In the fourth of a series of articles featuring images by the Woodford and Wanstead Photographic Society, Anuraj Theivendram introduces Kevin Wright, the group’s new chair
Photography is about connection: between subject, photographer and community. The Woodford and Wanstead Photographic Society (WWPS), founded in 1893, has always thrived on fresh perspectives and creative energy. Today, that spirit continues under the leadership of our new chairperson, Kevin Wright, whose journey from vice-chairperson to chair reflects both dedication and vision.
Kevin is widely admired for his dynamic sports photography, a genre that demands anticipation and precision. Combined with the art of storytelling, his images capture not just the action but also the emotion and determination of athletes. For Kevin, sports photography is more than documenting competition; it’s about celebrating human spirit and the shared passion that unites people of all ages, identities and backgrounds.
In his new role, he brings this same energy to WWPS. He champions inclusivity and encourages members, new and experienced, to explore new genres and expand their photography skills. Under his guidance, the society will continue to offer workshops, mentoring and lively competitions that welcome photographers of all skill levels. His leadership ensures WWPS remains a place where creativity flourishes, friendships grow and every member feels empowered to share their unique perspective.
Kevin’s sports photographs, featured here, embody the vibrancy of our club. They remind us that photography is not just about technique but about connection between subject and photographer and between members who inspire one another.
With Kevin at the helm, WWPS looks forward to an exciting future. Whether you are picking up a camera for the first time or seeking to refine your craft, we invite you to join us. Together, let’s capture life in motion and celebrate the diversity that makes our society strong.
