LECTURE : Gerd Ludwig "Russia – From Broken Empire to Wild Wild East"

This week at the IRIS NIGHTS lecture series @ Annenberg Space for Photography in Culver City. Currently the lecture is fully booked but they do stand-bys. If you already RSVP, get there before 6:15 otherwise they may start letting stand-bys in. First come, first serve.

Gerd Ludwig studied photography with Otto Steinert in his native Germany. In 1984 he relocated to New York and signed on as a contract photographer for National Geographic Magazine in the early 1990's. His focus on the socio-economic changes following the dissolution of the Soviet Bloc resulted in the publication of his ten-year retrospective book and exhibition, Broken Empire: After the Fall of the USSR. His ongoing coverage of post-Soviet Russia has garnered his distinction as being the world’s foremost color photographer documenting the region.

Now based in Los Angeles, Gerd Ludwig photographs primarily for National Geographic, occasionally shoots advertising, and lectures at universities and photographic workshops internationally.

In 2006 he received the Lucie Award for International Photographer of the Year.
