Talk by Laurie Campbell a Fine Art Photographer based in Northern Ireland.

Laurie will talk about her work and the inspiration behind some of her images

"This talk will draw upon my images across a wide range of subjects to provoke discussion as to whether the term ‘fine art photography’ is justified. This controversy has raged for well over a century and a half and whereas commercial art galleries and museums in the USA regularly include contemporary photography in their exhibitions, it remains a rarity in the UK."
