My Restless Lens - Dr KEITH SNELL PhD EFIAP EPSA LRPS

Thu 16 Sep 2021 7:00pm

The first lecture of the new season will be presented by Dr Keith Snell. My Restless Lens covers the broad range of his  photography: wildlife, figurative, abstract, and impressionist landscape. 

Keith spent his all his  professional life as a university teacher and research scientist. He was Reader in Biochemistry at the University of Surrey and then at the University of London and held Visiting Professor appointments at Harvard Medical School and Indiana University School of Medicine in the USA.

However, he has also been a keen photographer for over 50 years. He holds photographic distinctions of the Royal Photographic Society (LRPS), the Fedération Internationale de l'Art Photographique (EFIAP) and the Photographic Society of America (EPSA). My images have gained over 30 medals and 150 commendation ribbons from international salon competitions run under the auspices of these organisations and a nature image was commended in the 2015 Sony World Photography awards. He is therefore well qualified to talk about photography.

Below are a few comments from other photographic clubs:

"This informative, widespread and thought provoking presentation has, undoubtedly provided multiple possibilities for our members to try in the future and the painstaking precision with which Keith composes his work must be a salutary lesson to us all. An evening that surely will remain long in the memory of those of us who had the pleasure see it". (Sodbury & Yate Photographic Club, 23rd November 2020)

"You gave us a very rounded tour of different photographic genres covering your various interests. You clearly have a very artistic and creative eye which comes over in all aspects of your photography. I was also pleased that you gave lots of technical hints and tips along the way, which is always appreciated by our Intermediate workers who gain so much from presentations of this type". (Saltburn Photographic Society, 2nd December 2020)
