Susan Brown FRPS

Susan Brown FRPS: Sue has been serious about photography for 45 years. During that time she traversed the RPS Distinction process, Licentiate in 1981, Associate in 1983 and Fellowship in 1991 with a panel of mono darkroom prints. Her second FRPS was attained in 2019 in 'Conceptual and Contemporary'. Sue was on the Distinctions Committee for several years and then became Chair of the Visual Art Genre. She was awarded the Fenton Medal at the RPS in 2022.

Sue has a strong interest in Arts for Health, a Founder & Chair of the Company ‘MK Arts 4 Health’, she worked to gain the company charitable status, and it is still successful to this day and is working with Arts on Prescription. Her work can therefore be seen in several hospitals. Sue’s photography spans many genres as her web site amply demonstrates: https://www.susanbrownphotography.co.uk

Presentations
Sue will talk about developing styles which over time change. Science, technology, age and geography all make that inevitable. Photography is a lifelong learning. Sue will show and describe both her Fellowship panels

Sue is a very popular speaker, albeit rather modest. This is an excellent opportunity to hear her in person and discover how she produces her incredible Photographs, as illustrated above.

Thames Valley Region AGM & Joe Houghton presentation
AGM 2pm
In this talk, Joe Houghton takes a fascinating and sometimes challenging look into the fast-changing world of photography as it is being affected and changed by artificial intelligence.  Whether it’s AI apps such as Topaz, On1, Luminar or DXO, old favourites like Lightroom and Photoshop, or other less well-known ones, Joe will give you a lot to think about and spark some discussion on what is happening around us, whether we like it or not!
