Join us for an exhilarating evening of sports photography in the comapany of Gareth, from "Mighty Quinn Photos".  He will be taking us on his personal journey from a humble cycling fan in Ireland to the fast paced world of professional cycling photography.  During the evening, Gareth will be showing us his images captured at the worlds most prestigious 'Grand Tour' cycling events - Tour De France, Giro D'Italia & La Vuelta
If you are a cyling fan or just love the raw emotions captured in sports photography - this is an evening not to be missed!

We are delighted to host an evening with outstanding photographer Viveca Koh (FRPS).
Viveca is an incredible photographer and artist in her own right.  She specialises in Fine Art and Digital Image Manipulation - many of her images have been shot using an iPhone and  are turely stunning and inspirational.

Her talk on "The Joy of Seeing: Photography My Way" is her fourth lecture in a series.  She will re-visit some derelict locations, some of which are very dark and full of shadows, show a range of iPhone shots, a series entitled ‘Miksang’ (Tibetan for ‘Good Eye’), candids of people in cafés, and sharing how she created some of her multi-layered images using Photoshop. 

This will be a photographic evening like no other!

DO NOT miss this opportunity to come along to see some fantastic wildlife images made by the world's top wildlife photographers.

Non-members are welcome on the night, please get your tickets at EVENTBRITE or pay on the night

Margot Raggett is a world renowned wildlife photographer and conservationist.  We are very priviledged to welcome her along to Northfields Camera Club.  In this talk she’ll show examples of her work and her own personal photographic journey but she will also share the process of creating the Remembering Wildlife series and share inspirational images from those books too.  Each book contains images donated by many of the world's best wildlife photographers - these books will also be on sale on the evening!

Photographer Margot Raggett specialises in wildlife images taken in Africa and has been a frequent visitor there for the past eight years. She’s worked as a photographer in residence at Entim Camp in the Maasai Mara and also led photo tours across Kenya. But it was seeing a poached elephant in 2014 that led her to try and find ways to use photography to give back to the many species in dire need of our attention and help. She founded Remembering Wildlife that year by publishing Remembering Elephants, a collection of stunning images donated by many of the world’s top wildlife photographers. She has since published two more books - Remembering Rhinos and Remembering Great Apes and is currently working on a fourth volume, Remembering Lions which will come out in October this year. Together, the first three books have so far raised more than £460,000 for conservation and she firmly believes that it is the power of working together as a photographic community that has made the project so successful.

We are privileged to welcome Sean Tucker to Northfields Camera Club for his talk "From Tech to Story".  In Sean's words he is more interested in the "why of photography than the how" and it is sure to be one of those evenings not to be missed at the NCC.

Sean Tucker is a photographer, YouTuber, Instagrammer, and a former priest! But in all these roles, he has always imagined himself a storyteller. His journey from the priesthood to a professional photographer has provided him a unique career path but also a wealth of experiences that he openly shares on his popular YouTube channel, which to date has over 230,000 followers.

​Cliff will be taking a look at copyright from a photographer’s perspective.  Plus the key legal concepts everyone should be aware of including the new GDPR data protection regime and laws around what and who can be photographed.  He also covers EU and US law and what to do if someone steals your work.

Cliff has been a press photographer since 2010 and is currently the Business Picture Editor at The Times newspaper.  He has also worked on the picture desks of papers such as The Mirror, Metro, Sunday Times and the (short-lived) New Day.
