We welcome self-taught Fine Art photographer Viveca Koh ARPS:

"I see potential images everywhere around me, often things that many seem to miss or simply pass by. Abandoned buildings are a passion of mine, as are the details of places that attract my eye, the minutiae that collects in hidden corners, the small parts of bigger things that are fascinating in their own right. I enhance many of my photographs with texture layers and overlays, experimenting with digital double exposure, using old documents that I have collected to add a different dimension to the work.
 
My work has moved towards a very artistic and painterly style, which is why I now refer to what I do as Fine Art Photography. This presentation is not so much about attaining distinctions from the RPS, although I do touch on the process briefly during the talk, but more about how I have progressed in terms of style and maturity of vision over the past three years. There are plenty of urban exploration photographs, intrepid explorers, and tales of the attendant thrills and spills that are a part of this activity, and even something which may or may not be a ghost!"

The evening will begin promptly at 8pm, so please ensure you arrive early to get a good seat. Free to AWPS members. £3.00 for non-members, payable on the door.
