President - Ted French
Ted’s interest in photography started many years ago. Initially embarked on a six-year intensive black and white course at Missenden Abbey to hone his skills. Since then with his wife, they have been on several photographic workshop holidays enjoying the social aspect together with the spectacular venues. Ted’s preference is black and white photography and for the last 10 years has concentrated on infrared images, having had his main camera converted to take only infrared he is a firm believer in taking images that satisfy him. He rarely if at all manipulates his images he likes to get it right in camera and together with Trish exhibits their work at various venues and on occasions he visits other local camera clubs to show his work. |
Chairman - Peter Stevens
I have been a keen amateur photographer for many years. Although my interest lies primarily in landscape photography, I am prepared to take anything that can produce an interesting or unusual photograph. I now use digital equipment exclusively to take, process and print my photographs. I joined HPS in 2006 and have previously been Internal Print Competition Secretary and Programme Secretary. |
Vice Chairman - Paul Johnson
My interest in taking pictures began when I was given a 35mm camera for my 21st birthday and I remember being amazed by the quality of the images it produced. Since joining HPS in 2008 I have developed an interest in a broad range of photographic subjects and particularly enjoy the continuous learning experience. |

Membership Secretary - Peter Whitehead
I specialise in wildlife and landscape photography and use my images to raise awareness of detrimental changes that are taking place in our environment. I have been fortunate to travel extensively with leading wildlife photographers. I have also learnt a great deal from HPS and fellow photographers and have been encouraged by the society to enter competitions leading to photographic qualifications. I lead the Outdoor Group for the club. I have had a camera since I was a teenager but have only become a photographer since joining HPS about 8 years ago! |
Programme Secretary - Judith Kelly
I joined HPS three years ago with some previous experience, and my photography has progresses during this time. I enjoy taking landscape, and abstract images, and started using software to produce ‘photographic artwork’ two years ago, but much prefer being outside taking images. |

Photography had long been an interest, but I found myself taking product shots for a living and setting up a studio to do it in. From there my enthusiasm for macro and portrait photography developed, but I have a broad range of other interests as well. |

Social Secretary - Alice Gilhooly
I have studied photography for seven years. I have gained a BA(Hons). I am a Fine Art Photographer who likes to explore "what happens if...", deconstructing and reworking into photographs, manipulating my work by hand. Exploring that there is more to paper than just a printing surface... 
Webmaster - James Cooke
I started out shooting on film many years ago, but only flourished with the advent of digital imaging. I think of myself primarily as a landscape photographer, but I like to try my hand at anything, and enjoy exploring the different technical areas of photography. |
Publicity Secretary - Steve Collins
A member of The Guild of Photographers and RPS, I’ve enjoyed taking photographs my whole life, and love all styles and genres, especially street photography and macro. |
