This Friday at KPS ...

Kingswood Photographic Society is absolutely delighted to welcome Richard Baker, as their speaker on Friday 4^th May who will be giving a digital image presentation entitled Red Arrows and Street Photography.

Richard Baker will recount his year spent photographing the Red Arrows aerobatic team throughout their 40th anniversary year.  The story includes many private moments during the dark mornings during winter training in Lincolnshire to the dazzling blue skies of Cyprus and ultimately, to the seaside and air shows around the UK.  His reportage and landscapes are unusual in that he used exclusively medium format rangefinder cameras.

Richard is not in fact an aviation geek - rather a generalist interested in editorial stories and themes (he worked in Aviation before studying Documentary Photography) so his work is untypical with this genre. How the resulting book came about is an epic story in itself but has become a favourite among the team as can be seen on the website - https://www.facebook.com/redarrowsbook.  Signed Special Edition copies will be available on the night at £19 for cash payment.

For further information about Richard Baker, pop onto his website, www.bakerpictures.com, from which you’ll see why this promises to be an absolutely fascinating and excellent evening.  We do hope to see you there.

Kingswood PS meet Fridays from 7.30pm to around 9.30pm at St Barnabas Church Hall, Warmley, Bristol BS30 5JJ.  Visitors are most welcome and the cost for this evening is £3.00.
