Weekend Overview: Landscape Photography and the Meaning of Life. It’s a
bold title, but one that nicely sums up the program for the 2020 Latow Photography
Weekend and reflects the feeling that many photographers have when standing before a
beautiful scene with camera in hand: This is what makes life worth living!
The weekend’s focus is on photographing the natural world, from grand landscapes to
intimate details, and from our own back yards to exotic locations we visit during our travels.
We look at ways in which this photographic exploration can become a powerful means for
personal and artistic expression, for self-discovery, even for recovery.
Saturday’s four seminar sessions are sequenced to reflect the photographic process itself,
beginning with the inspiration and motivation for our image-making, moving on to
craftsmanship, creativity, ethics and environmental concerns, and concluding with
possibilities for personal projects that showcase our images. Sunday’s two workshops delve
deeper into the craft, art and meaning of our photographs. Take-home notes for each
session are provided for handy reference.
What you will learn: How to use each step in the photographic process to help you explore
and express your personal connection with the natural world.

The hardest question in photography has nothing to do with f-stops or shutter speeds.
Ironically it is also the question that sounds so simple: “Why am I making this picture?” Yet
the answer can be elusive, especially in the genres of landscape and fine art photography
when often the only reason we can come up with is a lame “because it’s beautiful.” In this
session we grapple with the Why of image-making: why we pick up our cameras in the first
place, why we prefer some photographic genres, scenes and subject matter over others, and
ultimately what it is we want to say with our photographs. Topics include:
