The genre of “social documentary” is a broad one, encompassing many styles, objectives and histories. For this series of 5 in-person Advanced Skills workshops, we will consider social documentary photography as ethical and issue-based visual storytelling. Each session will involve display and dialogue around inspirational images, practical How To tips and some hands on activities, to share skills.
