Geoff Reader - The Art of Portraiture 09/09/20

For the second week running our club members were entertained with top class images from an expert. Geoff Reader DPAGB AFIAP BPE3 is a member of Alsager Camera Club in Cheshire and is well known to photographers west of the Pennines where he judges and gives lectures. Over the last 10 years he has developed an interest and expertise in portrait photography and the results demonstrate a wide range of human subjects and styles. Although some of the models were recognisable from the work of others, there was a refreshing variety of approaches with mood and story-telling to the fore. Geoff’s rapport with his subjects came over clearly, particularly when photographing local actors. It was good to share the evening with folks from Wakefield Camera Club and Bradford Photographic Society, showing there are definitive upsides to using internet conferencing such as Zoom.
