Ralph Talmont’s Summary

Hello, dzien dobry, guten Tag, jai siyaram, hajimemashite, hola, nihao, bonjour.
Thanks for stopping by.

First things first. Please do not send me any MLM proposals. I am in the media business. I'm not interested in MLM regardless of how terrific it sounds. Consider me a dead lead. Thanks for your understanding.

--

Right now I'm building on twenty five years' experience in photography, multimedia and publishing to create a new mobile and web platform which combines all three. We're creating a new kind of a online environment for travellers - part village market, part a communications centre, part editorial platform. The aim of our little startup venture is to democratise travel publishing. For now it's a cool way to send free virtual postcards from your mobile.

To keep in touch you are welcome to follow me on Twitter @ralphtalmont. I promise not to mention the weather or talk about what I'm having for dinner.

---

Highly skilled in photography in all formats, photo editing, book design and publishing, multimedia production, creative direction and strategic planning, project management, rights and contract negotiation. Interested in world music, film, social sciences, food, and modes of expression which bring all these together.

I'm comfortable dealing with all cultures, having lived in Europe, Australia and New Zealand, spent long stretches of time in Hong Kong and the USA, dealt in a professional capacity with clients and suppliers from Mumbai to Monaco and travelled extensively throughout Asia, Europe and North America.

Ralph Talmont’s Specialties:
