Leo Palmer FRPS FPSA

Thinking back I was probably always a frustrated artist who had never learned to paint. Although from an early age I had  been interested in photography nothing much happened until, in 1976, I moved to Hexham & joined Hexham & District Photographic Society.

I set up a darkroom & started to study photography. Monochrome & colour printing became a passion & on many occasions the early hours saw me still slaving over my latest "masterpiece".

Travel & photography, in my opinion, go hand in glove so in the late 1970's I started working on a project to capture the land, people & culture of Greece. My efforts were rewarded in 1985 with a Fellowship of the Royal Photographic Society.

The same year I started entering photographic International Exhibitions. This in turn motivates a photographer to get out & capture images with a difference.

In 1987 I joined the Photographic Society of America ; in September 2006 I was awarded a Fellowship of the Society.

My interest in & passion for photography has, if anything, increased over the years & I am now taking & printing more pictures than ever.

I hope you enjoy looking at my website.
