BBC Radio 4 - Snapshots, Series 1, Mark Neville at the Seaside Social Club

Following Mark Neville as he photographs an evening at a Port Talbot social club.

Following artist-photographer Mark Neville as he documents an evening at a social club in Port Talbot, South Wales.

Following four distinguished photographers at work on four very different photo shoots, exploring both sides of the story: the process of photographing and of being photographed.

It seems like we're all photographers now, and never have more photographs been taken - events documented, lives snapped, moments frozen. With high quality cameras in most back pockets these days, it's been estimated that a trillion photographs will be taken this year.

What are we doing when we point a camera at something - and why?

In this series we get behind the lens, as we hear about the process and practice of professional photographers. What motivates them? What are they trying to capture? Which shots work best? 

And, crucially, what do they think they're doing?

This week, following the artist-photographer Mark Neville as he documents an evening at the Seaside Social Club in Port Talbot, South Wales. 

Each programme will be accompanied by an on-line gallery of photographs.

Producer: Martin Williams.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
