Photography Presentations and Lectures by Ken Scott

Introduction

The presentation set for Etched bright with sunlightHowever good images may look on a computer screen or print, there is still nothing like seeing slides projected into a large space.

Ken Scott delivers professional slideshows, photographic presentations and photography lectures to audiences of any size from camera clubs to conferences and business events. If you are an arts group, camera club or photographic society, mountaineering or walking club, or any organisation looking for the best in photography presentations, you'll find something very inspiring in Ken's talks catalogue.

Audio-Visuals

With evocative music chosen specially to complement the mood of the images, an audio-visual presentation is much more than a slideshow; it becomes an experience as you let yourself drift and lose yourself in the scenes, unfolding and gently dissolving before you. Ken's av's have received wonderful audience acclaim, and will give both an instant relaxing affect and a long-lasting memory. These shows are available as digital projections only.

  • Natural Sculptures - 1991
    A classic from 1991 that endures to this day and is as popular and spellbinding as ever. Blending dramatic light and landforms from the desert to the glacier, from the summit to the sea - 40 mins (90 minutes with optional pre-talk).
  • Peaks of Experience - 2005
    the long awaited and stunning sequel to Natural Sculptures, with a strong spiritual and personal presence. When standing high on a summit at sunrise, in a space of silence, where every tiny movement of air can be perceived on the skin, and where one can feel at the same time both highly vulnerable and intensely alive - that is what Maslow would have called a Peak Experience - 40 mins.

Lectures and Travelogues

Ken's work is not driven by place but by light and atmosphere. However, travels into wild places lend themselves beautifully to sensitive photo-travelogues, delivered in a light and engaging style. Ken's words are uplifting and meaningful too, leaving you with a sense of involvement and connection both with the subject and your own responses.

  • Touching the Light
    Images are a part of all of us and images reveal much of our innermost thoughts and feelings. Exploring his approaches and the personal philosophy behind his photo work, Ken lays some ideas and emotions on the table - not only a photographic quest but a glimpse into the soul and to the power of the present moment - 90 mins.
  • Mountains of Middle Earth
    *New for 2007* - Ask about Europe's mountains and everyone knows the Alps and Pyrenees. This long-term project to photograph the lesser known mountains of the Mediterranean takes us around the coast in a continually-evolving and fascinating journey. This talk is in several 'mix and match' volumes, starting in Spain, western Europe's second most-mountainous country, and including (so far) Corsica, southern France, Canaries - 90 mins.
  • Besides and Beyond
    A sort of Tapas Bar, where all sorts of Ken's work is interwoven with philosophical takes on life - includes people, abstracts, observations and, of course, natural scenes - 90 mins.
  • Summits & Secrets
    An entertaining retrospective of 30 years walking the UK mountains, featuring the drenchings, the postponed dinners and the sleeping-bag photography - all in the pursuit of light - 90 mins.
  • Pyrenees - Beyond the Breche
    A journey into the Spanish Pyrenees through the Breche de Roland via GR11 and Ordesa, a wilder and less-frequented perspective into these magnificent European mountains - 40 mins.
  • Knoydart - a week in the Wilderness
    Knoydart is a much revered wilderness peninsula on the west coast of Scotland. Experience it and all its glorious wetness ! - 40 mins.
