Portrait photography: More than a face.

What makes a portrait truly memorable? It’s rarely just the lighting, the lens or the camera. The strongest portraits come from a balance of technical control, creative intention and genuine human connection.

Join portrait photographer Hannah Couzens for an inspiring talk exploring how technical decisions and personal interaction work together to create compelling portraits. Through real-world examples and behind-the-scenes stories, Hannah will share how conversation, light, composition and timing can all combine to bring out the best in your subject.

This session will look beyond camera settings and equipment, focusing on the choices that help shape mood, character and connection within a portrait. From building trust with your subject to making small lighting and compositional decisions that elevate an image, Hannah will offer practical insight for photographers looking to create stronger, more engaging portraits.

• 14:00 - 15:00 Ian Munro Seminar | Sponsored by Wex & SONY

The joy of Making: Finding Creative Fulfilment in the Age of Ai

As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly capable of generating images, a question arises for photographers and other creatives: if a machine can produce the result, where does that leave the joy of creating?

Ian's talk explores the enduring value of personal creativity in a world shaped by AI. Rather than focusing on technology itself, it examines the satisfaction that comes from seeing, making, learning, and accomplishing something through your own effort. Photography is more than the final image, it is the experience of observation, problem solving, experimentation, and growth that happens along the way.

15:00 - 16:00 Damien Demolder | Sponsored by Wex

Building A Street Picture

In this new talk Damien explains how he breaks the world into visual components, and how he uses those ideas and concepts to focus his and the viewer’s attention in the street photography that he creates. Of course decisive moments matter, as do the stories behind each human interaction, but we can’t convey any form of message in our pictures unless people look at them. Surely our first step must be to make sure what we show is eye-catching and exciting.

Damien will also be holding a photowalk after the talk directly from the Wex store.
