Colin Southgate has been involved in photography since about 1986. He still has a fondness for monochrome despite switching
to digital imaging about eight years ago. A late passion for darkroom
lith printing has influenced his digital direction considerably.
Mike Howell specialises in fine art photography with an emphasis on monochrome work although he also shoots in colour.
Some of our members have their own websites, where you are welcome to view their images:
