"A Personal Response" by Chris Palmer
I constantly strive to produce images that are different. I discuss the creative process that I use, both when out shooting, and subsequently when producing my prints. The lecture features many of my latest prints and culminates in the work that I produced to earn my RPS Fellowship.

"Creative and Eclectic Photography" by Steve Varman
After failing to settle or specialise in one genre, I have learnt to embrace an eclectic approach to my photography. My talk includes infrared, landscape, macro, tabletop, street, compositing and more. I was lucky enough to have two successes in this year's International Garden Photographer of the Year, and a third image success in this year's Pink Lady Food Photographer of the year

"All the Gear and No Idea" by Roger Hance
We all know people who have all the latest camera equipment but cannot “consistently” take winning images - while others regularly produce images that score highly. Why is that?
I will explore some of the reasons and how to avoid the pitfalls many photographers fall into.

"Doll Photography & Lensbaby Photography" by Polina Plotnikova
My approach to Doll & Lensbaby photography is a natural extension of what I do with my Flower and Still Life work. The genesis of an image can be almost anything - a colour, a texture, a shape, a mood, a memory. I then start with composing an image in my head, and then the process of taking an image can last anything from a minute to days.

"The Industrial Tourist" by Andy Marland
I take a wander through the remnants of the northern industrial landscape. Including sites such as the slate quarries of Snowdonia, textile mills in Lancashire & Yorkshire, a disused underground coal mine, the bizarre landscapes of active steelworks and a beached passenger ship.
