I made it along to the Camera Club tonight and am very glad I did. Tonights guest speaker was Greg Whitmore, the picture editor for The Observer. He showed us some of the recent photographs that he’s commissioned for the Food Monthly magazine, and then some of the more recent news pictures. This sparked off a long and very interesting debate about all manner of news photography subjects, a lot of which related to the shock tactics used by some papers/photographers, and which turned the evening into the liveliest meeting I’ve been to so far.
