UPCOMING

DETAILS

  • The workshops will be a mixture of daily photo shootings, combined with theory classes, photo assignments and reviews. This will be a full-day immersive experience. We will get up early and shoot as long as our feet can endure it.

  • We will shoot every day working in small groups, pairs and solo. There will be several meeting points throughout the day so that everybody who wants a little break or work on his own can join the main group afterwards.

  • The maximum group will be four people plus an invited local photographer. The invited photographer will provide his personal insight about his area and show us the way he shoots and engages with its people. This invited guest will be announced shortly before the workshop.

  • I'll avoid the group staying packed together so that everybody gets the chance to get unique shots. At the end of each day, everybody is invited to share some of his favourite pictures and discuss them.

  • All the participants will get the chance to observe how I work and the way I approach strangers. Also, each participant will be given specific assignments according to his main interests as well as to develop his composition, framing and so on.

  • There will be several meetings where we'll talk about street photography, from theory to technical aspects, as well as ethics. During these presentations the participants are welcome to ask any questions, I'll do my best to assist each participant personally.

  • There will be a follow-up that aims to provide further advice on editing, selecting and sequencing the pictures taken during the course of the workshop.

  • I give special consideration to vulnerable subjects, and I am completely against staged pictures. Therefore, I'll personally encourage each participant to solely take candid photos, and be respectful of the locals.

  • Well before the workshop takes place, I'll create a group chat where I'll personally assist the participants with travel logistics such as visas, plane tickets, etc. Also, the group chat is a good instance to get to know each other before the workshop.

  • Accommodation is not included. I’ll advise you several options to make it easier for the group to meet up.

  • This experience is meant to be real and raw. We'll eat at local places, explore dirty alleys, and pay no one to pose for us. Everything will be natural and spontaneous.

  • We'll take care of each other during the course of the workshop. However, if something happens, I won't take responsibility for any goods that get stolen or broken. The same counts if someone gets sick. I will do my best to help, but the workshop will continue.

  • A month before the workshop, all participants are required to fully pay the fee by bank transfer or PayPal.

  • The fee is fully refundable (minus the transfer cost) if the vacant spot is taken by another person. On the other hand, only 50% will be refunded in case no substitute is found.
