Documentary Photography and  The Relationship between Photography and Art


Did you know that it is the only one of its kind to be held in Wales?

It’s the only chance for photographers from the whole of Wales to get together to share their enthusiasm, exchange ideas and maybe learn something new along the way.

While the University dates from 1822, the accommodation is definitely 21st century with Single rooms on Campus, all with en-suite facilities. Good food – self-service breakfast and lunch, three-course waitress service dinner on Saturday night, with tea, coffee and biscuits served at intervals through the day. There is always a party mood in the evenings and a chance to enjoy a glass of wine with good friends.Our speakers will take you around the world with their photography. Margaret Collis and Roger and Judith Parry with their travel PDIs and Margery and Kevin Maskell with their nature PDIs. Dianne Owen will dazzle us with her artistic prints and Graham Sergeant will give us something new to think about with his talk on the relationship between photography and art and his documentary photography.
If you want to know a little more about lighting, model Josephine Gypsy Curl will be joining Roger Parry to put you on the right road – and don’t forget the prize draw, the print competition and the trade stands.
The market town of Lampeter dates from medieval times and is set in the beautiful Teifi Valley. It is only 13 miles from Aberaeron with its harbour and brightly painted Georgian houses and 11 miles from Tregaron, a stopping place for the drovers on their way over the Cambrian Mountains to the Abergwesyn Mountain Pass. Just north of Tregaron are the ruins of Strata Florida, a twelfth century Cistercian Abbey.
So, if you like your photography to include shots of beautiful valleys, wild uplands, ancient ruins or the sweep of a coastline, then come along to Lampeter. Come early on Friday or stay an extra day and have a marvellous photo shoot as well.

All this, and for the bargain price of £110 for the full weekend (£5 off before 31 July). If you want to stay on Friday night (or an extra night) B & B will cost you only £30. If you can’t make the whole weekend, then book for just a day at £34 (less £2 before 31 July).

You can download a booking form  here, or ring me (Rosemary) on 01792 893438 or 07979 866646.

So, just £105 for two days full board, two full days of lectures, a lighting class and a competition, with a brilliant raffle thrown in. How can you beat that!!

2009 – A quote from lecturer Brian Swinyard said it all,

The programme was all-embracing, outstanding and indeed offered something for everyone. The quality of images presented was first class and the speakers were very engaging. I heard nothing but praise from all quarters of the audience.There was good social interaction throughout the weekend and the food was fabulous. You have every reason to be proud of your efforts in organizing such a fabulous, stimulating and interesting weekend. Congratulations and very well done.“.

Don’t miss out on what will be another excellent weekend in 2010.
