Talks to Camera Clubs and Photographic Societies
I have given talks and presentations to Camera Clubs and Photography Societies all over Wales and the West of England and as far afield as Kent and Scotland over the last fifteen or so years and would be happy to visit your club. My PDI talks are now also available via Zoom or equivalent.
I currently have the following talks available:-
PDI - 'A Search for Focus' - It starts with a story about a box and ends with a message; An ever-evolving presentation illustrating my journey in photography and what inspires and motivates me. Among the subjects covered are motor sport, people, street, travel as well as my favourite subject, landscapes. The talk will include my very latest images, many old favourites and all points in between. Some sample photographs can be seen here.
PDI - 'South Iceland - Land of Fire and Ice'. This presentation illustrates the diversity of landscapes in the southern part of this hot, cold, beautiful, ugly and amazing country. It contains everything you need to know about how to take a journey down the south road from Keflavik to Hofn. It includes maps, many amazing locations, travel tips and more. Some sample photographs can be seen here.
PDI - 'Unseen Iceland' This talk covers the areas not included in the South Iceland presentation. We'll visit many other areas including the Snaefellsnes Peninsular, North Iceland and the area around Lake Myvatn. Some sample photographs can be seen here.
Either PDI or Print - 'Favourite Prints and Salon Successes' – Monochrome & Colour Prints both new and old. The talk includes landscapes, street, urban, motor sport, gigs, people and more. Some sample photographs can be seen here.
PDI - 'Motorsports Photography' - NEW for 2022. Motorsports Photography – 40 years as an amateur with a passion for photographing things that go fast. From hill climbs to Formula One. Some sample photographs can be seen here.
