The Northern Short Course in Photojournalism was founded in 1981, by the Directors of NPPA Regions 1, 2 and 3 as a joint educational program of those three regions. Held this year in Fairfax, Virginia, the event features lecture presentations, workshops, contests, and more.
For his lecture, Gerd Ludwig will focus on the central body of his work, Russia’s warp-speed transformation from communism to runaway capitalism — marked by bold aspirations, poignant suffering, and glittering opportunity. His presentation will also include his latest photographs of the Chernobyl aftermath taken in early 2011 and his recently published coverage of Astana, Kazakhstan in the February 2012 edition of National Geographic Magazine.
The lecture will take place in the first Morning Session on Saturday, March 10th from 9:00am – 10:15am.

During the 2012 Palm Springs Photo Festival, National Geographic photographer Gerd Ludwig will be teaching a 4-day workshop: Exploring the Salton Sea and Its Surroundings – Documentary Photography on Location. The goal of the workshop is to help photographers develop a personal vision, and to leave feeling inspired to take their photography to a higher level.
After portfolio reviews, Gerd will openly share the personal approaches he uses to create his own stories for National Geographic Magazine. On at least two days, Gerd will take the students to the nearby Salton Sea, a place he photographed for National Geographic Magazine. The workshop runs from Monday, April 2 – Wednesday, April 4, 9:00am – 4:00pm (plus Thursday, April 5, 9:00am – 11:00am)
