Horsham Photographic Society has secured a renowned guest speaker for its next meeting.

Harry Borden is one of the UK’s finest portrait photographers and his work has been published widely.

His earliest commissions were for the New Musical Express, and then The Observer. He won prizes at the World Press Photo awards (1997 and 1999) and was a judge in the contest in 2010 and 2011.

In June 2005 he was awarded a solo exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery in London.

‘Harry Borden: On Business’ brought together 30 portraits of leading business leaders and The NPG now has more than 100 examples of Harry’s work in its permanent collection.

At the age of 40, having spent half his life photographing famous people, Harry decided that he wanted to use his work to show something that would show the test of time.

“You have to decide whether you’re just trying to do a project because you think you ought to,” he said.
