Former Kodak scientist, Derek Brich who helped develop both film and photography papers has taken the reigns for a three year role within the prestigious Society.
Birch, who aims to boost the Societies educational role by developing 'online learning', said 'The Society has much to offer all photographers, as well as supporting all aspects of imaging more widely.'
'During my term as president I would like to build on the
work of my predecessors and further enhance the Society's educational role
through online learning and to expand the membership, which will allow us to more
fully realise our founding aim of promoting photography.'
Birch worked for Kodak for 33 years retiring in 2006. Since then he has been an active member of the RPS's Imaging Science Group.
