A workshop for photographers & visual storytellers

Xanthi, Greece 1-6 October

Extinction is a situation in which something no longer exists. We talk about extinction of species or plants and worry about our own human extinction. Ideas, behaviour and social constructs can become extinct for better or worse. Extinction can also be seen more broadly as the elimination of anything that previously was.

On 1-6 October I'm teaming up with Transformations colleague Eefje Ludwig and Transeurope, PhMuseum and Fotomat for a photography workshop on the theme Extinction. Photographers concerned with the topic can sign up for the 5 day program where 15 photographers and visual artists will get the opportunity to amplify the impact of their stories through personal coaching and collaborative practises.

The workshop programme will touch upon topics such as:

Finding relevant stories (beyond the cliche)
How to write good project proposals
Setting up project planning and impact goals
The importance and practice of editing
Finding partners and (the right) audience for your project

During the workshop the photographers will receive individual guidance to move the work forward, consider suitable outputs, target audiences and create an impact plan. We will also focus on bundling the forces of the group by creating a collective showcase around the theme.
