Along with a bunch of other photojournalists, I have some work showing at the opening night of the “Reportage” festival tomorrow, at the National Art School, Paddington…
The night, with an open-air exhibition, starts at half six, and the projections start at 8… tickets available from Moshtix… come along!
I’ll also be helping Jack Picone, Stephen Dupont and David Dare Parker teach the Reportage Masterclass, from next Monday the 15th through to Saturday the 20th. It’ll be a great chance for the keen documentary photographers to get across both traditional and contemporary forms of documentary photography from some of the most experienced documentary photojournalists around. The workshop will give students a chance to shoot assignment-based traditional photo essays and multimedia stories in Sydney, with tutoring through the week from Jack, Steve and David. I’ll be helping out with the multimedia productions.
There’s still places out there, so sign up if you’re keen!
