Working Lives
A Photographic Journey by Simon Caplan LRPS
'Photographing people can be one of the most daunting things to do with a camera in your hand.'
In his talk "Working Lives" Simon takes members through his own personal journey - from someone who has never photographed a person in his life to someone commissioned by the English Heritage Crafts Association to provide portraits for a series of education booklets.

Visiting Critiquer
Simon Caplan LRPS
Simon's website is well worth a look
Our projector has a resolution size of 1920x 1080 so images must be resized to these dimensions i.e landscapes 1920 wide and if possible 1080 high, this latter dimension could of course be smaller if a letterbox image is displayed,in the case of portrait images these must be no taller than 1080 the width will sort itself out on resizing.
Providing images are no larger than those stated all will project without problem.
