Public Speaking

I enjoy talking about my work and ideas to an audience. Common subjects include how artists can benefit from social media, my approach to photography and the impact of digital culture. I have guest lectured at Birmingham City University’s School of Media and Birmingham Institute of Art and Design and given talks for The RSA, Cadbury College, Black Country Museums, Fierce Earth, Ikon Gallery, Birmingham City Council, Shropshire Council and mac. I am also an enthusiastic participant at Birmingham’s Pecha Kucha events.

Here are some recordings of talks I have given over the last few years. Some of these are very lo-fi but I hope will give you a taste of my style and range.
