12th June 2024 - Guest Speaker - Sue Clark LRPS, CPAGB, AWPF
Sue Clark has agreed to return to Ulverston Photographic Society on December 5th to deliver her talk titled ‘Is Photography Art’
My interest in photography changed from a pastime to a passion when I discovered Photoshop in the late 1990s. I found that I was much more at home with digital technology than I had been with darkroom processing. It was an opportunity that I didn’t realise I was waiting for!
Over the years I have developed my knowledge of the programme and although my images almost always look as if they are straight from the camera, they are invariably heavily edited, whether they are single images or a composite of several.
My work has been selected for national and international exhibitions and salons.
I have been a member of Conwy Camera Club since 2010.
I judge camera club competitions.
My lectures on composition and photo editing have been led by my interest in art and art history.
