We look forward to seeing you all for our next meeting on Sat 11th April 2026.
ABOUT US
Somerset Monochrome Group of photographers is open to anyone living or working in the Southwest with an interest in the art and craft of monochrome photography.
The group meetings held Nr Ilminster in Somerset include specialist live lectures featuring regional or national monochrome work not usually available locally. We typically hold meetings six times a year, bi-monthly on a Saturday morning.
OUR NEXT MEETING
Saturday 11th April 2026 - We advise a change to our next speaker
Unfortunately, our planned live print talk by Margaret Salisbury has had to be cancelled. We are however very grateful that Mark Burley has agreed to revisit us with more of his monochrome prints. You may recall Mark only got part way through his vast array of work when he last visited, so we look forward to another very interesting meeting with images concentrating on Dartmoor and a few extras!
Mark's website is at Mark Burley Photography - Mark Burley - Photography Portfolio , and below is a short extract on how the landscape inspires his images.
Mark is based in Dartmoor, Devon. The local landscape is inspiring in both physicality and folklore, enthusing countless artists and songwriters for centuries. This is what I see when I wake up and what I think about on a daily basis.
The call of a buzzard and sound of a river - add the weather and commonplace stuff; this is what I record in my mind and is the essence of my images.
Sometimes it takes but a second, occasionally minutes or even hours. Being somewhere that inspires is what drives me and my imagery.
