South West Visual Art Group

There's a little about the past - a few darkroom pictures, but in the main it's about a progression, a few single image sketches, but mainly several short themes - including battlefields, Urban/Industrial settings landscapes, portraits and Hebridean landscape some of which are among my most recent work.

Much of what's in this selection is emotive, atmospheric, not always 'pretty', it leans on nostalgia and on how I use light and geometry.”

Leigh is well known to many of us in the South West so I know that we are in for a real treat.  He is a double Fellow of the RPS and holds FIAP and PAGB distinctions. He has taught photography for Gloucester and Cheltenham colleges, for Jessops, Permajet, Time-Line events and landscape workshops, both in the UK and abroad.

 For more details about his work, please see http://www.leighpreston.co.uk/index.htm

The afternoon session will be an opportunity for our participants to show and talk about their work.  This can be presented in both digital and print format. 

Tickets (£10) will be available from the RPS website closer to the date. 

This event is open to all – RPS members and Non-Members.  Everybody is welcome!  

If you have any queries, please contact me on visualartsouthwest@rps.org

 Finally, at our last meeting in March 2025, we were offered an opportunity to exhibit our work at TAAG in Teignmouth. It will be an Open Photography exhibition to be held 28th June – 4th July 2025.  If you are interested in exhibiting your work, please let me know and I will put you in touch with the Organiser.
