After delivering more than 1,200 talks all over the world, I continue my “Zoom around the globe” tour in 2026 & 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 2026.
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 as more books in the pipeline:
100 ways AI can help photographers
“Fine Art Architecture”
“CANVA for photographers”
“How to shoot better photos & easily fix the ones that didn't work!”
“Photography in an AI world”
“Denoise Shootout!”
“Lightroom - all the new stuff”
“Starting photography using Lightroom Classic” - series!
“Lightroom step by step - 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!
