fall is going to be busy...
here are two thoughts for you...more to come soonest...
(1) Magnum is giving free portfolio reviews at Visa P'our L'Image Festival this year (Perpignan)....selected portfolios will be critiqued in a public forum......september 3-6 are the dates for these reviews for those interested...more details will be here later and on the Magnum website...several Magnum photographers will be on hand...
(2) this fall i am teaching two photographic workshops from my new york loft....this is an experience for talented and very dedicated photographers.....selected photographers will be shooting individual essays and have incisive and honest daily critiques resulting in a slide show to be shown in front of new york editors and established photographers ...there will also be a simultaneous print exhibition of their work....the first class, at the end of september, now is full with 12 students....the second class, set for the second week in october has (i think) 3 or 4 places open...inquiries should be made to my workshop coordinator, marie arago (mariearago@mac.com).....
my teaching will be punctuated by guest appearances from the best in the biz....last year, my guests were photographers eugene richards, james nachtwey, samantha appleton, brenda ann keneally, chris anderson, and ed kashi... mary ann golon (Time, Director of Photography), david griffin (National Geographic, Director of Photography) , susan welchman (National Geographic, Ilustrations Editor), brian storm (Media Storm) were some of the editors on hand to "jam" with me ...the "cast" may change a bit this year depending on individual schedules, but i will make it equally compelling...
if you do decide to join us, we promise you a week to remember and treasure....it will be practicality mixed with philosophy mixed with some very very hard work mixed with a lot of fun....the whole point is to give you a realistic vision and presentation of you and your work in the new york and international marketplace so that you may best follow your dreams....
