About the Scotland Region
As a large region we try to appeal to members all over Scotland with events from North of Inverness to South of Edinburgh. We try to have as many events as members wish with Distinction Advisory Days, informal constructive feedback days, Celebrations of Distinctions, a Travelling Print Exhibition, Lecture Series, and the Dunfermline Weekend every second year. Although with present restrictions, this has been put on hold. The Region encourages as many special interest groups as wish to participate in it. We aim to be informal and welcoming. For any further information, just drop me an email to either me or any of the committee members and we will endeavour to reply as soon as possible.

David Collyer FRPS - Documentary Photographer of the Year 2021
In another of you RPS Scotland talks, we present David Collyer FRPS a South Wales based photographer.
As a documentary photographer who works predominantly on long term projects, he returned to shooting film a few years ago, preferring a sixty-year-old Leica and the anticipation of what he’s captured, to the certainty of over-shooting with a modern digital camera.
His work has been published internationally, and has appeared in magazines and newspapers, as well as the book All in a Day’s Work, documenting hospital staff during the Covid-19 pandemic. His photo of a shattered theatre practitioner appeared on the front page of a national newspaper and was one of a top magazine’s photos of the year in 2020.
He is currently working on a further two books, and is a Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society, as well as being named Documentary Photographer of the Year 2021.
