Talks & Presentations

I am available to speak at camera clubs, photography conferences, trade shows, exhibitions, and private events. I am a confident public speaker and have presented on a number of different topics from photographic techniques and editing to adventures in Scotland and South Africa. These are deeply researched and thought provoking educational presentations that go beyond the typical slideshow. 

If you are looking for an in-person keynote speaker, moderator, or panel discussion facilitator for a photography conference please reach out. I have experience presenting and hosting Nature Photography Collective’s International Speaker Series.

Example presentations:

Distilling the Landscape

This presentation is a reflection on photographer Murray Livingston's creative process, taking you on a virtual hike in the Highlands of Scotland to unpack how and why he composes photographs in the landscape through the lens of distillation. He engages with the hard question of "why do I make photographs" and delves into the wide ranging creative influences on his black and white photography, namely Japanese philosophy and the self-reflective act of walking in nature. 

Long Lens Landscapes

Photographer Murray Livingston presents how, when, and why to use telephoto lenses in order to capture landscape photographs that stand out in a world obsessed with wide angle lenses. He discusses how long lenses can help to isolate your subject, emphasise patterns and form, and the all important subject of perspective.

Upcoming Presentation Topics:

• How to Create a Zine: Bring Your Story to Life

• Rewilding the Soul: Adventures in Southern Africa

• Scotland’s Forgotten Caledonian Forest — On Photography Projects

• Desert Light (How Slowing Down can Transform your Photography)

• Backpacking & Landscape Photography
