THE ART OF TRAVEL PHOTOGRAPHY
March 6, 2025 7:30PM ET / 5:30PM MT
Travel photography requires the combination of technical expertise, culture competence, intuitive awareness, curiosity, and a dash of panache. Nevada shares her tips on how to photograph more insightfully and creatively, even in some of the harshest light, to create beautiful images you know exist and your mind imagines, but your technical expertise is lacking. Nevada dissects ways to see more creatively and “photographically”, as well as tips on using color powerfully and how to approach and photograph people in foreign lands to create natural, respectful, and unique portraits camera.

Travel photography is deceptively difficult. It is not enough to be at a colorful festival, have an interesting subject, or marvel at the wonders of Iceland or Namibia. The challenge is making an interesting image of a riveting or even an ordinary subject; an image that emanates emotion and wonder, releasing your inner artist. With a camera you are not just documenting the world, you are interpreting it. An image happens in the mind first, not the camera.
In this presentation Nevada will dissect what it means to “see photographically.” How to convert “looking” to acutely “seeing” the creative potential in front of you, and then how to translate it into a compelling photograph. Learn the limitations and advantages of your sensor, camera settings, and lens choice, and how to evaluate the light and shadows, color and form. Join Nevada to journey on the path to seeing photographically in your travels and personal projects.
