As in writing, great attention will be given to composition, rythm, sequences, counterpoints. Everything will start from the public discussion and analysis of everyone’s portfolio.

To attend the workshop each participant must provide a story composed of 12 pictures, either printed or on USB key. Basic knowledge of dng/raw files and digital archiving is required.
