Brian’s work is has been influenced more by painters, particularly the Symbolists and Expressionists. Recently he has become interested in the Pictorialist photographers who were pioneers of art photography in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century’s. What particularly attracts him to these images is the way they used texture and surface manipulation to create a painterly effect or often the look of an etching. Visit www.brianlawphotography.co.uk

Wild Britain is a medium format slide show projected on the Hasselblad PCP 80 projector. All the slides are shot on Velvia 50 slide film. It’s almost certain you will see slides from the Derbyshire and Yorkshire Dales, the English Lake District and the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, along with some of the characters Barry meets on his travels.

Barry is one of the top speakers on the photographic circuit and his amusing anecdotes can be quite colourful so political correctness is not a feature of the show. Therefore if you are easily offended best to stay at home this particular night and watch Corrie on the television. Visit www.barrypayling.co.uk
