I can also do „Awfullogramme” Workshops where people can have their own „portraits” taken however I have yet to see whether I can make it there from the UK. If not I will have to send images for display if accepted.

I can also do a talk on pinhole photography titled:
„New Light through an old hole” which I lecture at universities around the UK.
