BEHIND THE LENS

​

My name is Michael Vernon.

I live in a South Leicestershire village.

 

Although I am a generalist, I do enjoy photographing the “odd and different” as well as people, particularly street photography with a long lens.  Having aquired new lighting equipment I am keen to do more studio portraiture.  I have been taking photographs for 47 years altogether, and made the difficult change to digital in 2010.  I find that digital techniques have broadened the possibilities exponentially.

 

Retirement from the corporate world has given me the time to work towards the attainment of a BA honours degree in Photography with the Open College of the Arts and I am enjoying the journey.

 

For 2016 /17 /18  I am serving as President of the Lutterworth Photographic Society
