This Friday at KPS .....

Kingswood Photographic Society is absolutely delighted to welcome for the first time, David Lingham FRPS as their speaker on Friday 15 February, giving an illustrated talk, ‘Completely in the dark’. 

David says: “My photography these days is exclusively black & white.  It is film based and I still print in what is called a wet darkroom.  I derive most of my personal enjoyment from photography through the craft of print making, which is why I still remain over on the dark side. 

In both my camera work and my darkroom printing, I am always trying for an interpretation and an expression of mood, rather than a straight record picture.  This has meant I often resort to unconventional methods, one of those is Lith printing. 

I also used a lot of infra red film throughout the 80's and into the 90's.  Regrettably when Kodak ceased production of HIE, I was forced back to more conventional black and white films.

Monochrome photography has always been more about tone, texture shape and form, and these are characteristics that I try to bring into my work. 

Some of my more recent work is about camera movement, working on themes, and creating sets of prints.  A wider view of my work can be found on my website http://www.davidlingham.co.uk”. 

This promises to be an interesting evening so we hope to see you there.
