Our presentation combines storytelling, instruction, and a visual journey through five decades behind the camera. In this class, Ron shares images and experiences from a career spanning corporate, editorial, and event photography including the Olympic Games, NFL events, healthcare photography inside operating rooms, architectural assignments, and more than three decades working with Six Flags. The program also features work from tours with the Moscow Ballet, national conferences, and government assignments, including photographing the President of Turkey and the First Lady during their visit to the United Nations in New York. Attendees will see how digital photography has transformed Ron’s workflow in recent years and learn how professional images are created for marketing and PR firms, newspapers, magazines, press releases, ribbon cuttings, and corporate storytelling. Along the way, Ron explains how these assignments were obtained and shares real world lessons learned on location. Ron Wyatt’s first experience with photography was an unsuccessful photo documentation of his honeymoon. Armed with a borrowed instamatic camera, he learned that camera shake will not produce great photos. Ron, a self-taught photographer has covered the NBA, NFL and Major League Baseball. He has also photographed two Summer Olympic Games. His photos have appeared in various publications such as: USA Today, Black Enterprise Magazine, Time Magazine, Newsweek, TV Guide, ESPN and others. He has had cover corporate assignments for, Six Flags, Eastman Kodak, Continental Airlines, CVS, Pepsi, Verizon, MetLife, Capital One and many others. Today, Ron continues to teach and mentor photographers through ‘Photo Adventures with Ron’, leading hands-on photo tours to destinations such as Cuba, Tanzania, Rome, Venice, Alaska, New England, and beyond.
