Jürgen Lobert | Artist Talk: The World at Night

This is an inspirational narrative about night photography by Jürgen Lobert. Jürgen will talk about the many aspects and sub-genres of night photography as a photo specialty. Night photography is very transformational, converting the familiar and mundane world into colorful, serene views. Night photos also capture time, where people disappear, clouds and cars become streaks, water ripples smooth over and stars form trails in the sky.

The event will be held in person at the Griffin Museum but will also be accessible on the Griffin Zoom Room.
