Locally born photographer David Wood, first used his father’s
box camera when on holiday in Cornwall aged 11. Several years
later he began making contact prints from black and white films
from the very same camera. At 21, after National Service, he was
given a 35mm camera which enabled him to produce slides from colour
transparency film. During this time David joined Beckenham Photographic
Society and began making monochrome enlargements for club competitions,
he then went on to join the Royal Photographic Society in 1972
and four years later gained an Associate ship.
Within the Society he joined the committee of the Colour Group
and has served in various offices including seven years as Chairman.
David has spent a great deal of time lecturing and acting as photographic
judge as well as organising photographic conferences. In 1998
a panel of fifteen colour prints gained him a Distinction of the
Photographic Alliance of Great Britain.
Now retired David is free to follow his hobby and take on photographic
projects from time to time. He has had many competition successes
and in 2005, with the Digital camera now taken over from film,
he held a one man show in Bromley with 42 colour prints. This
current exhibition is a collective tribute to his travels and
confirms that David’s skill with the camera’s lens
more than equals the Artist’s with brush and palette.
