"Picture Perfect Weekend Workshops" by Todd & Brad Reed Photography

Located at the Cartier Mansion in Ludington, Michigan

Mission Statement for Workshops
The workshops are designed to teach people how to "see the world in photographs". Todd and Brad Reed cover many technical aspects of photography (including shutter speed, F-stops and aperture, ISO, depth of field, etc.) and we teach people how to make better choices with their own cameras. Todd and Brad also spend a lot of time teaching people how to break down a photograph into all of its technical and artistic elements. The workshops will also focus on the art/vision side of photography and to provide you with more choices/building blocks to create great art. Todd and Brad will teach you the 20 artistic elements they use when they are in the field "making" their photographs. The weekend workshops are great for a total beginner with a 'point and shoot' camera or a seasoned professional who is looking for a different perspective. All ages and abilities are welcomed. We will share all of our secrets on every aspect of our photography business and our secrets on how we shoot. Any film or digital camera is accepted. Just bring your camera manual.
