Massimo Bassano, an Italian photojournalist with international publication credits, shares his secrets on how photographers become a part of the scene that they are photographing and "touch" the lives of their subjects, rather than just watching them through a lens.

Massimo teaches students how to gain knowledge of locations, become familiar with the history and social context of the people, have an open mind and be fully open to where the story takes them. Most importanty, he encourages students to remember that subjects are people first, and not just camera fodder. Students photograph independently on a daily basis in order to gain access and experience in the field.

This workshop is for experienced photographers with an interest in developing editorial projects.
