'People, Portraits and Photojournalism'

Roger Hance FRPS

In this talk I show a range of 'People Pictures'. The images will cover candids, photojournalism, as well as studio and available light portraits. I explain, as well as giving examples, why some subjects can work in colour, while others can be considerably improved by converting to monochrome. I show some of the best places in the UK to go for 'people pictures': Speaker s Corner, Brick Lane, Tate Modern, Blist Hill Victorian Village, The Black Country Museum, The Beamish Museum, 1940's weekends, Tough Guy event, and the Victory Show. I also cover working in a studio with flash and show how to take pictures at Live Rock events and explain how to take candid pictures without people noticing you.
