I actually get to help people a lot. Usually it’s an email or skype call. As that happens more and more, I realize it’s just easier to get tons of people in a room and so …
In 2011 I traveled to Vancouver for TBEX and Innsbruck for TBU to teach the basics of good photography and the possibilities that abound with mobile photography.
In 2012 I will be speaking at:
Huffington Post Travel Photography Talk – January 27
TBU in Umbria, Italy – April 20-22
TBEX in Keystone, Colorado – June 15-17
Global Bloggers Network Conference Call – TBD
Please attend one of these events if you’re interested in learning more about mobile photography, travel photography or the simple basics of great image capture!

I am available for private tutoring, skype sessions, seminars, tours and photo walks for businesses, organizations, corporations, bloggers and PR. Email Me: kirsten [at] kirstenalana [dot] com
Testimonials & Video [coming soon]:
“I sat in one of Kirsten’s sessions at TBEX ’11, where she was introducing ways to improve travel photography using smart phones, with different apps, tips and tricks. I was a bit hesitant, as I consider myself a bit of a gadget girl, but found myself fully engaged with Kirsten. Not only did she introduce me to exciting new apps, but her enthusiasm and personality kept the audience interested. Fantastic public speaker and talented photographer!”

“I’ve seen Kirsten Alana speak on the subject of travel photography and I was sold right away on the fact that this is a person who knows what she’s talking about. An authority. A photography force to be reckoned with. As a result, my photos are much more pleasing to the eye thanks to her. Plus, she has great taste in music.”
~ David Farley | Writer, Author
“I run the largest conference of travel bloggers in the world and Kirsten led a workshop on mobile photography which received rave reviews from attendees. She was well prepared, full of charisma and expertise. She has a standing invitation to speak at all of our future events.”
~ Kim Mance | Founder, TBEX
“Thanks to a fantastic travel photography session taught by Kirsten at TBEX in Vancouver, I’ve learned how to better utilize my iPhone’s camera. I learned some of the basics, like how to adjust the focus, as well as looking at the lighting and composition in a new way. By explaining how to execute a good photo rather than saying “this is a great photo”, her session gave you hands-on information instead of theory. I downloaded several of the iphoneography apps that she recommended which have transformed my photographic style. When she told us about special lenses that you can get for your iPhone, I was hooked and got two from Photojojo. Kirsten is truly passionate about photography, and I really connected to her easy style of teaching. Thanks to her, I’m a much better photographer for my site.”
