Camera club members get the big picture with expert help

28 August 2014

Knaresborough Camera Club has turned to Yorkshire’s professionals as it announces its strongest line up of guest speakers and judges to date.

Experts from portrait, landscape, lifestyle, news and PR photography will share their knowledge with the 50-strong group during its autumn and winter programme.

Club chairman Richard Bryant said: Even as hobbyists, our members are always keen to raise their game so we have turned to several experts to give us their insights.

We’ve had some great speakers and judges over the years but this is probably our strongest programme to date.
