Travel photography is a cross-sectional art that needs an extraordinary capability to adapt, both professionally and personally, to an endless series of situations. First of all, it is vital to simply learn how to travel. Which means dealing with different people of all cultures and always bring the best out of them. And at the same time being able to move in often uncharted, if not hostile, territories and exploit all their photographic potential. It is necessary to study a lot, know and respect foreign countries and cultures and put a great deal of physical effort into the building process of the story. This workshop with one of our award-winning travel photojournalists will teach you how to move in harmony in unexpected and unknown environments, to master photographic techniques useful in any situation, and every other trick to shoot a great travel story.
Suitable for everyone. Own digital camera suggested. Next workshops will take place in the agency's new headquarters in Via Donatello, 19, Milan. Lessons will be in Italian. Cost: 300 euros per person. Dates: 11th/12th September and 9th/10th October, 2010. For infos and subscriptions write to: workshop@parallelozero.com
The basic rule to shoot a good story is in a sentence well known by reporters: “f 5.6 and be there”. Knowing how to get “there” and, once arrived, how to move around, to interact with the environment and the local people, to make your presence there seem perfectly natural: these are the necessary premises to take a picture that works and, more generally, to tell a good story. During a workshop with one of Parallelozero’s photojournalists, you will learn the planning of a reportage, how to use a camera and when it is better not to use it, how to get the best out of the available light, how to look for your subject when it doesn’t seem to be there, how to find the most effective points of view, how to get “there”. At the end, you will know why 5.6 is the best f-stop, but most of all, you’ll know how to tell a good story.
Suitable for photographers who want to go deeper into the storytelling side of photo reportage. Next workshop will be held at Parallelozero's new headquarters in Milan, Via Donatello 19, on 18th/19th September, 2nd/3rd October and 23rd/24th October, 2010. Main teacher, Sergio Ramazzotti. Cost: 300 Euros per person. Infos and reservations: workshop@parallelozero.com
