Paul Hill : Don't Go ThereJanet Hall Memorial Lecture Paul Hill is leader of the popular MA Photography course at De Montfort University, Leicester. He was made a Fellow of the RPS in 1990 and awarded an MBE four years later for services to photography. For 20 years he was director of The Photographers' Place. As well as talking about his earlier work, he will show new images made following the death of his wife in 2006. It is photography that deals with personal issues of the photographer - self-indulgent, or just therapy? There will be a question and answer session widening the discussion to embrace the photographs of Annie Leibovitz, Andrea Serrano and Richard Avedon who have approached the same subject albeit in a very different way from Paul. Please contact Julie Long for booking:

Barry Lewis : Visual NoiseSaturday 17th May, 10:30-5:30pm Barry Lewis has photographed all over the world for magazines such as Vogue and Life and participated in many books and exhibitions. In 1981 he co-founded the agency Network. He has won the Vogue award, The City of London award and the Oscar Barnac award for humanitarian photography. In recent years his work has become more diverse combining his personal projects with editorial, corporate and advertising clients. In this workshop, using a simple "point and shoot" digital camera supplied by Barry, we will be photographing (near the Camera Club) the extraordinary in the ordinary - the things we pass daily and look at, but rarely see. In the afternoon we will discuss the photographs. Please contact Julie Long for booking:
