The Alternative Camera Manual with Steve Kingswell
Steve Kingswell is someone who has been recommended as a speaker by members of the community. He recently reached out to share his work and I have thoroughly enjoyed seeing his photography. I'm pleased we've been able to organise this!
About the talk, from Steve:
In the past I have often reflected that as a photographer perhaps I am a frustrated artist, but that would be to denigrate photography to something less that an art, and I believe photography is an equal to painting, sculpture, poetry and all other fine arts, don’t just take my word have a read of the life’s work of Alfred Stieglitz.
In this talk I explore how as photographers we can bridge the gap between being a competent photographer in terms of practising our craft and becoming a photographic artist by introducing more personal expression into our work.
