Ken Scott: It’s All in the Mind: an Introduction to Photopsychology, an illustrated talk at St Mary’s

Join us at St Mary’s for Ken Scott ARPS APAGB MBPsS and his illustrated talk entitled It’s All in the Mind: an Introduction to Photopsychology.

It’s All in the Mind – An introduction to Photopsychology

What is it that influences us to see what we see (or don’t see) and to like what we like?  What is the effect of compositions and colours?  How are you responding to facial expression and body language?  How do our minds and our social environments influence how we see, think, feel and behave as photographers?

The trouble is, we give everything a label. It is how we understand the world. What happens if we take the labels away? If we go back to the fundamentals of seeing?

This presentation goes where nobody else goes. We will take seeing back to the raw elements of contrast and light. We will explore the basics of visual cognition that enable us to make sense of the world around us. We will look at lines, colours, expression and emotion. We will celebrate how we see uniquely.

Let us explore photography under the surface. Let us better understand our responses to images and the things we see.

Vanda Ralevska: The Scenic Detour, an illustrated talk at St Mary's

Join us at St Mary’s for an illustrated talk entitled The Scenic Detour, with Vanda Ralevska.

“Many times my photographs are a response to the moment in time that I find myself in, however quite often I like to focus on a particular subject. Over time I realised that only one image is not enough to reflect the way I see and feel about the world around me. Therefore, in recent years I have been focusing on working in projects rather than capturing individual images. In my presentation I will be discussing my ongoing photographic projects and how they help in developing a personal view.”

Simon Roberts, Landscape Studies of a Small Island at St Mary’s

“Roberts’ captivating and technically accomplished large-format pictures reveal much about modern humanity-a tapestry of the beautiful, the poignant, the surprising and the surreal. He encourages us to slow down, to spend time contemplating his images and, in turn, contemplate the complex society in which we all live.”

Susanna Brown, Curator. V&A
