Predicting an event full of opportunity – it is Nostradamus’s birthday after all!
Hello dear reader
Nostradamus was born on 14/12/1503 and he predicted many events that have subsequently happened. Whether this event was in one of his quatrains is open to debate and interpretation!
What I can predict is that you’ll benefit from the host of opportunities that can benefit you and your business when coming along to Bristol’s longest running networking lunch.
Since the first event in 1993 Business Network SW has been operating successfully for over 23 years because we target senior decision-makers who see the benefit in establishing meaningful business relationships – not going for the ‘hard sell’.
Research has long supported the view that networking is a key factor in the success of fast growth companies. It allows the business person to build new business relationships, ‘knowledge share’ and generate business opportunities at the same time. Many business people prefer face-to-face networking opportunities because they prefer actually knowing and meeting who they intend to do business with. But don’t just take our word for it – come and chat to our members and let then tell you why they find our format so effective.

Seminar before lunch hosted by Into the Image
It Doesn’t Have to be in Focus: What makes a photograph work
Look at 100 photos, some will interest you and some won’t. The level of quality will probably vary greatly but there will be a handful that will stand out. Even if the subject doesn’t interest your eye will be drawn to them. They will be head and shoulders above the rest but it is not always easy to explain why.
As is seen in award-winning photos in the pages of magazines and websites, a photo is able to describe and to move a person to act in ways that words themselves may not
- one that causes some sort of emotional response in those looking at it
- put the viewer in a particular moment in time
- tell a story
- element of intrigue
- keep your audience captivated
- interesting and engaging subject matter
- to communicate with the viewer
In this seminar Ken will share some of his knowledge on how to become a good/better photographer. With a little hard work and an understanding of simple principles you can can tap into the importance of photography and the positive impact it can have on your business and life.
Ken’s business’s motto is ‘Set Your Photography Free’ which perfectly sums up his philosophy. Taking great images is easy if you don’t let too much information and so called ‘rules’ clutter the process.
