Derek says - "I’ve been a photographer for many years, enjoying both the film and digital eras.  After 10 years as a portrait and wedding photographer I moved into mostly abstract Fine Art photography and photography training.  I've run about 30 workshops for the RPS, and led photographic holidays for HF holidays.  I love looking for the less obvious and using techniques such as camera movement and “bokeh” to produce abstract images. I am also an experienced competition judge; PDIs, prints and AV.

My Close-up and Macro Photography talk covers the equipment required, techniques, issues that arise – and how to solve them, and lighting for macro.
