We are organizing a 2-day intensive Photography Master Class with the world-renowned street photographer Vineet Vohra.

Limited to just 10 participants. The participation fee is $300 per person, and $250 for FOTON Derneği members. The event will be held in Istanbul on October 4-5. The language is English.

Vineet will share his knowledge and techniques in critique sessions and on-field, one-on-one interactions with the participants. The shooting and theoretical sessions will cover the following topics:

• Do’s and Don’ts

During the workshop, the following topics will be discussed:

• Creative use of the camera and lens
• Suggestions on how to shape your photography career
• How to publish your work
• How to work on a story

On the second day of the workshop:

• Participants will present their work
• A detailed review session with Vineet will be conducted
• Each participant will have the opportunity to evaluate their own projects in detail

Throughout the 2-day workshop, the focus will generally be on the following topics:

• Working on a theme and focusing on projects.
• The art of street photography and storytelling.
• How to edit your photographs.
• Photography assignments to apply theories while walking with a mentor in Istanbul.

Participants should bring the following to the workshop:

• A digital camera, preferably with a fixed wide-angle lens (a lens with a 35mm focal length would be ideal). You can also bring your long telephoto lenses and zoom lenses for personal work.
• A laptop with software to edit/tone your photographs
• A notebook to take notes during the workshop

Note: $300 is the master class fee only. Participants are expected to pay on their own for travel (outstation and local), stay, food and other expenses that they might incur.
