Les is back for his third visit, bringing fresh architectural shots — soft tones, subtle colours, and a style that speaks volumes.
About this Event

We’re excited to welcome back Les Forrester ARPS, BA (Hons) for his third visit to our club. Les is a highly acclaimed UK-based photographer, celebrated for his fine art approach to architecture, landscapes, and minimalism. His work is recognised worldwide, with accolades including the British Photography Award (2022, Architecture) and the Minimalist Photography Award (2024, Architecture).


What sets Les apart is his soft, ethereal style — often reported as delicate in tone and colour, with compositions that transform structures into works of art. As one review put it, Les isn’t simply an architectural photographer, but “a photographer who uses buildings for their art.”


During this special evening, Les will:

✨ Share new architectural material from his latest projects

✨ Walk us through his workflow and editing process (from ND filters and long exposures to creative post-production in Lightroom, Silver Efex Pro, and Photoshop)

✨ Present his work across themed sections — from Fine Art Minimal Long Exposure to Architecture, Scapes, and Venice

✨ Offer insights into his creative mindset — how to see differently, reimagine a shot, and let simplicity guide artistry


Each visit from Les has brought fresh inspiration, and this third one promises to be no different. Whether you’re an architectural enthusiast, a fine art photographer, or simply someone who loves seeing the world in new ways, this event is not to be missed.
