These lecture-based workshops are meant for all levels of photographers, amateurs, and photography enthusiasts. Even emerging professionals will benefit. Using his photographs fromNational Geographicassignments worldwide, and centering on his food truck assignment as a practical example, Gerd Ludwig will teach participants how to make engaging and memorable photographs of everyday life, giving advice that can be applied anywhere around the world.
His approaches when photographingNational Geographicassignments can be utilized in a variety of circumstances. Central to creating interesting images is the photographers ability to think outside the box, even when shooting seemingly ordinary situations.
Ludwig will openly share his own photographic techniques he employs when working forNational Geographic, specifically the methods he used photographing food truck food, people enjoying the trucks, and the trucks themselves. In general, he will reveal his tricks and tips to create candid, unexpected and unique images in uncontrolled environments.
Advanced Workshop:This workshop is geared towards amateur and serious photographers who are interested in taking their photography to the next level. Starting briefly with basic information similar to the beginner workshop, Luwig will add further technical instruction, such as choice of lenses, lighting and filters, including the many uses for on-and-off-camera strobes when photographing the varied situations in everyday life, using images from his previousNational Geographicassignments as examples.
From landscapes to nightlife, he will emphasize the importance of thinking outside the box to create more unusual, engaging, surprising and personal photographs. Approaches to using light, color, shapes, background, depth of field, and composition will be covered. Ludwig will also explain how content and composition work in unison to tell a story.
