Ray Spence FRPS

Ray Spence originally trained as a Microbiologist having gained his degree at University College, London. His career as a commercial / fine art photographer and an educator has run in tandem and he is now a full time lecturer in photography and digital imaging at Warwickshire College, School of Art.

He is a Fellow of The Royal Photographic Society and sits on the distinctions panel for Visual Art and is the Chairman of the Printing Panel.

For thirty years, Ray has specialised in Fine Art Monochrome printing and alternative printing processes. He now works exclusively in digital imaging and produces fine art digital prints using the latest archival inks and papers.

His work reflects his interest in natural forms especially the body, and the minutiae of life.

Ray’s work is held in many private collections in the UK and the USA and the Permanent Collection of The Royal Photographic Society at The National Media Museum, Bradford.
