Moscow Workshop

Too cool! I’ve been invited to do a talk and hands-on workshop with stock photographers in Moscow on April 26. I’ve always wanted to visit Russia. As a “50-young” something, and growing up in the “Cold War” era, Moscow was always a forbidden yet intriguing city.

The workshop is sponsored by Stockxpert- over 200 photographers signed up within the first few days. The other photographer, Lev Dolgachov (from Estonia) and myself, will speak in the morning, then shoot in the afternoon. While Lev demonstrates studio lighting, I will be working with natural light and reflectors. I better start practicing my Russian!

Here’s more info on the workshop.

    I did a shoot in Moscow last year. You will love the country and the culture. Considering all our two countries have been through, it was a sureal experience to be in Red Square.

    Ron,
    I’m a new fan, I’ve been reading your blog for a month or so. Not only can I be jealous of your work but also that you get to go to Moscow! I know it’s a working trip but enjoy.

    My wife is from Russia, I’ve been there three times. You don’t need to know Russian in Moscow, all younger folks speak good english and many older folks too. Get outside the city and it’s much different, few speak english unless they are young.

    Be very careful while there but enjoy the food and culture!
