Chris Ceaser (Ambassador for Canson Infinity)

Chris spends an evening looking at images made over the past 20 years and chats about his inspirations, techniques used, thoughts on composition etc., and then makes prints using a superb, affordable Canon Pro 300 A3+ printer and his beloved museum grade papers from Canson Infinity showing how choice of paper can affect both the look and feel of an image.

During the evening, Chris will print some of your member's images.
Your club can choose 6 images from your members and Chris will give advice on a paper that would suit the image, and then print it on some wonderful Canson Infinity paper, making great use of the fine ink set of the Pro300, including the wonderful new MATT black.

Lots of printer-related info on the night and a real insight into the superb engineering of these incredible papers.

Roger Fountain

A print talk by a Derby based photographer.

Roger takes us on a journey with his 'World of Monochrome'.  He finishes with his acclaimed Fine Art Architectural images and demonstrates his processing techniques with some before and after images

About me:
I held a camera in my early youth and have continued to take photographs to this day. However, it wasn't until much later in life that I took my photography more seriously, and in particular, my world
of monnochrome. More recently, my Fine Art Architectural images have consumed my passion, patience and time to create images with impact and flair.

For me, the street is where much of the pathos, comedy and irony of life can be found, by those willing to stop and look.
My talk also includes some information of what kit I use and some of the ways I got my pictures.
