Penryn Camera club members who have portfolios

I started my photographic journey in the darkroom, developing black and white photographs.
When I purchased my first digital camera it was like heaven, as I could then stop using nasty smelling chemicals.

I use a Lumix Panasonic DMC-FZ 1000 camera

My interests are Travel and landscapes

My camera gear is Nikon D850 with Nikor lenses. My preferred genres are Dance, Portraiture and Wildlife, BUT I will try my hands at most things.

I’ve been passionate about photography for over 75 years. My journey began with a second-hand Agfa Record III, a 6x9, 8-exposure folding roll-film camera. Since those early analogue days, I’ve loved exploring all aspects of the craft through various camera systems. In 1999, I took the leap into the digital age, at great cost at the time, with an Olympus C900Z digital camera, which opened up a whole new world of photography.

Embracing digital photography also meant diving headfirst into Photoshop and Lightroom Classic. Despite the initial trials and tribulations of mastering the software, I now thoroughly enjoy the creative and technical freedom of digital editing and crafting composite images.

I first became inspired with photography after visiting a local photographic exhibition back in 2015.

I use both a Nikon DSLR and a Sony mirrorless camera.

Hello! I'm Carolin Coward! Commonly known as Carol! That started when I started work and the Supervisor said 'Carolin? Too much of a mouthful!' Well, who was I to argue with a Supervisor?

I first joined in the early days when we were Penryn Photographic Society." 

A Nikon user, I've tackled many subjects over the years but my main interests are wildlife and close up / macro work.

Professional Photographer, enjoys street photography

I'm a wildlife artist and first started taking photographs as reference for my paintings, but since then I have become interested in photography as an end in itself.

I started taking photographs about 20 years ago and am drawn to landscape, nature and old buildings. For the last 8 years I haven’t done much due to family commitments.

I describe myself as a dyslexic photographer. I’m 99% about composition and 1% technical (and that’s on a good day).

Enthusiastic and eager to learn from my Penryn Camera Club friends.

Photography has been my love since I claimed the family Kodak camera at the age of 14. I did my first Photography course at Paddington College in the 80s in Scientific & Technical Photography when I worked as a Scientific Photographer with the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine...taking photos of everything from experiments, patients with Tropical diseases and Royal visits.

I shoot with a Nikon Z50 and particularly enjoy taking photos of the nature and wildlife in Cornwall.

I have been interested in photography for many years. As a teacher of Geography and Geology I had an interest the natural world and I often used my own images in lessons.

My father was a keen photographer, but I did not catch the bug from him. Rather, at the age of 25, myself, wife and a six week old, relocated to Kenya, where I worked for 5 years. You cannot live in such a place without a big wish to capture the experiences on camera.

Average amateur, enjoys landscapes, seascapes and editing

My wife Irene and I moved to Cornwall around 48 years ago. Seeing the expert surfers out I would try to capture the moments.

I’m a very amateur photographer and have enjoyed playing with a camera for many years. I love the Cornish coast and the contrast of land and sea.

I joined Penryn Camera Club in 2009, with my Husband Brian, having been encouraged by my brother in law, Raymond,  who has been a Member for many years.
