This was a great evening even if I do say so myself ! Seventy plus people turned up enjoying our pictures and the stories that go with them, and they had some great questions as well. Looking forward to the next one !

Together with another photographer, Stefan Rouseau we are giving a talk about our work and the story behind our images, I have put the details below and also there is a link below to book tickets.

Thank you!

 

Geoff, a big Thank You for judging our Albert Bale portrait competition , last night. You were a breath of fresh air compared to the last judge we had who wanted to crop almost every image! You were a very popular judge with the assembled members and many positive comments were made about your style and manner of presentation.

 

Thank you very much on behalf of the W&DPS

Earlier this month I spoke at Potters Bar Photographic Society showing a selection of photographs from my magazine and newspaper day. They meet on Monday evening at The Wyllyotts Centre, Potters Bar and they are a most friendly and hospitable club. The pictures I showed ranged from an assignment I did for The Sunday Mirror in Baalbek, Lebanon about the drug trade, portraits I did for YOU magazine and PEOPLE magazine and finally some of my personal work that has been on show at ‘eightyfour’, my gallery in Wanstead, London.

If you live in Hertfordshire or surrounding area and are interested in photography do check out their website and consider a visit to Potters Barr & District Photographic Society.

 

“Dear Geoff

 

Thank you so much for coming back to see us again last night.

It was great to see some more famous faces that you had photographed in the past but

especially good to see some of your latest work taken in and around your own stamping ground.

As Colin said, it was not just the pictures but your own unique style of delivery and the wealth of stories that was so appealing.

If I was on a long train journey, you would be the man I would want to sit next to!

 

With kind regards

Graham”
