Public Speakers

At GoBoda we believe that the more information we are all willing to share about what makes our companies successful, the more we can work together to raise the bar for quality throughout the photography community. “Connect, inform and inspire” are not just words to us—they are the primary goals of the GoBoda educational program.


Connect.

In addition to founding GoBoda, Jim and Katarina Garner also run one of today’s most sought-after photography studios: J. Garner Photography was named “one of the top 10 wedding photographers in the world” by American Photo Magazine.  Jim and Katarina are experts in their respective fields, but the real key to their popularity is their willingness to share, and their ability to connect with people on a personal level. A class with Jim or Katarina is not just a dry PowerPoint presentation—it’s an in-depth, hands-on, interactive experience. They bring you behind the camera, and behind the scenes, to see how it really works and what it all means.

Inform.
GoBoda educational programs can be tailored to fit the needs of each audience, but here are a few favorites:

  • Revolutionize and Energize Your Studio: The Art of Story Shooting
  • Competition! Take Giant Leaps toward Improving Your Style
  • Profitability versus Work: How Designing a Strategic Studio Will Lead You to More Money, Less Work
  • The Art of Reinvention

Inspire.
These programs will have you laughing, engaged and inspired, and they’ll leave you with the confidence to grow and develop as an individual artist rather than following the pack. Here’s what a few GoBoda alumni have to say:

“Too often the professional photographic market has seen photographers who hit the lecture circuit and become so focused on teaching, they lose sight of keeping their hands in the business and staying in touch with the day in day out challenges of running a studio and dealing with clients. Jim Garner's popularity as an instructor is directly aligned with his ability to understand marketing, technology and his clients.  He's stayed true to the importance of his role as a photographer first and an instructor second, which gives his message credibility and content his students can apply almost immediately to their businesses.”
S. B. Cohen, President, Marketing Essentials International

“Jim Garner loves to teach. It shows. His passion for photography, marketing and people is contagious. If you have not seen Jim live - go to his blog now - watch his videos. His charisma and excitement for life is contagious. To top it all off, working with Jim and Katarina to arrange travel, dates, and content was seamless. They treated us the same as their best client (or so it seemed). Thanks for the GREAT program!”
Mark Orenstein, Professional Photographers Association of Canada – Alberta
