Description
This practical and process-led workshop is for photographers and artists who already grasp the basic concepts of photography and understand lenses and cameras, and who want to explore the literacy aspect of it – they will not only take images but will read them.
Over two weeks they will be working with complex images from photographers, visual storytellers and photojournalists. The aim will not only be to read images but also to implement it into day to day photographic practice.
