Canterbury Photographic Society Presentation
I was honoured to be invited to speak to the Canterbury Photographic Society about my portrait and headshot photography last night. The society meets weekly in the Tyler Hill Memorial Hall and its members shoot a wide range of different types of photos, with a wide range of levels of experience.
