Workshop: Storytelling in Contemporary Photography by Martin Toft

Workshop: Storytelling in Contemporary Photography

This workshop will focus on original approaches to storytelling in documentary and narrative photography. Strong emphasis will be placed on how image-makers’ today are making photo books as a mode of self-expression and dissemination of personal creative projects.

Through the programme participants will be equipped with the skills and confidence to find their own voice and unique concepts and themes. The workshop will act as a directed creative platform where clarity is brought to personal vision by developing the visual language that leads to the realisation of multiple creative outcomes such as building a portfolio, designing a photo book or mounting an exhibition.

If you are interested in telling stories through contemporary photography sign up of for our new 6 months workshop investigating the photobook as object, as language, as self-expression.
