Talk 1 – Chasing Light: The Art and Patience of Landscape Photography

From sweeping vistas to quiet moments of magic, landscape photography is about more than simply recording what’s in front of you. It’s about patience, persistence, and developing an eye for light and composition.
In this talk, Jack shares his journey through his local landscapes and beyond, offering insights into scouting locations, reading the weather, and finding unique perspectives. Expect a mix of practical tips, behind-the-scenes stories, and inspiring imagery that celebrates the joy of being outdoors with a camera.
Session 2: 12:00 PM – 1:15 PM
Talk 2 – Power of Print: The True Purpose of Photography
Synopsis:
A photograph isn’t finished until it’s shared—and the print is the ultimate expression of your vision. In this talk, Jack demystifies the digital darkroom, explaining his approach to processing landscape and wildlife images in a way that enhances natural beauty and tells your story.
He then takes you through the art of printing, from colour management to paper choice, showing how to transform pixels into tangible works of art. Whether you’re new to editing or curious about making your first prints, you’ll leave inspired to take your images beyond the screen.
Session 3: 3:00 PM – 4:15 PM
