known for creativity in his photography, and this evening he will show some of the techniques he uses.

John writes:

Photographers often experience the equivalent of ‘writers block’ where no new ideas come to mind and our photographs are record shots rather than demonstrations of our creativity and artistry. This presentation introduces ideas and techniques designed to reawaken creativity and convert our pictures into personal artworks.

 John’s techniques are the subject of his workshops and presentations for the Royal Photographic Society, and his book Creative and Experimental Photography.
