About the speakers

Matt Hart – Street Photography

Matt Hart is a Street Photographer based in Liverpool UK. He was born in Hammersmith London in 1960’s and has lived most of his life in Kent. Having relocated to the North West of England he finds a never ending source of material for his photography. His journey through photography has been over 40 years using mostly film, but most recently has preferred the freedom & flexibility of the digital medium striving to retain the integrity of the original image. Matt is the creator of the Fujiholics groups, and an Official Fujifilm X-Photographer. He also runs Street Photography workshops in Liverpool and other UK cities, with groups or one to one. He is also a Formatt Hitech Featured Artist.

Paul Sanders – Pictures on a page and The Mind’s Eye
Paul Sanders is a professional landscape photographer based in the south east of England. He started his career as news photographer working on regional newspapers before joining International News Service Reuters in 1998. After a four years covering major news and sport stories across Europe he joined The Times in London. With a clear vision of how good photography should be displayed in newspapers he was appointed as Picture Editor of The Times in 2004, guiding the visual transition from broadsheet to the more popular compact format. He left The Times in 2012 to pursue his passion for fine art landscape work. He now supplies his work to corporate clients, runs workshops and writes for photography magazines.

Steve Coleman – Masters of street

By day I’m a journalist for the BBC, specialising in news journalism, social documentary and social media. In all other available time I’m a street photographer. My background in photography started 20 years ago when I started a video and photography business working with brands such as Nintendo and Orange Phones and also worked to brand the Liverpool based company CREAM at the height of their popularity, with briefs that included devising creative moving and still images for these products. Whilst I take street photographs using a Fuji X Pro1 and a 35mm Yashica film camera, I’m also a student of street photography as an artistic medium and a platform for social documentary. I’m a borderline geek when it comes to studying the ‘Masters of Street Photography’ and believe that through study one can truly understand and achieve great quality street style work. I write my own blog and display my work, and regularly contribute to various other blogs which specialise in this medium. I take photographs for me, for pleasure and because I’m compelled to document the place I live and the places I visit. I’m passionate about the need for street photography to be fun but at the same time understood, and I like nothing more than discussing the medium at all levels.
