Photography Workshops Announced for 2015 in Vietnam and Cuba.

Reportage Photography Workshops is a series of journalism workshops on location in the most fascinating cities and outposts of Asia and around the globe. 

Participants will interact closely with world-renowned photojournalists Stephen Dupont, Jack Picone and writer/editor Jacques Menasche, who have long experience in the region. They will take on project-based work aimed at advancing their writing and photographic storytelling skills.

The intensive dawn-to-dusk courses involve challenging fieldwork, formal and informal critiques, editing sessions, evening projections and open discussion. In a stunning Asian setting, participants fully engage with the local culture and environment, and learn how to create photographic reportage to the highest standard.

We are now taking bookings for the this year's workshops to be held in the grand city of Hanoi, Vietnam (July 19 - 24) and Havana, Cuba (December 6 - 11).
