Art lovers! If a lecture entitled The Art of Seeing makes John Berger come to mind, then you won’t go far wrong.  Benedict Brain is a UK-based photographer, journalist and author whose work explores the emotional and philosophical territory behind the photographic images we create.

Benedict Brain balances his personal practice with writing about photography and running photography workshops and enrichment programmes. He is an award-winning journalist and writes a monthly column called The Art of Seeing. His first book, You Will Be Able to Take Great Photos By the End of this Book was published by Ilex Press (Octopus Publishing) in March 2023 with translations into Spanish, German, Bulgarian and a USA edition published by Prestel. His second book A Camera Bag Companion was published by Ilex Press in March 2024.
Benedict is often seen on the judging panel of prestigious photo competitions and in 2020 he founded Potato Photographer of the Year.  Benedict travels internationally as a public speaker talking about the art and craft of photography.

Benedict will be taking questions from the audience on the evening of his talk and audience members will be able to purchase prints at the end of the event.
