Join Magnum Photographers Bieke Depoorter and Lua Ribeira for a workshop in the streets of Historic Downtown Wilson, North Carolina from Wednesday October 27 to Saturday October 30, 2021.
This intense photography workshop is a unique occasion to learn and build your photographic skills with two world leading storytellers. For both Bieke and Lua it's important to establish a collaborative relationship with the people they photograph and they often create their own narratives with real people. The workshop objective is to explore and photograph the town of Wilson by focusing on a particular place or people - A bar, a family, a park, a street - Based on a set of guidelines established by Bieke and Lua. The workshop will help you develop your intention as a photographer as you establish a deep connection with your chosen subject under the mentorship of these award winning Magnum photographers.
