After delivering more than 1,200 talks all over the world, I continue my “Zoom around the globe” tour in 2025 & beyond.
And lots more for the Royal Photographic Society too, with more than 130 talks & workshops already delivered for them, and new series planned with Camversation & MyPhotoClub for 2025/26.
I have several brand new talks (and more coming) for the coming season as well as all the old favourites, and some new workshop series as well:
100 ways AI can help photographers
“Fine Art Architecture”
“Denoise Shootout!”
“CANVA for photographers”
“How to shoot better photos & easily fix the ones that didn't work!”
“Photography in an AI world”
“Denoise Shootout!”
“CANVA for photographers”
“Lightroom - all the new stuff”
“Starting photography using Lightroom Classic” - new series!
“Lightroom step by step - new series!”
“Making the most of the TOPAZ suite”
“Creating panels”
“Processing nature shots with Lightroom & Topaz”
“I didn’t know Lightroom could do that!”
“Processing a night shoot”
“Who needs Adobe - process for free!”
“Publishing a photo book”
“5 ways to create a portfolio website - for free!”
So if you’re looking for a fun, entertaining and informative session, why not give one of these a spin!
Each of my sessions is only £100 (or equiv in local currency) with an edited video of the session available a day or two afterwards for an additional £25 - this can be great for re-watching the session and not having to take notes - especially for the Lightroom sessions!
