We were incredibly lucky that Jonathan was able to fit St Ives into his very busy schedule to deliver this talk.

A member of the London Salon of Photography, Jonathan is a multiple exposure (M.E.) specialist. Most of his work involves in-camera techniques along with final image adjustments in Photoshop. Based in Bedford, he works as a photographic educator for many organisations including the RPS. He is known for teaching Photoshop from the basics to advanced techniques. He works with individuals and professional photographers at all levels as well as assisting them to discover and develop their creativity. He also leads residential workshops throughout Europe in conjunction with Travelling Lens Photo Tours. He is a Permajet Envoy, affiliated to Q-Image, Jessops, Cartridge Monkey, WEX Photo and Video and DxO Labs, teaching the NIK collection on their behalf. He is an A panel National Judge and a member of Beyond Group

In the first section of his talk, Nick discusses mining photography that he researched to inform him about his own approach to the project. He also explains what free mining is and how he published a book of his work (there should be a few copies still available to purchase at the talk). After the break he will go through a number of his images, how he shot them and the challenges he faced. He finishes by talking about postproduction and printing, showing physical examples from his F panel which the audience is also encouraged to look at throughout the evening.
