Camera club talks and presentations
I enjoy delivering talks and presentations for camera club and photographic societies across the UK. As a club member myself since 2003, I understand the needs of members and the constraints that many clubs work with.
Can you talk about…?
Every club is different, and has their own requirements. Often I get asked; “can you talk about…” and my usual answer is yes. Below are some examples of talks I have delivered for other clubs.
I have found that live shoots work really well with camera clubs. Club members value this, as they get to see “straight from the camera” reality. I work with my camera hooked up to a laptop, so every shot is on screen as I shoot.
Examples of some presentation topics for camera clubs
- Lighting with off-camera flash (Speedlites)
- Lighting with studio flash
- Making the most of just one light
- Table-top and product photography
- The basics of photography; ideal for new members or to attract new members
- Movement: a presentation about capturing motion in your photos. Designed for new and intermediate photographers
- Action sports photography; motorsport, kick boxing and more
- Using simple compact cameras to help you learn to see and make better pictures
- Organising, managing and processing pictures with Lightroom
- Colour management, how to get prints and projected images that meet your expectations
I love questions, and encourage everyone to ask if there’s something they need clarification on, while I deliver my presentation.
If you want to have a half-day or full-day workshop activity for your club members let’s talk, as I can help with this too. If you have a date in mind, check my events calendar to see if I’m free.
Equipped for large and small camera club presentations
- Canon XEED projector, laptop and all the necessary cables.
- I don’t bring a projector screen with me, so I need to use yours. (Or a large, preferably white, wall)
- For most camera club talks I don’t need a microphone and amplifier, but I am happy to use one if you have it.
- I’m practiced at presenting to small small and large groups. I’m equally comfortable with 1-2-1 sessions through to groups of over 600 people.
Short notice or long term bookings
I am happy to stand in at short notice or take bookings a long way in to the future. I know that some clubs like to have their programme locked down months, if not years ahead.
Costs?
I use Google Maps to calculate the distance from me in Oxfordshire to you and charge travel costs based on this distance. I also charge for presentations, though I know that your budgets are often limited so the charges are reasonable .
