Graduating as a visual communication student from the University of Brighton in 1979, Zelda took up freelancing as a photojournalist. In 1981 she took over the Print Room at the Photographers' Gallery which she "turned around" and made her own for eight years. In 1989 she opened The Zelda Cheatle Gallery which continues to exhibit, sell prints, and promote both 19th century and contemporary photographers. Zelda Cheatle Press publishes contemporary photographers' monographs. Zelda lectures at the Royal College of Art and is a trustee of the Kobal Foundation. She has regularly appeared on television, including The Late Show and Arena. An 8 part series The Photography Show was screened by BBC2 in 1995.

Mike has developed a printing process (Permaprint tm), for making archival prints direct from electronic thus completing the last task in getting electronic imagery accepted as fine prints.

Zelda has said that "good photography is anything that moves, motivates or makes me think!". This extended seminar will cover approaches to getting work seen by the public, curators and buyers, as well as tracing the development of the photograph as 'art object' Mike will talk on virtually all the processes that are acceptable as fine prints and thus suitable for the gallery or collector. An informal weekend for all looking for insights into what makes photography tick, and getting their work up on the wall.
