The kendall Camera Club is proud to present award winning photographer Eduardo Schneider. Join us in this "Can't Miss" educative and entertaining evening.

The idea that a photo is worth a thousand words couldn’t be more outdated. These days, photos are worth much more than that.

But the expansion of visual media created new challenges and rewards to those who choose to take photos to tell stories. Award-winning editorial photographer Eduardo Schneider will share his experiences translating editorial articles into engaging content through photography, something he loves to call “visual storytelling”.

In his presentation, Schneider will show several examples of his published work, how they came to life through collaboration with editors and art directors, and much of the techniques used to accomplish his goals. Also, Schneider will share his views of the “new fundamentals of photography”, including the use of Photoshop, Lightroom and plugins in the art of post-processing.

About Eduardo Schneider:

From well-behaved chimpanzees and licensed trappers holding not-so-well-behaved alligators to liquid-nitrogen frozen drinks and restaurateurs serving upside-down tables, I’ve seen it all. Or rather, have photographed it all. Ok, maybe not all, but definitely seen a lot.

I’m a South Florida-based, barbecue-baby-back-ribs-eating and award-winning photographer who has been filling pages of local, national and international publications with images of all kinds of people, themes and subjects for over 15 years. And loving every minute of it.

In several occasions my subjects ask: “you really love the work you do, right?” – I always put my camera down and answer: “yes, I do.”

But it’s their stories and your story that fascinates me. These days anyone can pick up a camera and click the shutter button. For me, photographing goes beyond the camera. It’s about learning about the people I’m shooting and falling in love with them and their missions.

Certain civilizations believe that when you take their photo you steal their soul. Here’s what I believe: when I take someone’s photo I feel like I’m having the chance to capture their soul and am blessed with the opportunity of sharing it with the rest of the world. Not stealing, sharing”.

Having experienced a successful career in journalism as a reporter, news writer, editor and creative director for several publications in my native country of Brazil and in the U.S, helps me understand my mission as a photographer from a different perspective and create images that are engaging, exciting and memorable. My passion has always been editorial photography and my work has made the pages of publications such as Miami Magazine, Delray Beach Magazine, Boca Raton Magazine, Lincoln Road, Las Olas, International Yachtsman, Florida Table, Social Affair, Caras Brazil, Guest Informant and Sports Illustrated. Also had the opportunity to create images featured in numerous advertising campaigns, catalogs and other print and web products.

In addition to shooting for the publishing and advertising industries, Eduardo Schneider Photography is my channel to offer quality photography services to individuals, professionals, corporations, political organizations and families interested in capturing their special moments in a unique and memorable way.
