2nd October 2018 – Talk by John Paul
We had a great turnout again tonight as we welcomed our first guest speaker to SPG.
John Paul – Commercial Photographer, who gave an excellent talk on his photography career, firstly as a newspaper photographer then as a commercial photographer which is now his main focus. It was very informative and gave a great insight into the world of commercial photography. As well as a presentation he brought along some large prints of his work and gave an insight into the setup for these shots.
The evening was thoroughly enjoyed by all members present.
Thank you John.
