In conversation with Graeme Webb

 

29 October 2013: Guest Speaker, Graeme Webb

Photo by Graeme Webb

An evening of Graeme Webb's extraordinary multi-media work of photography, model making, film making plus a few surprises. The evening will be in the format of 'in conversation with' rather than just a straight presentation and Graeme will welcome questions from the floor.

His meticulously detailed staged photography plays with elements of scale, texture and lighting and the never ending cycle of nature modifying man's achievements.

Graeme has exhibited at London's Barbican, Cottons Center, Holborn Studios, Linear House, the Strand Gallery and was a finalist in the Gallerie Huit Open Salon in France in 2011. In the summer he presented a sold-out talk at the Apple Store in Covent Garden and this will be the first time he has shown his work at a camera club for several years.
