Keswick Photographic Society can’t have ever had a more wide-ranging talk than this week’s from Jonny Gios who is a Jack of all trades and master of most.
He covered virtually the whole gamut of contemporary Cumbrian photography – primarily landscape, but showing people and places, wildlife, aviation, sport and photojournalism along with some drone photography and comments on videography.
He was able to give us an insight into the life of a semi-professional freelancer, from getting and planning jobs to technical aspects of their execution, post-processing and selling, but (as a regular camera club judge) he then critiqued his own images, giving us his thoughts on how he would improve them given another chance.
He touched on some of the challenges and his plans for future projects including elite sports photography and the dream of photographing Manchester City as proud Mancunian.
