Magnum workshop in Brighton, 20-24 oktober 2008
The Magnum Workshop Brighton UK is a five-day practical event intended for advanced photographers wishing to proceed with the next stage of their photographic careers. Led by three Magnum photographers Carl De Keyzer, Mark Power and Donovan Wylie, this workshop is an exciting opportunity to build a new body of work under the guidance of experienced practitioners.
The event is organised in collaboration with Brighton Photo Biennale and will be held at the Centre for Research and Development at The University Of Brighton.
22 successful candidates will spend five days with all three photographers developing visual language, technical and conceptual skills and individual photographic identity. Through an intensive five days of progressive picture taking, candidates will produce an individual project under the same structure as professional assignments.
The workshop will be based at Centre for Research and Development at the University of Brighton, the location for daily reviews, group critiques, mentoring, editing sessions and opportunities to learn amongst peers.
The images produced over the week will constitute an individual body of work culminating in the production of unique, singular books designed by the participants. The process of editing and critiquing the work will be a principal part of the learning process and conducted on a daily basis. Participants will be expected to provide and receive constructive comments to and from their peers as well as obtain personal critiques from the lead photographers; this is considered an integral part of the Workshop.
