Earlier this decade, Beacon Camera Club decided to launch the Annual Beacon Lecture as part of its efforts to expand the club’s activities. So far the likes of landscape photographers David Ward and Joe Cornish, and wildlife shooter Laurie Campbell have graced the stage at Worcester’s Swan Theatre to give the lecture, and this year the theatre and club are welcoming landscape aficionado Simon Butterworth. With a background in classical music, Simon returned to his native Scotland where he discovered his love of photography. He now divides his time between playing

the clarinet professionally and pursuing his photographic work. Recent photo trips have taken him to India, Australia, China and various European countries. He won the coveted title of UK Landscape Photographer of the Year in 2012, and has since added to his prize haul, with the International Photographic Awards and the Sony World Photographic Awards. Simon will give his talk at the Swan Theatre on Friday 17 June. Tickets cost £15 and are available from the theatre box office.
