Camera club talks
I'm available to give inspirational talks on landscape photography at camera clubs in East Anglia or anywhere in the world, either in person or online. I have given over 200 talks and currently have four presentations to choose from. If you would like to book me to speak at your camera club, please use the enquiries button or call me on 07734 068605.
A LEARNING CURVE
Over the last few years I have become increasingly absorbed by landscape photography. This presentation aims to pass along some of the things I have learnt during that time, illustrated by plenty of images.
A YEAR ON THE COAST
During 2015 I spent the year photographing the East Anglian coast, one of my first commissions for the National Trust and a dream job. This presentation takes a look at what is involved in such a project.
INTERESTING STUFF
A quest to find interesting subjects to photograph is one of the things that keeps me motivated, the question is what makes an interesting photograph, the subject or the photographer?
THE ESSEX PROJECT
This presentation takes a look at how the vague idea of a project to photograph the quieter parts of the Essex coast snowballed into the subject of two books and an FRPS panel.
TESTIMONIALS

“I have been a member of the club for 3 years and that was one of the best presentations we had.”

“Thank you very much for your splendid talk last evening. I’ve always enjoyed your talks but this, I felt, was exceptional, and your images are really wonderful.
