Don Werthmann reveals his thinking process while looking in the viewfinder, and enjoys offering insights and answers to questions regarding the practice of photographing in the urban landscape. What are some of the thought processes and intrinsic questions that a photographer typically encounters when working in the street, and amongst the chaos of the everyday? When is the right moment to release the shutter to produce what we consider the most poetic and expressive response?
Attend this presentation to garner some ideas and practices, and learn how to create images that are not only personally meaningful but suitable for publication. Don’s intentions are to dispel the myth that photographs are produced with a single click of the shutter by displaying several frames and moments that lead to the production of an image in a publication. In other words, a photograph viewed in its final presentation context is rarely from a single shot — regardless of the genre. Find out how and why.
