Documentary workshops
Everyone has a story to tell, whether it’s your own, or that of your subjects. Personal projects or photo-journalistic assignments carry unique challenges. We must learn how to tell a story with depth, sensitive, and respect, while also giving the story a beginning, a middle, and an end, (though not necessarily in that order.) Tackle these challenges with experienced, working photographers to guide you.
