A camera will very capably record what is in front of it, but it cannot record what the photographer feels. This talk explores methods of interpretation that enhance the raw content of the literal capture and transform it into something special.

 The talk includes some early darkroom work, dating from 1959, plus recent images from the UK and elsewhere.

Colin Westgate commenced his interest in photography in 1959, and it quickly became an essential part of his life. His early love of landscape has not diminished and he has travelled extensively, both in the UK and overseas, particularly to Iceland, to which he travels three or four times every year.. He was awarded Fellowship of the Royal Photographic Society in 1976 and in 1990, obtained Mastership of the International Federation of Photographic Art - at the time only the second British photographer to earn this distinction. More recently, he was awarded Mastership of the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain. He is also a Member of the London Salon of Photography and has sat on the panels for the Royal Photographic Society’s Licentiateship distinctions, and for Associate & Fellowship in Photographic Printing. He has exhibited throughout the world, gaining many awards and has been a selector at a number of home and International exhibitions. He lectures and judges at camera clubs throughout the U.K.
