This year for Lichfield Camera Club's annual "Evening With . . . "
on 21st September 2010, we are pleased to welcome renowned landscape photographer Colin Prior  http://www.colinprior.co.uk  

His talk will describe his work in the Scottish Highlands and what it takes to capture his superb images at dusk and dawn. He will also explore his fascination of the relationships between elements of the natural world and how he goes about capturing them, describing his ambition to raise awareness of the environment to younger generations.

Recognised internationally, he has spent the past 25 years, documenting the world's wildest places, chasing his fascination with the natural world. His award-winning images, often created at the furthest extremes of the Earth, have taken on iconic status.  From the shifting ice sheets of Greenland to the oxygen-starved Atacama Desert, from the icy spires of Pakistan’s Karakoram Mountains to the absolute isolation of New Zealand’s Fiordland, he has created an awesome collection of photographs of the world’s last remaining wildernesses.

He has produced award winning work for, TSB, Visit Scotland, Hilton, William Grant & Sons, Belhaven and Bowmore. During the 1990s he travelled over a million miles to 35 countries whilst shooting British Airways’ corporate calendar.  His work regularly features in galleries, bookshops and outdoor retailers, throughout the UK.

Tickets will be priced at £12 and £15 from the Lichfield Garrick Theatre Box Office - 01543 412121 and should be going on general sale towards the end of May.
