The Societies 2010 Photographic Convention

swpp.co.uk/convention/

We don’t believe there’s ever been a speaker line-up quite like this before at any photo convention – anywhere.

At the pioneering seven-day long 2010 gathering, our broad church of professional and aspirational photographer visitors will have a truly enormous choice of seminars to be delivered by 175 top-rated experts from across the globe. (We just wanted to make quite sure we had covered every subject under the imaging sun!)

Of course it would be impossible to produce personal profiles for every single speaker given obvious Imagemaker pagination restrictions, so we’ve drawn a dozen of these key names out of the hat to give you an exclusive ‘cross-section’ profile snapshot.

We asked them all similar questions – and here’s the result.

When I was 16 we went on a family holiday to the USA and that’s where I first discovered photography. I shot over 200 rolls of film in the first month – everything from architecture to street people. I just fell in love with it. I went straight from school to a job as a commercial assistant in 1982. Three years later I turned pro.
