[number removed]Photography
With summer and summer holidays on us again, it's the time of the year when cameras come into their own. But unfortunately, pictures of people and places don't always measure up to the real thing - snaps are often disappointingly blurred; mysteriously, people seem to lose their heads or feet. So how do you improve your photography?
Michael Langford, senior tutor in photography at the Royal College of Art, and photo-journalist Roger Clark will be in the studio to give help and advice to the holiday snapper or the would-be professional. Jill Burridge is in the Chair.
