Testimonials
“Chris gave the best presentation I’ve ever seen in your space. Really informative and he didn’t spend the first 30 minutes talking about himself like many other speakers do. Bravo!”
“Amazing presentation. Very informative, and it’s great that he is so passionate about what he shoots.”
“Chris has an easy-going way about him which makes it fun to watch the lecture, but more importantly he provides us with a wealth of useful information.”
“A great presentation that includes many good tips on how to maximize photo opportunities in the national parks. And the presenter keeps it interesting and fun. One of the best that I have seen so far.”
