Zoom Talks please use the contact form on this website to reach me.
I offer a range of on-demand and Zoom presentations that explore the creative journey, techniques, and artistic philosophy behind my work. Designed for camera clubs, art societies, galleries, and anyone with a passion for photography, these talks provide insight into both the motivation behind my images and the processes used to create them.
A Journey to and from Vemödalen
In this session, I share my journey from early representational photography to the creation of expressive multiple exposures. For photographers whose cameras do not offer multiple exposure facilities, I also introduce the ‘Pep Ventosa’ or ‘In the Round’ technique.
The presentation explores how to prepare the camera, work intuitively, and “shoot through” a subject in order to capture its essence rather than simply record its appearance. I also discuss my post-processing approach and how these layered images evolve into something entirely new and unique.
Designed to inspire and comfortably fit within a two-hour Camera Club slot, this session is centred on exploration, experimentation, and the development of a personal visual voice.
A Journey to Expressionism
This session offers a broader and more pictorial exploration of my work. Rather than concentrating on technical instruction, it takes viewers on a visual journey through a wide range of imagery including street photography, portraiture, wildlife, and more expressive creative work.
The emphasis is on inspiration, visual storytelling, and the emotional and interpretive possibilities of photography. The presentation is flexible in structure and can be adapted to suit different audiences and time allocations.

Reviews
'That was a fabulous talk tonight and very inspirational. For someone who would have seen themselves as a more ‘traditional’ photographer and who is relatively early on their ‘creative’ journey, it was very interesting to see so many shared choices and directions as you have got to the place you are. Truly beautiful work!'

'An inspiring presentation of a photographic journey: from street photography, landscape and nature to creative abstract. We all looked forward to Lynne’s talk in our camera club in January and it was indeed nothing short of inspiring. As many of us are searching for our own voice of expression through photography, Lynne shared her own way to creativity and the evolution of her artistic vision. Not only could we admire her stunning images but we were also able to see what there was behind the scene. Her explanation of why and how she had created her works of art was particularly valuable and very much appreciated. Lynne generously shared her knowledge and captivated us with the beauty and deep expressiveness of her work. After her presentation we were all eager to get our hands on our cameras and engage in the endless possibilities of artistry in photography. '
