CREATIVE RAILWAY PHOTOGRAPHY

Established in 1971, The Circle set out to promote a more imaginative and creative style of railway photography.


More than fifty years on, its aim remains unchanged; to portray the contemporary railway environment

 through an expanded pictorial or avant-garde style.
