There are no available registration dates at this time.

This workshop will focus on reportage, documentary and photojournalism. The workshop begins with a presentation by Michael followed by presentations of participants work of their choosing. 

This course is taught in a seminar format, with both participants and Michael in an equally weighted extended discussion as to the possibilities of storytelling during reportage. Mornings are spent in review and critique of the previous day’s work though students are given the option to utilize the week to focus on dialogue, as Michael will ensure each participant receives sufficient one on one feedback throughout the week.

This is followed by group and individual feedback as well as a seminar discussion towards the possibilities of reportage. The remaining days are spent shooting a topic of choice in the mornings, with downloads and editing in the afternoons. Reviews and critiques of this work, both in group and individually with Michael, will come at the end of the week.
