North West
NW Region Committee
Afzal Ansary FRPS FBIPP FBPA Hon FMPA DGPh
REGIONAL ORGANISER
I have worked all my professional life in Medical Scientific & Forensic Imaging. I am the principal author of the book entitled "A Colour Atlas of AIDS in the Tropics" which won the Lancet Award in 1990. My images have also been used by the Discovery Channel, BBC and Channel 4 to mention a few and widely published.
I am now semi-retired and live in the North West of England. I now enjoy my life long passion for photography as a hobby and when the opportunity allows travel photography. I frequently visit Africa, more particularly Kenya which is a paradise for photography.
I joined the RPS North West Region in 2002 and immediately got on the committee. I have now taken over as the RPS North West Regional Organiser.

I achieved my LRPS in 1998 with a panel of digital prints, a CPAGB with a set of conventional prints and regularly enter slides in national and international salons. I still use a darkroom to print monochrome and to experiment with infra-red film and the old photographic processes. My particular interested in in hand coloured monochrome images.

TREASURER
Monochrome Photography has been my major hobby since the age of twelve, when my father gave me an old quarter plate camera (circa 1910), and I continued to use it until I could no longer obtain the roll film for it.
Education and a career in accountancy, however, took precedence and it was only in the early seventies that I had sufficient spare time to join my local photography club, Bramhall P.S. I was their Secretary for six years. In 1975 I became a member of the Royal Photographic Society, and since 1998 have been serving on the RPS North West Region Committee as Treasurer.
