Bob Faris FRPS, MPAGB, AFIAP (1992-2001)
Bob sadly passed in 2021. He’d been a member of Bristol PS since the early 1970s and through that time had held all the key roles including president of the society from 1996-2001. He was amongst that rare breed of photographer having achieved two Fellowships from the Royal Photographic Society, in the Applied and Pictorial sections. He was best known for his creative (in-camera – pre-Photoshop) surreal images. He was ever present at meetings and had served as an inspiration to countless generations of members and others beyond the club.
How much does it cost?
Tickets cost £10 and can be purchased through the Bristol Photographic Society.
