We are very pleased that Pro-Sports photographer Mike King will be our guest speaker on Tuesday 5th October.
Mike covered the major sport's events in the 80's and 90's for Allsport (now part of Getty), The Observer, The Sunday Telegraph and he was the winner of the coveted UK Sports Photographer of the Year a couple of times, once thanks to a shot from the Grand National on a Nikon D1 (2.7MP!). Many of his images are instantly recognisable and you don't need to have a special interest in sports photography to appreciate them.
In his own words -
"I Don't cover much sport nowadays, but I've recently learnt that great pictures are on your own doorstep. You don't need to go to a war zone or the Olympics to take great photos. Photography is one of the great levellers of society, we can all do it largely, and it can have an amazing power to improve our world. Rarely does photography have a negative power. In fact it nearly always exposes the truth".
Please make sure you get there early for a prompt 8pm start.
