Improve Your Own Images with Jeremy Fraser-Mitchell

Jeremy Fraser-Mitchell is taking over the Jersey Farm Community Centre on Tuesday 24 November, from 20:00 to 22:00, for a live editing session. It's part of the St Albans Camera Club's Print League, the third and final round of their season, and it follows a lecture by Martin Patten.

The format is pretty straightforward: Fraser-Mitchell works with photographs that members have submitted in advance, editing them live in Lightroom and Photoshop. As he goes, the room suggests changes and he demonstrates the results on screen, so you see exactly how a few tweaks can shift an image. It's a bit like a live workshop rather than a lecture — you get to see the process in real time instead of just the finished product.

Fraser-Mitchell leads the club's External Competitions Team, supported by Steven Else and Geoff Clinton. The venue itself is Sandridge Parish Council's community hall in Jersey Farm, which hosts the club's wider programme of competitions, workshops and talks, judged by photographers including Alison Jenkins, Michael Lurie and Jonathan Vaines.

If you're not a member, you can still get involved. Visitors can arrange a trial club evening for £5 cash in advance, and there's no annual membership required to come along. Just keep in mind that while the evening is open, competition entries are reserved for members. The session runs from 20:00 to 22:00 at Jersey Farm Community Centre, St Brelades Place, off Sandringham Crescent, AL4 9RG.
