Can you give us a flavour of your upcoming talk?
One of my talks is called ‘The Stuff Other Photographers Won’t Tell You’. The kind of things that photographers will talk about with each other at the bar after a shoot but they won’t talk about publicly or to a large group of photographers. I talk about those things in a plain and straight-to-the-point way and it opens a lot of people’s eyes. I’ve been fortunate enough to do a similar talk and people would come up afterwards and say, ‘Why didn’t anybody tell me these things before?’ It’s because they’re hard to talk about, but they’re an important part of photography. And if you’re not an apprentice, you might never learn these things. So I try to be honest and tell people things that will move them forward in their photography without having to do it the hard way.
