Magnum photographer Bruno Barbey (*1941), known for his emotional picture language and global themes in black and white and colour photography, is one of the most accomplished and honoured photographers of our time. In particular it is the harmonious use of light and colour which are signature to Barbey’s photography. In this workshop Barbey will give a brief introduction with images giving tips to understanding light, composition and working intuitively on the street. After short portfolio reviews of everyone’s work in the group, assignments will be given to the participants. After shooting sessions in the city environment a selection of images will be given up for overnight printing. On the second day different forms of editing will be discussed. Barbey will speak further about the challenges and changes in photojournalism today.
The workshop will be held in English.
