As an 8 year old Panikos says he can remember studying old photos, He imagined what life was like in those days. he loved glimpsing into the past – looking at a world from decades ago, and comparing it to what things are like now. Photographs were his windows into yesteryear. That is how his passion for photography began.
Today Panikos has won dozens of National Awards with his imagery, including the prestigious MPA Master Photographer of the Year in 2017/18. He has a Fellowship with the Master Photographers Association, a Master Craftsman with the Guild of Photographers and a Fellow with the SWPP and the BIPP. His work speaks for itself, in that you will always see “clean” images with great connection, expressions and a relaxed feel to the photos he creates. A lot of his time is now spent teaching his lighting styles to professional and amateur photographers alike, as well as judging many Prints Competitions and Panels. Panikos has his own home studio where he does most of his work using both natural and studio light – or a combination of the two. He also loves working on location, whether it’s in the great outdoors or in the city. Being on the outskirts of London he is within touching distance of the City Centre and the beautiful countryside of Hertfordshire. Panikos has vast experience in photographing everything from maternity, newborns, babies and families, as well as pets of all types, fashion, fine art and wildlife.
Tonight we look forward to a Masterclass as Panikos discusses his workflow from capturing the images all the way through post production to the final images for viewing by the client.

About NDPS Special Presentations
Every month at Norwich and District Photographic Society there is the opportunity to hear inspirational photographic talks by photographers who are recognised to be at the top of their game and renowned specialists in their field of photography. The quality and range of subjects included in these Special Presentations are we believe unequalled both here in Norfolk and much further afield. Further, arguably alone they more than justify the cost of becoming a member of the Society.
The programme for the 2021-2022 Season is well advanced and has been designed to offer a broad range of excellent speakers who will cover, as in past seasons, a far reaching range of photographic genre. Whilst there remains some uncertainty regarding how quickly we shall return to the new normality after covid we will continue to take a flexible approach and only announce the final details about a month before each presentation.
Members of the Society are normally able to attend Special Presentations free of charge. However, NON-MEMBERS wanting to attend a Special Presentation can usually purchase a guest ticket prior to the event. Guest tickets (subject to availability) must be purchased in advance and are only available from our ticketing partner Eventbrite.co.uk.
PLEASE NOTE TONIGHT’S PRESENTATION IS EXCLUSIVELY FOR NDPS MEMBERS AND GUEST TICKETS WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE
ONLINE PRESENTATIONS
During the coronavirus pandemic the Society put together a revised programme of Special Presentations that were presented online. These online events proved to be very successful, with good attendance and we thank all our speakers and members who have adapted to this medium. Post-covid we envisage that we shall continue to make full use of the available technologies to deliver our Special Presentations. In the past year online presenttions has widened our reach and we have hosted speakers from the furthest points in the UK, throughout Europe and much wider afield from Australia and the United States.
We don’t intend to allow geography to be a reason for not heaing from the very best photographers worldwide in future seasons. Equally, we shall evolve to ensure this is achieved in the most effective way for our members
