Presented by: Paul Sansome

Paul is a professional landscape and wildlife photographer based near Winchester. The inspiration for his photography comes from a love of both the tranquillity and wildness of nature. Whilst adoring every minute of his experiences in the wilder landscapes of Britain, such as the Scottish Highlands, many of his most successful images have been photographed much closer to home. Often there is some physical endurance required to obtain photographs but this all adds to the sense of satisfaction when images are viewed for the first time.

Paul’s international reputation was greatly enhanced by an invitation from Agfa to feature a portfolio of his photography on their website and his photographs now hang in many countries around the world such as New Zealand, Australia, USA, Canada, Japan, Italy, Spain and France.

Whilst embracing some of the benefits of digital manipulation he is ethically opposed to presenting a scene in a way in which it was not seen when he stood in front of it.

For the past few years he has led several photography holidays each year to Italy, Morocco, India and Iceland. The goal of these trips is to go, with a group of people who share his enthusiasm for photography, to the best photo locations at the best times.

Pecha Kucha is a presentation methodology in which 20 slides are shown for 20 seconds each (six minutes and 40 seconds in total). The format, which keeps presentations concise and fast-paced, powers multiple-speaker events called Pecha Kucha Nights.

Having enjoyed one Pecha Kucha presentation given by Nick Collins at our last meeting, we're giving over this evening to a number of presentations by volunteer members of the club.

Presented by: Robert Harvey

As a professional environmental scientist, photographer, Associate of the Royal Photographic Society, horticulturalist, writer and speaker Robert Harvey travels extensively around the UK and the world photographing landscapes and wildlife. He is particularly inspired by coasts and deserts, where untamed land is sculpted by natural elements. Finding and photographing birds and mammals in the wild, whether in Britain or Africa, is always a worthwhile challenge.

Kingsclere Photo Club is proud to present an evening with Dr Matt Doggett, the overall winner of the British Wildlife Photographer Awards competition 2012.

Matt Doggett’s photography reflects his passion for wildlife on land and in the sea, winning multiple national competitions and critical acclaim. He will share the story of how he started out in wildlife photography and some of the technical aspects involved with achieving such amazing images.
