humberMUD: Focus on the photographic business

THE LATEST REGULAR MONTHLY gathering of networking and knowledge-sharing organisation humberMUD will be focused on photography. Four speakers will each share their perspective on this growing aspect of the economically vibrant media industry.

Speakers on the night, which is a free event and takes place this Thursday (November 18), include Jacobs Digital Photography and Video, who will be showcasing the latest developments in camera technology.

Neil Holmes will also speak. Neil has been a photographer for thirty years, and has spent the last twelve years as a freelance embracing the transition to digital photography. Neil, who showcases his work online, brings some contemporary insight with a talk entitled 'the photographer, blogging & social media'. Neil has been quite a friend to the Hedon Blog over the last 18 months with some of his images being featured on that website.

In addition, photographers and long-term collaborators Scott Wigglesworth and Chris Oaten will speak about their many and varied creative and artistic projects in the city and beyond.

The new Clear As MUD forum during the evening will provide members with an update on creative and business developments in the Humber Street/Fruit Market area.

To kick-start networking, everyone attending is invited to bring promotional material with them, including pop-up banners, posters and flyers.

humberMUD chair Mal Williamson said: “We've now settled into our home at Fruit and have enjoyed increasing attendance month-on-month. What we now want to encourage is more networking and to be seen as the place where business can be done.”

The evening starts at 6pm with free food and nibbles plus drinks available from the bar. Presentations take place at 7-9pm and are followed by networking and music from DJ The Reverend.
