Presentation Topics
I am available for booking as a presenter at conferences, artist talks, camera clubs, and other photography events. Below is my current list of prepared presentation topics. They are each approximately 50-75 minutes in length. If there’s a topic you don’t see listed, I’m happy to explore new ideas and welcome suggestions. I’m always open to new topics and would love to hear what you’d like me to teach or speak about, even if it’s not on this list. If you would like to invite me to speak, please get in touch by sending an inquiry.
My prices are TBD depending on your request.
