The photojournalism workshop is offered in Israel and the West Bank. You will be taken throughout the main areas of conflict and is designed to sharpen your eye in a variety of circumstances among difficult cultural situations. We will work on light and framing, capturing the story by using the visual image. You will learn to look at the moment for when to take the 1/100 th second of a shot from an emotional and compositional point of view to help project the story for others to see. The workshop is physically intense with very long days in the field followed by evening critiquing sessions.
