Feature Presentations & Workshops
For decades, Chris has given presentations and workshops from British Columbia to Florida and California to New Brunswick. Feature presentations have included those at CAPA (Canadian Association for Photographic Art), and NANPA (North American Nature Photography Association). By drawing on his experience as an outdoor guide and fine art photographer, Chris reveals the stunning beauty of British Columbia’s central Cariboo Chilcotin Coast wilderness, offering artistic and technical insights to his work as an artist, photographer and publisher.
“We were just blown away with Chris’ presentation. Seeing Chris’ images, along with his commentary about his thoughts and feeling behind the shots, was wonderful. It really gave you a sense and a feeling for the grasslands.”
“I am fortunate to have participated in the workshop with Chris. His approach to creating different and exciting art from mundane subject matter has rekindled and expanded my interest in art photography”
D.T.; Montreal Camera Club – 2018
“Your visit to our club will be remembered for a long time as a real highlight.”
