What I Do
Social media is now a crucial element in business and economic development – and increasingly community development. It drives impact and change in the public, private and voluntary sectors.

Social media can breakdown barriers between decision-makers and community members, or businesses and their target audiences.

I deliver training courses on the use of social media and technology in business and community development.

But while social media is important, documenting the story efficiently, effectively and coherently is the key.

I can record and present events/stories digitally and by using more traditional media (words and print). Plus, I can show you and your organisation how to produce content using trusted journalistic techniques and new technologies.

My workshops focus not just on the technology but also how to tell the story itself. It doesn’t matter whether you use a big digital SLR or an iPhone – get the basic photographic principles right and people will want to look at your work.

If you want your work, business or event documented in words, pictures – and live online, ask about working with me.

I can provide the following:

Live: video streams of events, live blog updates, live maps, live tweets, immediately available audio.

Recorded: Images, videos and audio for website or YouTube/Vimeo, editorial newsletter, article/feature, press release, book, framed prints.

Speaking and media appearances
I speak at photographic, design innovation and social media technology events. My presentations include successful social media, how I promote my own projects and being abused as a photographer.
