Sample photo by people places things

Hello!  I'm Andy Thorpe, a photographer with a range of photo interests based in Bearwood, West Midlands.

What's new?  Images can be found in EVENTS and PROJECTS, from where downloads and lab produced prints can be ordered. I've also produced some PHOTOBOOKS. The BLOG and my Facebook page contain stories behind some of my photo projects.

People, Places, Things?  Well, these three categories represent the range of images I produce and it seemed like a snappy name for a photo-based website so.....

As well as single images, such as those in the colour set on this page from my Licentiateship submission to the Royal Photographic Society (RPS), I also create themed bodies of work or "panels", like the black and white set for my successful Associateship submission. Panels are generally groups of images about a subject, event, idea or viewpoint. The RPS Contemporary Group promotes this approach to photography. Panels can also tell a story, eg a wedding. Such EVENTS and PROJECTS are something that I work on over various lengths of time - some of these even reach completion! 

Please contact me if there's a photo task you'd like me to get involved with or if you have any questions. Thanks for visiting!

Many thanks go to Smethwick Photographic Society, the RPS, RPS Contemporary Group and others (you know who you are) who have encouraged me with my photography over the years.
