Our technical expertise
Keith Cooper lectures widely on digital imaging, colour management, and the technology and software associated with it.
In September 2011, Keith was invited to join X-Rite’s ‘Coloratti’
“X-Rite’s Coloratti includes the world’s top professional photographers, a group whose vision, passion, leadership, and partnership are recognized and valued by X-Rite. Coloratti photographers are highly respected by their peers and are admired by up-and-coming professionals, enthusiasts, and students alike.”
As a university lecturer and qualified adult tutor (C&G 7307) Keith appreciates the training needs of your organisation.
Keith’s experience as a geophysicist, electronics engineer, university researcher and professional photographer mean that training can include detailed discussions of semiconductor technologies and image processing software.
Keith regularly speaks at business seminars on non technical aspects of photography and even teaches estate agents how to take better house photos.
Seminars are pitched at the level you want, and your staff can make use of.

Rates for lectures and seminars are based on the same half and full day rates quoted above and usually do not attract a ‘per delegate’ charge.
