Photo-Forum Thursday 13 January
Jacobs Pro Lounge - 6pm prompt start until 8pm.
On Thursday 13 January we have two news photographers with a presentation from Carl de Souza and the Lee Thompson show that we had to postpone last month.
Carl de Souza is a staff press photographer working for AFP news agency. He has been working as a press photographer for 10 years, starting off at a regional news agency in Bristol and then in London for AFP. Recently Carl was posted in Pakistan for three months. He was afforded a phenomenal amount of freedom during this time to shoot features and cover the tragic and devastating floods which ravaged the country. He will be featuring some of this work at Photoforum.
Working for Britain's leading newspaper The Sun, Lee Thompson has been at the heart of many of the world's top breaking stories. Whether it is covering the disappearance of Madeline McCann or the Josef Fritzl case, Lee's photos have continuously graced the front pages. Always rising to the challenge, his work has taken him across the world to areas as diverse as war-torn Congo and the slums of India. His talent, dedication and passion for photography shines through his work which has appeared in numerous national newspapers and magazines. He started working as a photographer at 17 for the Chester Chronicle and moved to South West News Service in 2002.
Lee has been based in London and working for The Sun on a freelance basis since 2006 and will show us a range of his newspaper work.
