Canterbury Photographic Society Polina Plotnikova is a most sought after speaker and rarely travels to Kent. Canterbury Photographic Society were thrilled that she agreed to come to their meeting on Wednesday evening and the club was able to extend an invite to other Kent club members. Polina was born in Russia and studied Art History at Moscow University but she now lives in the UK. She spent many years working in museum and gallery archives and curated exhibitions for galleries. Through her love of some of the most famous Flower and Still Life artists she began her own photographic journey 20 years ago, emulating styles of some of the painters she had long admired. She has exhibited in numerous Salons and has been awarded Gold Medals and Photographer of The Year by organisations including The Royal Horticultural Society, International Garden Photographer of The Year and Food Photographer of The Year. She now has the honour of being chosen to judge this year’s Food Photographer of the Year competition. On February 6 the very talented Commercial Photographer Chris Lee will deliver his presentation ‘Work All Week, Then Take Pictures For Fun’. This promises to be a very entertaining evening. Non members welcome £3 admission. Please visit website for more information or contact Wendy Kennett on 07540519182 www. canterburyphotographicsociety. com
