Club Reports

The London Salon Portfolio

06 February 2008

At their meeting on 6th February, Dawlish and Teignmouth Camera Club were entertained with a showing of the 2006 exhibition of the London Salon of Photography, accompanied by a taped commentary from Roger Reynolds.

The showing consisted of 80 prints transcribed to 35mm slides demonstrating a wide range of subjects and made all the more interesting by the accompanying commentary giving an expert view on the individual image.

The London Salon of Photography is a unique body of photographers, from world wide membership, whose sole aim is to exhibit, annually, the very best of pictorial photographic imagery. Membership of the Salon is by invitation only and dates back to 1893, the interest being with photography as an art and to “encourage that class of photographic work where there is distinct evidence of artistic feeling and execution”.
