This evening’s proposed presentation by Frances Marshall will make you think.

In this talk we’ll discuss how to navigate your inner voice as a photographer in both commercial and fine art exhibition work.

Frances says that working in this world for 20 years she’s been doing her utmost to stay true to what matters to her and her clients while also using her work to fight for social justice in unexpected places.

We will work through the practicalities of the career and strategies to continuously help you push forward.

Frances Marshall is a classical music and opera photographer who has been working in the industry predominantly in the UK, Europe and the U.S.

Her clients include some of the world’s greatest classical musicians and arts organisations.

Trevor is an international travel photographer and photo tour leader, based in Donegal, Ireland. Born in Derry, he went on to teach geography at international schools in Singapore, Togo, Italy, Ethiopia and Brazil – always travelling extensively with his camera.

This naturally brought two of his life’s passions together as a geographer-photographer. His photography focuses predominantly on culture and landscapes; images which reflect a spatial and temporal journey through life, while striving to reflect the need to live in a more sustainable world. By seeking the moment and light in various contexts, we can turn the ordinary into the extraordinary.

My approach is based on an alternative vision of tomorrow – capturing unforgettable moments through photography that empower us to reflect upon the world around us, and truly be the change that we want to see in that world.

As Henry David Thoreau said, “It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see”.

Margaret is a Scottish artist, photographer and writer living on the Isle of Harris in the Scottish Outer Hebrides.

The stillness and being surrounded by sea and nature on Harris is at the heart of her creative work. She created all her creative retreats, online membership, and yearly festival from a belief that creativity is vital for well-being. Being surrounded by like-minded creatives enriches our lives and encourages us to take time to be creative; she loves bringing people together, to quiet beautiful places to retreat and absorb nature together.
