As a holder of photographic distinctions, I regularly give talks/judge at camera clubs nationally and internationally. I am currently on the Irish Photographic Federation’s lists of approved judges and approved lecturers.

Hi Julie, Thank you so much for your presentation to Happy Snappers last night. It was lovely to hear about your journey in photography and observe how far you have come. Your creations are beautiful and inspiring. Enjoy these rest of 2021 and good luck with the galleries.

Kind regards, Ray Croke Treasurer, Happy Snappers Camera Club

That was a fabulous evening that you provided for the camera club - we knew we were in the safe hands of an expert in their field. And we were first in the UK! Thank you so much for an informative and engaging presentation. I know that the members are now even more keen to get out with their cameras and try something different. Whether we will ever match your standard is another matter but thank you for sharing your expertise and enthusiasm in such an accessible manner. There really was something for everyone from expert to novice and I am sure each will have learned valuable tips and techniques from you. We loved it. Locksheath and Salisbury Camera Club.


Just wanted to thank you so much for a very enjoyable evening…our members gave great feedback on your judging style, and constructive feedback to members. We thought your presentation of images was brilliant, highlighting 1,2,3rd at the end was lovely and showing all images in a panel style was well received and noted as a lovely touch. Competition Secretary, Clondalkin Camera Club. April 2021.


Thank you very much for a great night of judging and critique. Mid-Louth Camera Club, Feb 2021.
