Fear of Flying, with Paul Mitchell [BRAND NEW]

This is a brand new presentation from Paul, who is one of our most highly regarded presenters on Camversation! This time, Paul shares his passion for photographing locally (or within easy reach) and the opportunities this can offer people who are willing to invest the time and effort!

While many photographers feel the pull of distant locations, Paul has found that staying grounded - quite literally - offers a far richer creative experience.

In this presentation, Paul explains why he chooses to work within the confines of the UK and how his 'fear of flying' became the catalyst for a deeper connection with his local environment.

This isn’t about missing out on travel; it is about the immense advantage of familiarity. By revisiting the same local landscapes through changing seasons, shifting weather, and varying light, Paul uncovers subtle details and moments that the 'tourist photographer' simply misses. If you want to experience how to find world-class images within a few miles of your front door, this is the session for you.

This presentation will include:

• The Local Advantage: How revisiting familiar spots allows you to capture lighting and conditions that traveling photographers rarely see.

• Design & Composition: How Paul’s 45-year career in Graphic Design influences the way he balances shape, form, and texture in the landscape.

• Creative Sustainability: How to build a diverse, high-quality portfolio without the cost or stress of international travel.

About Paul: Paul Mitchell is a Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society (FRPS) and a highly respected figure in the UK photography scene. With a background in Graphic Design spanning four decades, his eye for composition is second to none. He is a passionate educator, a workshop leader and a firm believer that the best images are often found right on our doorstep.

From Mark: I am always delighted when Paul joins us at Camversation. His work is technically superb, but it’s his eye for design that really sets him apart. This is a wonderful reminder that we don't need a plane ticket to be creative - we just need to look a little closer at home.
