Presentations & Speaking Engagements
I offer presentations designed to inspire, educate, and challenge photographers to see the world in new ways. My talks blend compelling imagery, personal stories from the field, and practical insights that attendees can put into practice right away.
Whether your group is looking to deepen their understanding of black and white photography, explore the emotional side of landscape work, or simply spark creative energy, my presentations are tailored to connect with photographers at all levels.
I currently offer two ready-to-go programs and am available for in-person or virtual sessions.
More Than a Pretty Picture: Building Emotion into Landscape
Building Emotion Into Landscape Photography with Black and White
In this presentation, I share how to move beyond “pretty” images to create monochrome photographs that tell a story and evoke emotion. We’ll explore how light, shadow, and contrast can shape the mood of an image, and how a personal connection to the landscape can transform the way you see and compose. Attendees will gain insight into creating black and white work that feels authentic, intentional, and deeply resonant.

The Art and Vision of Black and White Photography
Exploring the Why, When and How
In this session, I explore why and when to choose black and white, how to see the world in monochrome, and how to create images with depth, mood, and emotional impact. We’ll look at the artistic and technical considerations that go into crafting powerful black and white work, from tonal range and composition to subtle post-processing techniques.
Attendees will walk away with a stronger understanding of how to use black and white as a deliberate creative choice, rather than just a way to “rescue” a color image.
