The Punks are visiting NCPS this week!...

Steampunks that is!

Yes, you heard right. This week at club (Thursday 3rd October) we’re being visited by two models dressed as Steampunks. According to Wikipedia, “Steampunk is a subgenre of science fiction or science fantasy that incorporates technology and aesthetic designs inspired by 19th-century industrial steam-powered machinery”

We intend to have two lighting setups configured and will emulate some of what Glyn Dewis showed us last week to get some cracking portraits.

Hilary and Laurie are doing this for the love of it, so I would appreciate some images to be able to send them for their troubles. If you’re not happy with that, please leave your camera at home.

Unfortunately for non-members, this is a members only evening

Included below are some images of Hilary and Laurie in their amazing costumes!

This coming Thursday (30th July)

This week is the last week of our summer programme for the 2014/2015 season until September when we resume our normal schedule.

We are meeting at 19:00 at the Tree Cathedral at Newlands (near Willen) for a portrait evening.

I've been told (I've not had a chance to recce) that the car park may be closed from 18:00 - so I suggest if you can't park there, to park at Willen Lake and make the short walk over. 

We have model Nix (Purpleport profile: http://purpleport.com/portfolio/nixbrown/) and her partner joining us. Outfits will be "fashion and bohemian" in nature. 

All are welcome to attend, members and non members alike! Come along and meet us if you're interested in photography!

Looking forward to seeing you.
