The Workshop
While spending an intensive four weeks in the summer 2010 Photojournalism Workshop, you will learn to think, act and photograph like a professional. Individual presentations will be made by the women and men whose work appears in the major newspapers and magazines of the world. They will make individual presentations, show large selections of their work, talk about their lives and their concerns, and answer your questions.

While you are thinking about what you have seen and heard, you will be photographing assignments ranging from spot news and portraiture to documentary investigations and comprehensive picture stories. You also will learn to read and edit photographs, and to seriously consider the context in which they will appear.
