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 .
