Workshops have become an integral part of my work, and speaking from this experience, there is no better workshop facilitator than Veronique Sutra, the founder and director of Eyes in Progress. I have just completed my third workshop with her, this one taking place in Barcelona, Spain. What I appreciate and respect about Eyes in Progress is the consistent rigorous expectations for the participants and the follow through of Veronique’s structure, which provides high level reviews of the participants’ portfolios.

 

This year VII Photo has created a partnership with Eyes in Progress to produce four workshops in 2015, of which mine in Barcelona was the first. The next workshop in the series will be taught by Ron Haviv in Berlin, Germany from May 20th – 23rd. There are only 3 spots remaining for this opportunity. Ron is an amazing teacher and Berlin is one of the coolest cites in the world. Submit your portfolio before the final deadline of April 20th to apply.

 

To succeed as a photographer whether it’s your profession or just the love of the craft, the work needs to have the visual voice and authorship intertwined. When people say that photojournalism is over, I say no, that this is the beginning. With all the tools we have to tell stories and reach an audience wider than ever before, it is obvious we are at the start of a new golden age of photography.” Ron Haviv (LDV Vision Summit 2014 NYC)
