For us he will cover techniques and equipment used in his bird photography and also a few places of where to go for opportunities. It was wildlife that brought him into photography in the 80s, and he is now a commercial photographer.

Darren will be talking to us from his home in Morocco and will be giving us two talks.
SHOOTING A LANDSCAPE FOR THE FIRST TIME TO GET GREAT IMAGES
This will look at how I set about to photograph Andalusia from initially researching on Google to making a book. The decisions I took on what not to photograph and how used my influences to push me to make better work. Both imagery from Spain and Morocco will present a variety of different locations and my approach to realising each using on location review shape the work.
The presentation will provide a checklist for club photographers to use on location to go about getting high quality work from a first time visit.
MAKING PORTRAITS OF STRANGERS
Capturing standout location portraits is perhaps one of the most challenging areas of photography but a highly rewarding one when accomplished well.
I will present my images of nomads in the High Atlas taken across two trips in 2017 as well as photographs made whilst traveling around Morocco. Found portraiture as opposed to studio work is really about thinking on your feet when working with lighting, background, pose and message. The history of portrait photography follows our very move especially when we raise the camera to capture someone from another culture. Understanding how to represent someone faithfully but with photographic charm is a dance of interpersonal skills and technique.
