Medieval Meets Modern: Shooting Clerkenwell, Cripplegate & Finsbury is a photographic record of the area around where our Photographic Society has been meeting since 1899. We have been collaborating with Islington Local History Centre and Museum, and have amassed over 1200 usable photos. Only a fraction can be displayed in the Museum. From Monday 21st May you can see more of our exhibition in the bar of The Horseshoe, Clerkenwell Close, EC1R 0AG. From 12th June another section will go up at Islington Local History Centre inside Finsbury Library.
We are very grateful to Mark Aston and the team at Islington Local History Centre & Museum who have been helping us for over a year with this project.

Paul Sanders talk 16th May |
|
We had a very special talk on Landscape Photography by Paul Sanders, who was picture editor of the Times from 2004 to 2011. Paul said that at the Times he received up to 17,000 photos a day. He's been shooting landscapes on 5x4 film because it slowed the whole process down. He has mostly been shooting in black and white without much intervention in Photoshop. Paul also spoke about "sketching" - shooting on an iPhone for the liberating experience of shooting creatively without having to worry about technique. He's also been using a Sprocket Rocket.
This was an inspirational talk by a passionate photographer who spoke of the need to take photos everyday.
Paul showed many spectacular pictures of the Northern Lights and leads workshops with Andy Keen in Inari, Finland to share this magical experience with other photographers. |

We are a central London based photo group, meeting in EC1, just north of the Barbican. We aim to improve the quality of our members' photography through meeting and discussing each other's work, as well as through our fortnightly lecture series. Club members include beginners, enthusiasts and professionals. You don't need to own an expensive camera to become a good photographer. One year's membership of City of London and Cripplegate Photographic Society will improve your photography for little cost.
All are welcome to attend our varied programme of lectures, workshops and competitions. We simply have a suggested donation of £3 for non-members, to help cover the cost of the room hire.
