3. Topics available for webinars?    
   Lisa offers something different: Lisa's sessions are not "narrated slide shows."  They are actual powerful educational tools!  She makes them engaging and audience-interactive.  These single-session photography classes are packed with information and inspiration designed to educate your members in wonderful ways.  
    
   • Alaska:  Tips for finding and photographing wildlife
   • The New Nature Photography:  Learning about creating images of nature that work beyond the magazine and calendar.  Re-imagining composition, exposure, framing, and many other rules, we will explore how the photography "rules" we've always learned don't always apply in all situations, markets and more.  This major mind shift makes this presentation one of Lisa's most in-demand sessions. 
   • The Visual Power of Contrast:  How to use selective contrast in ways you never thought about in-camera and in post-processing.  Learn why getting it exactly right is integral to creating impact, getting your audience to view your images with the experience you as the artist intended, and much more.  This is a highly interactive session with rave reviews! 
   • Abstract Photography:  A fresh look at the techniques behind the best images -- including why we should take the genre of abstract photography much more seriously!  The take-aways from this session will be applicable to building your portfolio of abstracts with skill and elegance.
   • Photographing Wildlife in High Key Style:  How to shoot in Lisa's favorite style--high-key!  These are the classic, light, bright and ethereal images that people adore and Lisa has been deemed by many as "The High Key Queen!"  Get introduced to what makes this genre so special and compelling--and how to start capturing high key images yourself!
   • An Artistic Photographer Lies in All of Us:  An inspirational, eye-opening and enlightening session with activities to expand your creative side.  You will come away from this session with numerous key "take aways" and strategies for pushing your own creativity, getting out of the "rut," and having actionable tools that will give you inspiration anywhere you go so that you never are "stuck" again!  Additionally, Lisa provides several activities that your camera clubs can do as a group to facilitate additional creativity.  
   • Image reviews & editing tips:  Lisa is well-known for her supportive, helpful, and educational image reviews.  Bringing her in to your group to do a review of images from your group will leave your members inspired, educated, and ready to push their craft further.  Lisa has a way of being wonderfully constructive, while never being harsh.  She believes you must know what you're doing right as much as needing to know what needs improvement.   She takes time to think and care about each image while she shares her thoughts.  Lisa will review images from  your audience and give suggestions on composition, editing (including demonstrations) and helpful commentary on what works well and what can be tried in the future to best capture  your favorite subjects and scenes.  To make the process easy, she sends you a link for members to use to upload their images so she can see them.

      2. Registration link for members (If you request Lisa to use her Zoom account):  You will be sent a link well in advance of your live session to share with your invited participants to register and attend the session.  They will receive a confirmation email with a link that is unique for each individual.  They will then receive automated reminders via email shortly before the event, including the link to click on and join the live session.

Club/Organization Business before or after:  Lisa is happy to accommodate club/organization announcements and important club business before or after the live session (within reason - 15 mins or so.
