Location: This meeting is in St Peter's Church Hall, Free Street, Bishop's Waltham, SO32 1EE. David will be joining us via Zoom

About David: He graduated from the Fine Art Photography (BA Hons) course at the Glasgow School of Art in 2001 and has been working hard to establish himself as a respected professional photographer and artist ever since. He specialises in long-exposure photography (the art of ‘Light Painting’) as well as macro photography (my ‘Little People’ and Toy series).

Talk: Have you met the ‘Little People’ yet? These tiny figurines have travelled the globe more extensively than I have, as they continue to appear in publications and on walls all over the world. Each figure stands at only 2cm tall, meaning that creating this work is a rather delicate (yet incredibly rewarding) process
