BerlinSummerWorkshops
After a long, cold winter starts our this year's summerworkshops' season
on May 28 with
Doug DuBois'
workshop
The
Intimate Photograph.
In a bunch of more workshops our guests and us will deal with several
aspects of documentary photography, spanning a range from portraiture for
editorial publishing to art photography to collage. Please see topics and dates
of all our summerworkshops at

StrayCats too.
Not to forget a correction on
our own account, the Summerworkshop
Gegenüber – Portraitfotografie
with Göran Gnaudschun will take
7 days, not 5 days as previously announced in our
newsletter. Please accept our apologies for this oversight.
About
BerlinPhotoWorkshops is the initiative of four
Photographers, Mark Curran,
Göran Gnaudschun,
Kai-Olaf Hesse and
Peter
Oehlmann who wish to share their knowledge about photography. Through
seminars and workshops, we offer courses on various topics tightly
linked to our own interests and artistic approaches.
Our common background is documentary photography. We share an interest
in the real, in the world that surrounds us – be it on our own doorstep
or far away from our common everyday experience.
We don't require costly labs to undertake our workshops and there is no
strict curriculum. Therefore, no matter if you look for inspiration
during a weekend workshop or if you work continuously on a project over
six months, we are there as facilitators of knowledge concerning
artistic photography.
In small groups of no more than 12 participants, we offer reviews,
lectures, visits to exhibitions and talks, all related to the rotating
subject matter being offered. Nurturing your personal work, we want to
facilitate the development of your own visual language. Therefore we
encourage you to think thematically, to conceive of a ‘series’ of
photographs and thereby link content to images. In doing so, to
sensitize you towards the artistic application of photography –
fundamentally, we want nurture how you see.
BerlinPhotoWorkshops' courses are aimed at people to whom it is
important to personally communicate, through photography, something
about themselves or the world around them. Our events are enjoyed by
amateurs as well as professional photographers and people from related
professions. You will meet people who photograph intensively and
continuously for years to other individuals, who are just beginning to
explore the medium. Therefore, the spectrum spans from the technically
skilled to the intuitive, simply with a sense for images.
We look forward to meeting and welcoming you!
