I continue to offer talks via Zoom in 2024.
My recent range of Zoom presentations for photographic clubs has included:
Photo Art - A Zoom talk that shows the inspiration behind some of my creative photographic artwork, with details of how it is produced. Much of this photographic art is suitable for exhibition or display, and is quite simple to create. This talk is being continuously updated as new work is produced. At present this is my main presentation.
Use of Layers in Photoshop - (An introduction to the use of layers in producing creative images. This presentation is accompanied by a series of "recipes"). This talk was revised in 2021.
Still Life Backgrounds - Construction Methods - (A PowerPoint presentation for photo clubs first given via Zoom in July 2020). This talk is a little bit shorter than my Photo Art talk, and was originally designed as a follow-on to that.
NOTE: I do not charge a fee for speaking.
I invite clubs to consider making a charitable donation to the MS Society. This is entirely at your discretion. One easy way of donating however is via my JustGiving page at:-
https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/photoartpresentation
Alternatively the MS Society may be reached by writing to them at MS Society, 372 Edgware Road, London. NW2 6ND or via their own web site.
