CAMERA CLUB TALKS

Online & Face to Face Presentations

TALKS & ONLINE PRESENTATIONS:

Out of the ashes of the global pandemic came online presentations. Camera club talks and presentations can be delivered across the internet and throughout 2020/1 more and more camera clubs have been using remote meeting services such as Zoom in order for presenters to deliver talks – it also avoids the need for travel expenses.

After a packed 2020 & 2021 delivering more than 200 talks all over the world – I now have talks booked well into 2023 using this system.

See below for how these work – I have priced these sessions/talks the same based on the club/group size, with prices at either £60 or £90.

HOW DOES THIS WORK?

Usually the clubs provide the Zoom or Go2Meeting links, at the mutually agreed time we all log on and the lecture is delivered. Zoom allows meetings of up to 100 people and you can participate in your lounge on your PC, tablet or smart phone. If you add in a microphone you can also ask questions of the speaker and converse with other members too.

presentation

Online, you will see my PowerPoint presentation on your screens and hear my voice. You can also see my webcam if you choose – but the presentation is visual.

run time

Sessions usually last around 2 hours because time is also made at the end for a Q&A session, with a 10-minute in the middle. A part that usually goes well online.

Software

I’m more than happy to fit in with whichever software fits your needs, but Zoom & Go2Meeting I have used glitch-free. I have a pro zoom licence and can host.

Frequently asked

Questions?

Yes - if I’m not booked for the evening my talks are all ready to go at a moment’s notice. If a speaker lets you down give me a call via Whats App +447564668485 or try me on email -info@jameskerwin.uk

HAVE I! I delivered about a 15 talks in England in 2019, but since March 2020 and the start of Zoom I’ve delivered over 300 talk sessions to clubs in the UK, Ireland, USA, South Africa and even New Zealand!

No! I have a full licence for Zoom, and it’s my preferred platform but I’m happy to use any other delivery platform depending on your needs - I’ve delivered talks on Go2Meeting and Google, so whatever works.

Now taking bookings into 2024

AVAILABLE TALKS:

Abandoned Architecture

My original talk - highlighting my journey and ten years behind a camera. Designed to inspire the listener through my journey with a camera as well as my love for travel & hidden architecture.

Architectural Gems of Georgia

A follow on from my first talk, where we take a deeper dive into the Architectural gems of the Republic of Georgia. A place I was based and lived in for nearly three years.

Sands of Time

Throughout 2019, I visited three ghost towns that were left abandoned in the desert, Kolmanskop, Elizabeth Bay, Al Madam - in this talk we look at the challenges I faced along the path to capturing beautiful shots. This is the presentation follow up to my abandoned architecture talk.

Lebanon; A Paradise Lost

This is a talk based all on my journey to Lebanon and how the series inspired me eventually to return to photograph an entire photography book. We look at the inspiration, the lost heritage, and more.

Some club reviews

what people have said...

“It was different from anything we have heard... Would have loved to have seen him in person, as he had such a great and enthusiastic personality”

“A fascinating and entertaining two hours with a good mix of background stories and fantastic images with the perfect level of technical.”

"James Kerwin’s talk is terrific. It gives me much inspirations. Wish I can join more of these talks from HK(time here is 7 hours ahead of UK)".

A huge thank you from the group, for what was the most inspirational talk we’ve had in the 15 years I’ve been involved with this group!

We send our enormous thanks to you for your presentation on Tuesday evening. Your stories were fascinating and your images exceptional.

FACE TO FACE MEETINGS:

Since 2017, I have undertaken talks at the Norwich University of Arts, and more than thirty camera clubs, (often being asked to return). I have also delivered kit demonstrations and talks for brands at WEX Photographic and The Photography Show (UK), during this time. My rates start at £150 for these face to face presentations.
