Dr Paul Hendley LRPS CPAGB
About Paul Hendley
Paul is a member of Bracknell Camera Club.
He qualified as a judge on the SCPF circuit at the end of 2018 and is now a Level 2+ judge.
His profile on the Bracknell Appraisers page tells us
II am a retired scientist who spent 60+ years believing I did not have an artistic bone in my body. Having seriously adopted photography at retirement, I found it allows people like me to create something they (and others) can feel is beautiful. This has been eye-opening and very satisfying and, coming from a science background, it has been illuminating to learn the extent to which photographs – irrespective of their technical characteristic – can play directly on the emotions. An OU course helped me grasp the technical basics and I read extensively and attended many workshops etc. to extend my skills and knowledge culminating in my successful LRPS panel and CPAGB assessments. Even now, after 10 years of hard work on my photography, I am still learning every day and try to take opportunities that allow me to expand my photography across more genres.
We always enjoy welcoming Paul to Winchester.
II am thoroughly familiar with Lightroom and Photoshop and the key focus stacking softwares but continue to learn and adapt workflows as the tools improve. I am of the opinion that editing is critical to maximize telling the story the photographer visualized as they clicked the shutter.
In my younger years, I enjoyed being a US soccer referee for 10 or 12 years and so I am comfortable with making judgements that are not necessarily popular with all!
Now, five years plus into my appraising career, I have found that the discipline of examining so many images in detail has helped my own photography. I particularly enjoy appraising Panels and prints and am always on the lookout for images that show me the world in a way I have not seen before. Experience has shown me that I can offer a better service to clubs if it is possible to preview images and “No – I do not pixel peek”! The most important thing about Camera club evenings is that we do not lose sight of the fact that this is a hobby and WE ARE MEANT TO HAVE FUN!!
