Inspiration

I provide inspirational talks to camera clubs with an emphasis on learning & development, sharing plenty of tips along the way. The talks are designed to be interactive and engaging to allow for fun debate but also sharing my own journey's highs and lows. My talk topics are set out below but I can also tailor presentations to suit a camera club's programme. If you would be interested in more information on these please get in touch. 

Recent article from Leighton Buzzard Camera Club:

"This was an especially inspiring evening and Simon's presentation stimulated plenty of discussion. He is clearly very passionate about his photography and this enthralling talk was lavishly illustrated with his fine colour and black and white images. There was plenty to admire and enjoy and plenty of inspiration for aspiring photographers - whether their interest lies with intimate landscapes, wider landscapes, close-ups, abstracts or indeed elsewhere."

We will run through techniques on how to explore this mindful genre of landscape photography, looking at plenty of examples along the way.
