The Contrasting Worlds of Police & Wedding Photography...They May Be Closer Than You Think! Wednesday 26 June 2013

Join us on Wednesday 26 June, near Crook in County Durham, for talks on Police and Wedding photography by two Fellows of the BIPP.

10am-1pm - Police Photography with Phil Grieveson FBIPP

Copyright: The College of Policing

Phil Grieveson has been interested in photography most of his life and involved in forensic imaging since 1973. Until 1989 this mainly involved photography at crime scenes, both as a Divisional CSI and as the Principal Photographer on the Major Scenes of Crime Team with Durham Constabulary.  Since 1989 Phil has been teaching Forensic Photography to Police Image Makers at The College of Policing.

Phil will spend the morning talking about the different areas of Police photography, including his own personal experiences throughout his career, most notably the South East Asian Tsunami in 2004. He will also do a couple of demonstrations with high intensity light sources in order to fluoresce fingerprints and footwear marks.

WARNING: This talk will include graphic content, so attendees must be a minimum of 18 years of age.

Redeye at LOOK/13 Festival - Liverpool 16 –18 May 2013


Redeye, The Photography Network is excited to return to The Bluecoat and to be part of LOOK/13, one of the UK’s leading international photography festivals.
 
Redeye are programming a series of events at the LOOK/13 opening weekend. All events are ticketed and need to be booked in advance. For ticket prices and booking information please visit www.redeye.org.uk/redeye-programme.
Thursday 16 May: Focus on portfolios and two talks
The weekend commences with Portfolio, Critique and Advice Sessions where you can book in for half an hour with one or two of our experts to discuss business and career issues or for advice on your portfolio, and a Portfolio Development Workshop with Alina Kisina.
Alina Kisina is a Ukrainian photographer living in London, frequently returning to her native land to continue an ongoing series of remarkably evocative pictures that use a mixture of abstraction and representation that suggest a reality beyond what is seen by the eye. This exclusive two-hour workshop has space for a group of 4 photographers only. 

These events are followed by The Perfect Portfolio, a talk by Redeye director Paul Herrmann. For many photographers their portfolio is the key way to show their work to others, but it doesn't always go as well as it could. This talk outlines the relatively simple ways you can improve your portfolio and its presentation.
At night Redeye will introduce two special guests to introduce the fifth National Photography Symposium taking place the following day. One of these is celebrated Liverpool-based landscape photographer John Davies who will talk about The Landscape as Self-Portrait. The talk will be about photography and the editing, selection and choices we make individually and collectively.
Friday 17 May: The National Photography Symposium
Now and next in photography
The fifth National Photography Symposium, the gathering place for ideas and discussion about photography, presents an unmissable survey of the current state of photography. Top experts, thinkers and commentators offer the most interesting perspectives on what's happening now and next in the medium.
A must for photographers who want to understand the forces behind UK photography; to anyone working with photography, and to those studying and writing about photography. It's an intelligent but non-academic event.
The morning session explores developments in the culture, technology and interpretation of photography. The afternoon looks at work, institutions and funding.
Speakers include amongst others:
Howard Hopwood, Chairman and New Business Director of Harman Technology (Ilford Photo), who looks at science, manufacturing and technology in traditional products.

Alexandra Moschovi, art historian, critic, independent curator and Programme Leader of MA Photography at Sunderland University will explore new technologies of image making (from Google glasses, Photosynth and Klynt to geotagging and Instagram) and how these affect everyday, popular uses of photography.
Dr Raoul Eshelman, lecturer in Slavic Literature at the Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich seeks to identify and discuss photographs that are no longer postmodern - visual images that impose upon us an experience of beauty and transcendence whether we like it or not. 

Susan Jones, Director of a-n The Artists Information Company will discuss the current climate and future approaches for supporting visual arts practice and impacts on artists' livelihoods.
Nick Dunmur, commercial and advertising photographer, a non-executive director of the AOP, and the Chair of the British Photographic Council and Gwen Thomas, Legal & Business Director of the Association of Photographers explore life as a working photographer in 2013 and beyond, and the current challenges around the law and business.
Immediately after the last NPS5 session the launch of the LOOK/13 Photography Festival takes place in The Bluecoat.
Saturday 18 May
Redeye at LOOK/13 continues on Saturday with Photography Activists Boot Camp.
This nuts-and-bolts workshop is aimed at photographers who have an interest in getting involved in the politics of photography, and are keen to do more to campaign on a range of issues that affect photography - access, law, copyright, dealing with authorities and protecting freedom of expression. It will outline the various key issues and explore past and existing campaigns, including both successful and less successful examples, to see what lessons can be learnt.
We are grateful to the London Photographers' branch of the National Union of Journalists for supporting this event.
And we are delighted to welcome photographer Tom Wood, 'Photie Man', for his first public talk in the city where he made the majority of his work. This event is a very rare opportunity where he will show a broad selection of work and answer questions. The event is followed by the Liverpool launch and signing of his new book in two volumes, Men and Women.
All events take place at The Bluecoat, School Lane, Liverpool, L1 3BX, United Kingdom
