Thank you for considering me as the guest speaker at one of your upcoming meetings.
The Presentation
The presentations are intended to be introductory overviews rather than in-depth trainings. All programs have been designed for 4Cs member clubs. I try to include content that will appeal to a wide range of skill levels.
Presentation Topics
AI in Digital Photography, Lightroom and Photoshop
Depth of Field & the Hyperfocal distance
What Makes a Image Great. Evaluating and Critiquing Photos
Understanding Exposure & how it relates to DOF & Motion
Cropping, Composition & Clean Up
Photoshop - An Intro to Layers, Masks & Compositing
Photoshop - An Intro to Selections
Photoshop - An Intro to Object Removal
Photoshop - Advanced Object Removal
Lightroom - Getting Started
Lightroom - Advanced Editing Workflow
Lightroom - Organizing and Keywording
Lightroom - Masking - Local Adjustment Tools
Lightroom - Publishing Services & Smart collections
Lightroom - Understanding Color and Tone
Lightroom - Organizing and Keywording
These are just a few examples. You may also custom design a presentation topic to fit the club’s needs. Just ask.
Logistics
I prefer a 1.5 - 2 hour block of time for the presentation to facilitate introductions, content and questions. Often times the evening goes longer than expected. Please let me know if there is a definitive cutoff time. I bring a laptop and all software needed for the presentation. I have a projector, but no screen, though I do prefer to use the clubs projector if possible. A large TV is also good.
Promoting My Business
I do ask as well, that I be able to promote my books, workshops and lessons.
Fees
The fee is based on a sliding scale from $0 to dinner before the meeting or whatever the club feels appropriate. For clubs that are required to pay speakers, your standard rate is fine. If extended travel is required, we will need to discuss additional fees.
