About the event

Step into the story of photography

If you love photography and want to dive deeper into what makes great images unforgettable, this session is for you. We will also dip into fascinating back-stories.

Join me on an exploration of photography's history. The talk packs stunning imagery, fascinating stories, together with practical insights that you can use.

We’ll delve into iconic photographs by the masters of the past, uncover the technical innovations that shaped their work, and explore the fascinating contexts of the images. Together, we’ll analyse the power of these photographs and what we can learn from them.

Whether you're looking for creative inspiration, aiming to deepen your technical knowledge, or simply want to enjoy a visually rich journey through photographic milestones, this session has something for you. 

You’ll come away with practical ideas to improve your own photography, a fresh flashes of inspiration, and a deeper appreciation for the art we love to love.
 

Open to photographers of all levels

Expect a relaxed, interactive talk with plenty of opportunities for questions and discussion. Previous sessions have sparked wide-ranging conversations taking us from exposure times to political context, from gear evolution to artistic expression.

Much of the material is drawn from my book Photography: The Definitive Visual History, which has been adopted by photography courses worldwide and has won multiple awards.

Come for the images. Stay for the insights. Leave inspired.
