LECTURES

Pat and Rosemarie Keough greatly enjoy giving talks and have presented to enthusiastic audiences in the UAE, Europe, Australia, Antarctica and North America. Their experiences cross many disciplines and as such the Keoughs tailor their lectures for businessmen and women, scientists, explorers, bibliophiles, photographers, book artists, students and the general public. In addition, since 2009 the Keoughs have been sharing their passion for photography with travellors and explorers on expedition ships. Rosemarie and Pat are clear and energetic teachers of photography. They are also quite the story tellers. Here's where they have been giving presentations:

 Pat and Rosemarie are strong lecturers. They relate well to one another and engage their audiences with their stories, images, enthusiasm and energy.
They are an amazing couple who are absolute artists in all they do.

                                                                                              Richard Haskayne, Calgary, Canada

 

 Rosemarie and Pat keep their audience mesmerized with their fascinating
story-telling that accompanies some of the finest art photography I have seen.

                                                                                              David Friesen, Friesens Corporation

 

 Pat and Rosemarie Keough were a pleasant surprise, especiallly on
the long passage from St Maartin. They were very entertaining
AND educational. Their knowledge and experience of
photography and travel were stunning.

                                                                                              Fred Read, North Carolina, USA

 

 Rosemarie and Pat were the finest and most helpful lecturers I have ever
encountered and with the most worldwide wealth of knowledge.

                                                                                              William Clark, Anchorage, Alaska

 

 VERY useful were the seminars on photography and South Pacific history
presented by Pat and Rosemarie Keough. These two people were.
absolutely spellbinding during their history lecture. And their secrets
in capturing captivating shots were particularly useful for anybody with a
high-end camera or smart-phone

                                                                                              Tim Zimmerman, USA

 

 I reserve my absolute highest marks for Pat and Rosemarie Keough.
Their knowledge and expertise were world class exceptional.
I attended every class and every lecture. Beyond that, they were kind,
helpful, gracious and very patient and encouraging to those of us who
wanted to learn all we could. I have the utmost regard for their work,
their commitment, and for them personally.
