Gerd Ludwig's German edition of his new book "Minus 2/3 Reportage- und Straßenfotografie mit dem unsichtbaren Blitz – Eine Meisterklasse" will have its official launch this week at PhotoKina.

More than 20 years ago, he began incorporating small handheld flashes into his photography with the aim of creating an evenly balanced look in the final photograph. These small flashes also alleviated the burden of carrying heavy equipment and allowed him to be flexible and inconspicuous when moving around in the field. Over the years, he has refined his use of small flash to hone his technique even further. The flash appears so subtly in the final image that it is easily mistaken for natural light — hence an invisible flash.

A book signing is scheduled for 11am this Saturday, September 24 at the dpunkt.verlag stall, located at Hall 4.1 Booth C27/D24. We hope to see you there!
