Deliberately informal, The Social includes presentations by photography/arts professionals, offering tips on chosen themes and encourages participants to join the conversation and share their own insights.

We'll hear a short talk by each invited speaker and leave time to discuss the theme as a group. The theme for this session is ‘making (photo) books’ with Simon Goode and Jimmi Ho.
