PHOTOGRAPHY IS EASY, PHOTOGRAPHY IS DIFFICULT and also an amazing experience if you happen to get the chance to attend a workshop with Paul Graham. Well here's your chance! The best part of 2 weeks with Paul Graham in Santander Spain. And what's more it's FREE.
Here is all you need to know:
Applicants must be experienced in photography, and have demonstrated a commitment and knowledge of the medium over many years. This is not a workshop for beginners.
This workshop deals with photography and the world – with making images from life as-it-happens, with the visual language of seeing, perceiving the world and our place within it. The work and goals of each participant will be discussed, and encouraged. Attention will be paid to the editing process – with forming the work into a meaningful whole – for both publication and exhibition –as an integral part of the creative process. Learning to deal with scale, presence, sequence, pause, balance/ imbalance. How does one help the work ‘arrive’, and be all it could be?
