WORKSHOP I am as much a storyteller as I am a photographer; photography for me is just a tool to tell stories I am interested in. Whether you write, are a filmmakers or photographer, you always need a good narrative. Without a good narrative a documentary maker not have a story.

WORKSHOP I am very concerned with issues that effect society as a whole.

Behind every single issue is something larger. We must never loose sight of the big picture and we must always question why people are poor and why do they stay poor? With my students I am looking for an intelligent view ...

WORKSHOP My workshop will mainly be about storytelling through photography. A very important part of a photographer’s job is the research and analysis of his/her subject. Before starting, photographers have to think about the message they want to transmit and how they have to photograph the subject in order to tell the full story. Every day we’ll have a look at the story of each student and see which pictures are still missing. This will not only be a discussion ...
