Photo-forum - Thursday 8th April

Jacobs Pro Lounge 6pm prompt start until 8pm.

At the March Photo-Forum we had Eddie Keogh’s amazing sports
photographs and Mike Goldwater presented an amazing range of travel
and corporate imagery.

On Thursday 8 April we have a show of work from Alan Davidson and
James Vellacott.

Alan Davidson started straight from school as a messenger at Keystone
more than 40 years ago. Since 1977 he has worked mainly for the Daily
Mail as a contract freelance, specialising in showbiz and social but
with a news photographer’s view. Nowadays Alan shoots mainly news and
politics, just a different flavour of showbiz but starting at 7am
instead of finishing at 7 am. He will be showing us his early black
and white showbiz, social and royal photographs.

James Vellacott started out working in a camera shop in 1987, James
worked for The Daily Mirror from 1995 until last year. He will show us
a selection of his work and talk about making the move into video.

As always we'll have a raffle of prints from the photographers to help
fund Photo-Forum. The raffle pays for food in the pub after the show
with donations to good causes when there’s any left over. The
Photo-Forum raffle is the cheapest ever way to buy a print from one of
today’s leading photographers, please support it and perhaps win some
great work at a giveaway price.
