From portraiture to landscape, architecture to wildlife and fine art to street photography, Richmond and Twickenham Photographic Society's annual exhibition celebrates the wonderful diversity of photography. 

Hundreds of images will be on display at the Landmark Arts Centre in Ferry Road, Teddington, from 7 to 16 April with the Royal Photographic Society's Visual Art Group once more joining the event with its 2023 exhibition. Pupils from St. Catherine's School for Girls in Twickenham will also be showcasing their work. 

New this year will be four workshops with street fashion photographer John Phillips on 13 and 15 April giving practical advice on the use of on and off camera flash. There will also be a demonstration on 8 April from award-winning fine art flower photographer Jocelyn Horsfall showing how you can create startling designs and patterns using the cyanotype printing process (or sun printing as it is often known).   See https://www.rtps.org.uk/rtps-photographic-exhibition-2023/ for more details. The charge is £5 per session but this then gives you free entry to the exhibition. 

The exhibition will be opened by Simon Street who is one of RTPS's more decorated members, this year gaining his 7th Fellowship with the Royal Photographic Society. their highest distinction. Of the 11,000 RPS members worldwide, less than 600 have achieved a Fellowship and it is thought that only one other has seven. No mean feat when you consider that Simon picked up his first digital camera just six years ago. Simon's striking black and white images will be on display at the exhibition. 

 The exhibition will be open daily from 10 am to 4 pm 7-16 April including during the Easter Bank Holidays, with a £3.00 admission charge (children free). 

Visitors have the opportunity to buy exhibits and are also encouraged to vote for their favourite image. Tea and coffee will be available in the Landmark café where visitors can watch an additional display of digital images.  A selection of greetings cards and second-hand photographic books and equipment will also be available to buy.
