Forthcoming Events for 2022
At present RPS Southeast Region is concentrating on continuing to offer Virtual Workshops and Talks. Here are the Events planned for 2022
Plants, Panels and Passion
The RHS Portfolio Photography Competition dates back to 1913 when medals were first awarded for photography of plants and gardens. Today, the competition is a vibrant celebration of plants, gardens and gardeners through the lens of professional and amateur photographers alike. In 2021 the shortlisted Portfolios were exhibited at Saatchi Gallery in London, representing the start of an exciting new chapter in the competition’s life.
In this Talk, Polina Plotnikova and Siân Tyrrell discuss what makes a successful RHS Portfolio Entry, provide insights into the judging process and offer guidance for photographers considering entering for Portfolio now or in the future. Showcasing successful portfolio panels from the last few years and discussing how the competition entries might develop in the future, this is a unique opportunity to see under the hood of this amazing competition.
This course continues the theme set by Celia Henderson. It is suitable for those who have previously attended Photoshop for the Creative Flower Photographer and anyone who is looking to develop their Photoshop skills well beyond the basics.

In this entertaining and informative workshop presentation, Adobe Lightroom Expert Joe Houghton works through his complete workflow from Import, culling and initial selection of images to edit. He then processes a set of the images, using many different techniques from Lightroom's extensive capabilities and tools including sky selections, detailed masking, HDR combining of multiple bracketed shots, and even combining multiple light trails into a stunning final composite in Photoshop. Joe's Lightroom demonstrations always make for an instructive and compelling session.
In this talk, Joe takes you through the fascinating process of creating a photo book. Writing, editing, formatting and then the practicalities of getting the manuscript up onto Amazon KDP and other services - all is explained in an accessible way.
Joe has even set up his own publishing house - Sherpa Press - to help others go through the process and become authors with books on Amazon and in other outlets.
Everyone has a book in them - let this talk help you become a published author!
In this talk, Joe explores a selection of free to use programmes that will allow you to edit your images for free! All the programmes shown will work on both Windows and Mac platforms and are completely free to use for personal (non-commercial) use.
By the end of this course the attendee will have designed a photobook. The course will start with planning and research, followed by sequencing and design, and lastly printing the book itself.
A successful documentary project is a lot more than just a set of photographs of something. During this course you will learn how to develop your project concept, create the photography, and then disseminate your work in a powerful way.
A REPEAT of this newly designed Workshop with Celia Henderson, Photoshop: Introduction to Brushes, Patterns and Textures, taking your skills that bit further.
Workshop over 4 weeks starting 13th January 2022.
