08 Feb Birdlife Photography Conference 2024, Adelaide Australia

One of the highlights of 2024 was attending an “art in bird photography” conference in Adelaide. The conference hosted over 200 passionate photographers from all over Australia.

Thanks so much to Birdlife Photography Australia for inviting me and for making me feel so incredibly welcome. It was such a privilege to be the keynote speaker and to share the stage with such wonderful and talented fellow photographers. The camaraderie at the conference was fantastic and it was great to catch up with some old friends and make some new ones.

And thanks so much to Tim Van Leeuwen (President of Birdlife Photography 2020 – 2024) for his kind words below:

“I thought I would take the time to write to you and thank you for being our Key note speaker at our Biennial Conference held in Handhorf South Australia in 2024. Richard you were recommended by one of our best photographers on the organising committee who regarded you very highly. After seeing your presentation, you were the perfect choice. As our first presenter you set the positive tone for our conference and I recall watching the other presenters shifting nervously as they knew they would have to be on their A game to match you. Richard, you were well prepared, on topic and delivered your material with a very professional and enjoyable manner. What came through in your presentation were your personal values that resonated with the audience who enjoyed your presentation, your images and your personable style. Richard, I have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone who is looking for someone to inspire an audience by delivering professional photography content in a relaxed style with a focus on capturing world leading bird images.”
