Roger Reynolds Hons FRPS APAGB FBPPA FBPE

I have been involved in photography for more than 50 years and currently work as a professional travel photographer and independent consultant.
I have exhibited extensively throughout the world with exhibition acceptances in more than 40 countries worldwide totalling in excess of 4,000. I hold three fellowships of the Royal Photographic Society including an Honorary Fellowship. I also hold a Fellowship of the British Professional Photographer Association, obtained the first Fellowship of the British Photographic Exhibitions and the award for Meritorious Service from the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain. I was President of the Royal Photographic Society from 2003-2005, Chair of the London Salon from 2006-2008 and Chair of the Royal Photographic Society Distinction Advisory Board from 2011-2017.
For more than 35 years I have been travelling the globe undertaking photography. Since 1995 I have owned and operated Photoventures a successful travel company specialising in photography. I have organised and led tours to North and South America, New Zealand, Asia and Iceland. My photographic interests are wide from travel, nature, landscape, environmental portraits and sport photography. You can see more at rogerreynolds.co.uk.

Chris Palmer FRPS EFIAP APAGB DPAGB

Chris confesses to being a “photo-holic”, embracing all aspects of photography. Regarding himself primarily as a pictorialist, he particularly enjoys working in the landscape, but is happy to photograph in any location.
A busy national PAGB judge, Fotospeed Ambassador, and popular lecturer, Chris has visited over 285 different camera clubs, and judged many regional, national and international exhibitions. He is a Fellow of the RPS, serves as Chair on the RPS Visual Art Panel, an assessor on the Landscape panel, and provides advice at distinction advisory days and via on-line one2one sessions.
Chris is a retired air traffic controller, and a member of both Amersham Photographic Society and the prestigious London Salon.
