I have spoken to photographers around the world, from 20 students to rooms with 2000 or more. I am very experienced and very comfortable on a stage. My talks are lively and fun! I involve the photographers and I walk around the audience. My keynotes are universal themes working well with all cultures and skill levels. I have multiple keynotes available from composition, to style, to destination weddings, to business and more. I have two very popular keynotes heard around the world:
Power Style!
Develop a dynamic composition and a compelling style! (a 1.5 to 2.5 hour program)
My Mistakes with Posing & Composition (a 2 to 3 hour program)
A very informative and entertaining experience!
“I’ve learned so much from my mistakes… I’m thinking of making a few more.”
Multiple Day Workshops
I also have many styles of all day or multiple day workshops designed for 20 to 50 students:
Frame Design: A Shoot with Beckstead Workshop!
Intensive Wedding/Composition Awareness
Style Development: Exploring the direction and patterns of your imagery.
A “hands-on” class where your work will be honestly critiqued.
