The best pictures tell an unfinished story, with a sense of place or personality – questions of what, where, when, how. I like to think that my photography, at its core, is always about finding this story. Or more correctly, it’s about conveying a portion of the story, a small moment in other people’s lives…
At the April meeting PhotoBath members had a chance to try their hand at curating images for an imagined exhibition. This involved working in small groups, editing available photographs into a coherent exhibition structure. Available images had too be reduced in numbers by 50{74ab25842e4e307579e2ae34b7460f26550548bdb3238991fdebad45546554df} and themes, sequence etc. chosen. All of those participating were fully engaged and…
My goal is to move people, like a piece of music. Within photography, I explore humanity as I experience it. My images appeal to sensory perception more than to that of the mind.

As an abstract artist, Anna’s concerns are partly to do with ambiguities of space and depth and also to do with exploring the structural elements of visual language – the syntax of line and form alongside the semantics of colour. Her photographs reflect and reinforce these concerns. With no manipulation once an image is taken,…
Phil is a working graphic and digital media designer. Photography has been integral to his design work as well as his chosen creative medium since leaving college in the mid 1980s. His most successful images often offer an intriguing, inherent narrative within a strong composition and lighting and are rarely appreciated at the moment of camera exposure.…
