Interested in finding out more about this talk - well here's an overview to outline the aims and the content it offers. Feedback on this talk has been amazing from clubs across the UK.

This post covers - Philosophy of Your Photography (Part 1) Camera Club Talk Overview which will give those of you looking to book this talk a good insight as to what to expect.
This is not a standard Camera Club talk in that it actively encourages: - opinions, - engagement, - discussion and based on my experience of delivering this talk, club members have a lot of opinions they are keen to discuss.
Duration can be from 90min to 2 hours all depending on the group size and the length of your meetings.
So whats the key Aim: This was put together with the aim of getting photographers to think more about the what, the why and the how they go about their photography. Trying to get people to be more considered more mindful in their approach with the underlying principle being:
Develop your style
Take the images you like
Be the photographer you want to be
The evening is broken down into the following sections:
Introduction
Setting the aims
How do we see the world relative to how a photograph depicts a scene
What make a great image
Do Titles matter
Evaluation of what kind of photographer you are?
Photography Judges
Opportunity to do some judging!
How do images aim to influence the viewer
Photography versus Art
What makes a photographer
How do we use our time
Comparison of novices and experienced photographers
A mnemonic to aid people in their photography
Street photography issues
Each section is evaluated using my experiences and images as a platform for discussion. The talk will result in a lively and engaging evening and for those clubs that have already had this talk take a look at Philosophy of Your Photography (Part 2) which takes things on a whole step further.



After the talk you will be supplied with a set of hand out slides to distribute to your members, so they have a reference point.
If you are looking for something different in your camera club program then this could be the answer. A session of discussion and insight that has generated massive interest and engagement every time its delivered.
