Jonathan Vaines will present “ME, Myself & Eye”

This talk is a follow up of a previous zoom session given to BPS by Jonathan. This time, Jonathan will explore the world using in-camera techniques, such as multiple exposure, for creative imagery. During this session, Jonathan will engage in post-processing enhancements to his captures. He will look at pictures that are single images & venture into some elaborate ways to make images from a number of multiple exposures. Jonathan is a specialist in the art of pastel images but also uses bold color to express his vision of the world. BPS will see a wide variety of visual art work in this enlightening talk. Welcome back Jonathan.


Jonathan Vaines is a very well-known photographer & educator from the UK. He took his first photograph in 2012, joined his local club to work out what to do & soon moved on. He has since had many roles in his short photographic life. Jonathan has been the Regional Organizer for the Royal Photographic Society for five years & is currently the Judges’ Secretary for the East Anglian Federation (EAF) of Photographic Societies in Great Britain. In 2024, he was invited to become a member of The London Salon of Photography. He is a tutor for PhotoClub 247, the Royal Photographic Society & other organizations in addition to 1:1 teaching & mentoring. He is an A panel judge, judging & lecturing at over 100 clubs throughout the UK each year. He is sponsored lecturer for Permajet, the leading paper supplier in the UK, as well as an affiliate of DxO Labs, the photography software developer, & Wex Photo Video for everything camera along with Qimage software for print applications. Jonathan is always busy somewhere in the world of photography.


Jonathan's image making started out as photographing anything, but now he uses the camera to create what he sees as wall art. Multiple exposures along with some sort of camera distortion appears in almost all his work. He polishes the result in Adobe Photoshop. Jonathan feels that an image does not exist until it’s printed so he is helping to keep the ink & paper industry alive. He finds enjoyment from engaging with every image. He works with thoughts, concepts & projects. It’s not about capturing the moment for Jonathan, it’s about visualization & being able to deliver that in print.
