Positive response to AP's Festival of Outdoor Photography

From 30 May to 1 June, Amateur Photographer hosted its first ever Festival of Outdoor Photography, dedicated to the ever-popular genres of landscape, wildlife, street and travel.

The three-day event, held in the august surroundings of the Royal Geographical Society in South Kensington's museum district, attracted a wide variety of photographers keen to hear talks and attend workshops from some of the biggest names in the business: Charlie Waite, Tim Flach, Quintin Lake, Nick Turpin, Tesni Ward, Emily Endean and Nori Jemil just to name a few.

We've now got feedback from the large number of visitors, and it's very gratifying to see that the festival met, and indeed went beyond, people's expectations. As one would expect, the 'big name' speakers didn't disappoint. 'I went because I know Charlie Waite from years ago and I wanted to catch up... the whole event was stimulating and informative,' said one respondent. 'I got much more out of it than I expected.'
