Linda Wevill FRPS EFIAP/b is a creative photographer and her aim is to achieve a soft painterly effect in her work and to capture the essence of a place. She wants to express a personal depiction of her environment, looking beyond the obvious, to capture the atmosphere of the scene and the vision she is trying to convey.
Within the first part of her talk she will be going through creative in-camera techniques to give ideas and to help members express their creative vision in their own work. In the second half she will be going through her two RPS Fellowships.
Linda is a Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society. She has gained two Fellowships, the first in May 2013 and the second in June 2022, both in the Visual Art Photography category. She is a Guest Editor for the RPS Visual Art Group magazine and has gained the EFIAP Bronze distinction (Excellence of the International Federation of Photographic Art).
Linda’s work is exhibited widely both within the UK and internationally, including at the Royal Albert Hall, the National Theatre and the Oxo Gallery in London and at the Huangshan Yixian International Festival in China. She has had her images and articles published in numerous magazines and other publications.
Linda’s image was Commended in the Landscape Photographer of the Year 2013 and her print was in the Exhibition touring the country, as well as being published in the Take-a-View Awards book. Her image was also selected by Camden Graphics for their Take-a-View range of greetings cards sold for Christmas 2015 and 2016.
Linda’s first book, entitled ‘Creative Photography’ was published in July 2019. She enjoys sharing her expertise with others and is in demand as a speaker around the country and has also run numerous creative workshops for the RPS and camera clubs.
