About The Speaker...

A passionate photographer from the age of seven when my father presented me with a nifty Kodak Instamatic camera, my work has appeared in national magazines, newspapers and galleries and won me several competitions including The Telegraph’s, The Big Picture. Commercially, I’ve provided photography for local businesses, from high end fashion to a gourmet restaurant.

In 2022 I became an Associate of The Royal Photographic Society for my project on London after dark and subsequently featured in a 5-page article in the prestigious RPS Journal.

But rather than me blabbering on here, why not pop over to my website at www.andmakeitsnappyuk.co.uk where, over a cup of tea and a chocolate hobnob, you can see my work for yourself.

About Their Talks...

As a former travel writer, radio traffic reporter and voice over artist I am no stranger to yakking so know the value of using humour to get a subject across.

Lasting around 45 minutes with plenty of time for some lively Q&As, my talk on street photography is completely free of any technical jargon so you won’t need a degree in advanced astrophysics to follow it. Instead, I concentrate on how to develop an eye for a photograph, how to compose a picture and how not to get arrested taking them 🤣.

Profusely illustrated, you’ll learn the backstory to each photograph you see so you can understand my thought processes and how they gradually evolved. More crucially I’ll also show you some of my heroic failures so you can gain an insight into the trials and tribulations of taking candid shots on the streets.

Shooting the Streets

With everyone carrying a camera in their pocket, street photography has never been more popular. But how do you elevate a mere snap into an image worthy of hanging in a gallery?

In this technical-free, humorous talk, I walk you through some of my acclaimed photographs, revealing how each was achieved while offering a wealth of hints, tips and advice on how you too can create a captivating narrative.

Entertaining and inspiring, I touch on what I look for when out on the streets, the laws and ethics of street photography and how I overcame my fear of taking candid shots of strangers.

With a look at the many hidden benefits of street photography — from mindfulness and human interaction to expanding your perspective on the world — you will see the art of photography in a whole new light.
