October 17th to October 21st, 2007
Work, live, and learn with world renowned documentary photographers, Philip
Jones Griffiths and Donna Ferrato. This unique workshop is designed for the
conscientious photographer who believes in using photography as a vehicle for
social awareness and change. As a team, we will explore how to push the limits
of photography. This means learning how to approach people, articulate your
ideas, and follow through with your camera. You will record your experiences
through photographs and words. In addition, we will discuss issues like ethics
and respect. During nightly debate sessions, students will learn how to plunge
into unknown, risky situations, how to be fair and sensitive with subjects, how
to walk and talk and be better photographers in the process. In order to
pinpoint our intentions as photographers, Philip and Donna will host engaging
nightly portfolio reviews. The final goal is a book about the essence of
Newark, NJ.
