We decided to challenge Knutsford Photographic Society members this week with the theme of 'Portraits'.
Society members delved deeply into their archives and produced some mesmerising images of young and old subjects.
Foreign holidays also helped to stimulate ideas, with several members submitting those distinctive photos that can be seen only in faraway places.
Further images can be found on the club website at knutsfordps.org.uk/
