"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.

Advanced Weekend Workshops by Todd & Brad Reed Photography

Located at the Cartier Mansion in Ludington, Michigan

Mission Statement for Advanced Weekend Workshops

** It is required that you first take the non-advanced Picture Perfect Weekend Workshop with Todd and Brad Reed at the Cartier Mansion before you can sign up for the Advanced Weekend Workshops.**

 The workshop will begin on Friday evening with a review of technical aspects of shooting on full manual as well as a review of the 20/20 Vision material for building stronger photo composition.  This workshop will involve much more time in the field shooting than in the Picture Perfect Weekend Workshop.  Some of this shooting will be on your own and some will be demonstrations led by Todd and Brad Reed.  The workshop will also involve learning the basics of Adobe Photoshop, digital work flow, and file optimization by Greg Dunn and Brad Reed.  On Sunday, there will be a review of images taken during the morning and evening shoots on Saturday as well as a demonstration of the techniques learned on Saturday with select workshop participant's photos.  As with the Picture Perfect Weekend Workshops, all ages and abilities are welcomed. Any digital camera is accepted, just bring your camera manual.
