Speaker - Martin Fry FRPS APAGB EFIAP/g AV-EFIAP

A warm welcome back to Stroud for our speaker this evening, Martin Fry FRPS APAGB EFIAP/g AV-EFIAP

Martin will take us on a journey to explore his "seeing eye". For hin there is nothing better than going out and just looking and capturing a moment in time, inspired by the beauty of his native Gloucestershire to the rugged coastline of the Cornish Peninsula.

A very active international exhibitor, Martin has gained over 4,000 acceptances in over 40 countries and some 500 awards! As well as taking individual images, Martin is one of the leading audio-visual workers in the country. Some of these will no doubt feature in the talk tonight.
