*Workshop is now full*
Harry Gruyaert rarely conducts workshops. These 5-days will be a unique and intense opportunity to be taught and inspired by this highly influential photographer.
The theme of the workshop is A Sense of Place. Participating photographers are expected to produce a body of work to be presented on the last day of the workshop to a public audience.
Istanbul is the vibrant location where participants will be encouraged to wander the streets, and visually absorb the rich diversity of this city, allowing chance encounters to discover photographic possibilities.
The workshop is in collaboration with 212 Istanbul photography Festival who will host the workshop. One free place will be awarded to a Turkish photographer.
Workshop structure:
Day 1: Harry Gruyaert will present his work and methodologies of his working practise. As well as his photography he will show a film series called A Sense of Place, which is also the theme of the workshop. Participants will introduce themselves to the group and present their portfolio.
Day 2: Participants will discuss project ideas to the group and will begin photographing on the streets of Istanbul.
Day 3: Participants will begin the process of presenting the work made on Day 2, in a group critique session. Participants will then continue shooting on the streets of Istanbul.
Day 4: The same as Day 3 and one to one tutorials with Harry Gruyaert.
Day 5: A busy day to edit and sequence photographs for a presentation in the evening to a public audience.
To conclude the workshop on the the final evening there will be an event and presentation of the projects produced, in the form of a slide show, to a public audience. Followed by a presentation and talk by Harry Gruyaert.
