FLAAR has PowerPoint presentations available for your audience on diverse topics. Dr. Hellmuth can lecture in English, Spanish and German, and is used to simultaneous translation in Asia, Middle East, and any other languages.
Museums, universities, and institutes have provided airplane tickets to countries all around the world to have public lectures making available the high-resolution photographs of FLAAR. Our experience in technical photography also resulted in Dr Nicholas Hellmuth being hired as a digital imaging consultant for historical cultural heritage on the Island of Malta. Hellmuth was asked to be a guest visiting professor in digital technology at Japan’s National Museum of Ethnology already in the laate 1990’s. At the bottom of the present web page is a list of the universities and museums and clubs such as Rotary Club that have wanted to have their members learn from FLAAR’s experience in digital imaging, archaeology (iconography, cosmology, art history and architectural history) and in the recent decade, also educational topics of Neotropical flora and fauna.
Although we prefer to meet you and your audience in-person, we have also begun ZOOM presentations (and can adapt to other platforms as well but we prefer ZOOM).
Lectures for botanical gardens, orchid societies, bromeliad societies, gardening clubs
Lectures for Individuals and your family and friends, or for your club (university club, social club, Rotary Club, etc.)
Lectures for universities, museums, associations
Lectures for museums
We come from the world of museums so it is natural that we enjoy giving public lectures at Museums. FLAAR has been asked to speak at museums in Tokyo, Oaxaca (Mexico), Guatemala City (both the national museum and at the Museo Popol Vuh), St Louis Art Museum, St Louis Historical Society, Dallas Museum of Fine Arts, Denver Art Museum, etc.

During five years (as guest visiting research professor) at Brevard Community College, Florida (several decades ago), we had a Maya archaeology symposium every year. This attracted people from all over the US, from Japan, and Europe.
No need to limit yourself to just one topic
At several locations we have done seminars: so a complete series of lecture. In Korea Dr. Hellmuth presented from 9am until 5pm (obviously with lunch break and coffee, tea, and chocolate candy breaks). If you want all the flora, fauna, Maya art, archaeology, iconography presentations for you, your family, your friends and colleagues, the membership of your organization, he can stay an entire week in your location (or you can plan 2 ZOOM presentations each afternoon, or all weekend: Saturday and Sunday: your choice).
Workshops
We have organized workshops in Cincinnati and another (mentioned above) in Seoul, Korea. We did a three-day workshop in Athens, Greece. Also, the FLAAR did an all-day workshop in several countries including in Novosibirsk, Russia. Novosibirsk translates as "New Siberia".
Lectures for Printer Expos, Open House events, Conferences
Dr Nicholas has been flown to China, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, South Africa, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, EU, Malta, Mexico and Panama to share his knowledge and two decades of experience in digital photography, scanning, and especially wide-format inkjet printing (UV-curing, textile, fine art giclee, décor, etc.).
(In other words, he works on a lot more than archaeology, iconography, ethnobotany, zoology, and ecology). Very easy: a capable team assist him in each of these fields (a total of 20 individuals). All these digital imaging aspects are utilized in flora and fauna research and preparing material for local schools in Guatemala. Plus, handling all these topics is possible because he does not need a hobby, since everything he does he enjoys exploring. So his entire time is focused on research, fieldwork in remote biodiverse ecosystems, and preparing reports.

During COVID it is best to send e-mail since people at not always at the office. As soon as COVID is over and we reopen the office, it will be easier to answer the phone. In the meantime, please use e-mail; this we check every day.
We can also do presentations via ZOOM; this eliminates airfare cost but a lecture fee is appreciated since our designers will be at their home offices preparing an updated edition of the presentation and Dr Nicholas will also be updating the text.
