<h6><span style="color: #ff0000;">Cape Cod, USA • September 29 &#8211; October 6, 2012</span></h6>
<p><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">It is in autumn, when the tourist have gone, the mist comes in from the ocean and seagull sing their songs, the air is crisp,  the light is sharp  that is when Cape Cod is at its best…and so is the light. The same light that lured so many artists, from Edward Hopper, who moved to Truro in 1944, and used it as the subjects for many of his paintings, to Hans Hoffmann, to the quiet light in Joel Meyerowitz’ photographs in the book <em>Cape Light</em>. Cape Cod has been an art colony for over a century and people like: Milton Avery, Robt Motherwell, Willem Dekooning, Red Grooms, Andy Wharhol all relished their time there. It has always attracted artists….</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c0c0c0;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Our workshop, led by John Goodman, will totally immerse in this atmosphere. We will spend our week finding inspiration out of simple everyday things: landscapes, shells on the beach, empty houses…and we will be also photographing  people in this open and timeless landscape</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c0c0c0;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c0c0c0;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c0c0c0;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">The atmosphere is magic and will lead us to look at daily life with new eyes, and find stories to tell with our camera. In this way, you will re-discover you passion for photography, find new energy and insights in your images.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c0c0c0;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">We will all stay in a small hotel, and spend the day between shooting and critique, both on individual and group sessions. And we will explore the area around us looking, catching the magic of the place.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c0c0c0;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">It will be a very intimate workshop, where we will spend a lot of time together, sharing our experiences and passion for photography and art in general.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c0c0c0;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">We will all come back with incredible memories, and strong images!</span></p>

<h6><span style="color: #ff0000;">Tuscany 2012 • July 29 &#8211; August 4</span></h6>
<h6>In 2012 we will offer two workshops with Settimio Benedusi</h6>
<p>This one, in Tuscany, on <strong>WHY</strong> to take photographs<strong> </strong></p>
<p>The second, in Sicily, on <strong>HOW</strong> to shoot a professional beauty assignment</p>
<p>Two different paths, with different goals but both born with same idea: to help you become a better photographer, from a technical and aesthetic point of view.</p>
<p>In these days where big mutations – technical and cultural – are taking place, it is absolutely normal to get “dazed and confused”, with a sense of loss, not able to find anymore (or find for the first time!) the incentive to produce something personal and original.</p>
<p>For photographers, you might start going in one direction and ending up in a total different one. During this route, you might loose the reasons that pushed you into photography on a first instance. Your vision is obstructed by the rhythm of daily life, and you loose your vision and the capacity of <em>seeing</em> things.</p>
<p>This workshop is for experienced photographers who want to go over their temporary “creativity block” and find again strong motivation in their work, and also to young photographers, who want to start a profession with clear ideas, with no stereotypes.</p>
<p>The final goal of this workshop is to have every participant produce an individual photographic project, totally concentrated on his/her vision and life.</p>
<p>During the workshop there will be models, to help you express, by photographing others, your photography</p>
<p>BIOGRAPHY</p>
<p><strong>Settimio Benedusi </strong>was born in Italy forty-six years ago. Now he lives in Milan where he runs his photographic studio.<br />
He had his first camera when he was 12 years old and from that moment he was just thinking about taking the perfect picture, using beauty, emotions and feeling.<br />
He is a professional photographer for 20 years now and travelled all over the world, working for many magazines (GQ, Max, Vogue, Cosmo, Marie Claire, Sports Illustrated and Elle…) and so many clients (Versace, Fila, Armani and Swatch…).<br />
Settimio is a beauty hunter, he looks at the subject and shoots – ‘that’s the only way for fixing moments that otherwise would be gone like tears in the rain’<br />
He also likes to write about photography on his blog  <a href="http://www.benedusi.it/blog">http://www.benedusi.it/blog</a> and on the “Corriere della Sera”, the major Italian newspaper, web site <a href="http://photobackstage.corriere.it/">http://photobackstage.corriere.it/</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.benedusi.it/">www.benedusi.it</a></p>
<p>____________________________</p>
<h6><span style="color: #ff0000;">Toscana 2012 • 29 Luglio-4 Agosto</span></h6>
<p>Nel 2012 sono proposti due workshop di Settimio Benedusi.</p>
<p>Il primo, in Sicilia, sul <strong>COME</strong> si realizza un servizio fotografico professionale.</p>
<p>Il secondo, in Toscana, sul <strong>PERCHE’</strong> si fotografa.</p>
<p>Due diversi percorsi con finalità e intenti molto diversi tra loro ma entrambi nati con il medesimo desiderio di migliorare in maniera pratica e concreta la qualità dei progetti fotografici dei partecipanti.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Listening to your Heartbeats</strong></span></span></p>
<p>In questi tempi di grandi cambiamenti, tecnici e culturali, è assolutamente normale sentirsi disorientati, non trovare più (o non trovare ancora!) gli stimoli per produrre qualcosa di intimo ed originale. A noi fotografi capita infatti spesso di partire verso una direzione e di finire poi in una completamente diversa. Durante questo processo perdiamo di vista la ragione che ci ha spinto inizialmente nel mondo della fotografia. La nostra visione viene ostacolata dalla complessità della vita quotidiana, perdendo la capacità di <em>vedere</em><strong> </strong>limitandoci<strong> </strong>solo a <em>guardare</em>. Questo workshop è rivolto sia a fotografi con una certa esperienza, che vogliono riscoprire la loro visione attraverso un progetto, ma anche a fotografi alle prime armi, che vogliono iniziare con la mente chiara e sgombra da vecchi stereotipi sul mestiere di fotografo.</p>
<p>Il fine ultimo e concreto di questo workshop è quello di far produrre un progetto fotografico ad ogni allievo, totalmente e completamente strutturato su di lui: sulle sue sensazioni, sulla sua cultura, sulla sua propria ed unica visione del mondo e della vita.</p>
<p><strong>BIOGRAFIA</strong></p>
<p><strong>Settimio Benedusi </strong>è nato in Italia quarantasei anni fa. Ora vive a Milano, dove si trova il suo studio fotografico.<br />
La sua prima macchina fotografica gli viene regalata all’età di 12 anni e da quel momento il suo obiettivo è fare la foto ‘perfetta’ cercando di usare la bellezza e le emozioni. Settimio è un fotografo professionista da oltre 20 anni, ha viaggiato in tutto il mondo scattando per tante riviste (GQ, Max, Vogue, Cosmo, Marie Claire, Sports Illustrated ed Elle…) e per innumerevoli clienti di pubblicità (Versace, Fila, Armani, Swatch…) Settimio insegue la bellezza, sempre. Inquadra il soggetto e scatta “questo è l’unico modo per immortalare i  momenti che altrimenti verrebbero persi come lacrime nella pioggia”. Settimio inoltre scrive di fotografia sul suo blog  e sul sito del “Corriere della Sera”, il più importante quotidiano italiano.</p>

<h6><span style="color: #ff0000;">Edinburgh • May 12 &#8211; 19, 2012</span></h6>
<p>Workshop members will bring a selection of no more than 20 images, preferably in a form easily projected digitally, or possibly in print form, and the first step will be a critique and discussion of their work. This will be done with myself and the whole group. On the basis of this knowledge photographers will  be sent out to work on different projects in Edinburgh. They will work digitally. It is expected that they will have done some research and have at least one idea of what they think would be interesting to work on, though it may be that they end up with another assignment given by myself.</p>
<p>The new work will be assessed and critiqued each day and the photographers will be pushed to further develop the work they are doing and to engage in a collective and personal edit of that work. As the work and week develop the work will be edited and sequenced to become part of a group book on Edinburgh.</p>
<p><strong>The emphasis is on a personal interpretation of Edinburgh. It is about you expressing yourself as an individual author. You are not making a catalogue or a tourist brochure!</strong></p>
<p>The final outcome will be a pdf file of a layout of a possible book containing work from all the participants, that I hope, everybody can be a little bit proud of.</p>
<p>The level of the participants’ experience will vary, but it will be expected that everyone has a sound understanding of the technical side of photography, in that they understand the basics of digital photography and can adjust digital files in a program such as Photoshop. This is not a technical workshop, but one that tries to help you express yourself as a photographer and develop your own eye. This is not easy.</p>
<h6><span style="color: #ff0000;">Edinburgh</span><span style="color: #c0c0c0;"> </span></h6>
<p><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">a personal note from Carlo Roberti</span></p>
<p>One of my motto is “I would like to be a student in all the workshop I organize!”.</p>
<p>Apart from Tuscany, all the other locations of our Travel Workshop are selected for different reasons: the possibility of offering a wide range of subjects, the light, the daily life…many of these locations have been chosen after your suggestions, others are personal choices. This one in particular, has been my decisio: I used t go to Edinburgh many years ago, as i was attracted by this beautiful city.</p>
<p>A couple of weeks ago (January 2012) I went back in order to scout the place again, for this workshop, after 30 years (!) and i fall in  love again with it. The atmosphere that was there years ago still exist, plus  a new spirit, new energy. Walking and photographing in the capital of Scotland is an experience you should not  miss. There are so many different aspects,of daily life that will translate into strong photographs. People are very kind, helpful. Old areas, such as Leith and the docks, have gone through deep changes, the city center is a mix of residencial areas, art galleries, shops, classy and popular restaurants and pubs</p>
<p>Cultural life is at his highest, night life is full of surprises…</p>
<p>In the first instance  I was thinking of organizing the workshop in August, during the festival. But the thoughts of thousands of people coming from all over the world, and then the problem for lodging and eating out made me choose for a better time of the year. May will be perfect. Of course, it might always rain…please read <em>The Right Attitude to Rain</em> by Alexander Mac Call Smith….and also Ian <em>Rankin’s Inspector Rebus</em> novels….It will make you run and get your ticket to Edinburgh!</p>

Apart from a trip to Bangladesh in 1973 he worked mainly in Britain in areas concerned with urban poverty and also sub-cultures.

<p>___________________________________________________________</p>
<p>I partecipanti dovranno portare con se una selezione di un massimo di 20 immagini, preferibilmente in formato digitale. oppure su stampa. Questo servirà per il primo incontro e per la critica e discussione del loro lavoro.</p>
<p>Questo sarà fatto da me insieme al gruppo. Sulla base di questo, i fotografi inizieranno a lavorare su diversi progetti su Edimburgo. Si lavorerà in digitale. Mi aspetto che i fotografi partecipanti abbiano fatto un minimo di ricerca preliminare su Edimburgo, e che abbiano almeno un’idea su un progetto che vorrebbero portare avanti,  anche se può capitare che nel corso del workshop lavorino su un progetto differente che io assegnerò.</p>
<p>Il nuovo lavoro sarà organizzato e criticato ogni giorno, e i fotografi saranno spronati a sviluppare il progetto sul quale stanno lavorando, e ad aiutarsi in gruppo e individualmente all’edit di quel lavoro. Mentre i progetti e la settimana entrano nel vivo,, il lavoro sarà editato e sequenziato per diventare un libro collettivo su Edinburgo.</p>
<p>L’enfasi è su una interpretazione personale di Edimburgo. E’ su di voi come autori personali. Non state realizzando un catalogo o una brochure per turisti…</p>
<p>Il prodotto finale sarà un file pdf del layout di un libro che contiene il lavoro di tuti voi, e spero che ognuno potrà essere orgoglioso del risultato finale.</p>
<p>Il livello dell’esperienza dei partecipanti sarà vario, ma ci aspettiamo che tutti abbiano una solida base tecnica, che conoscano le basi della fotografia digitale e che possano lavorare in un programma come Photoshp. Non sarà un workshop tecnico, ma un workshop che vuole aiutarti  a esprimerti come fotografo e a sviluppare la tua visione. Non è facile.</p>

<p>Who are you? What do you know to be true? What do you question? What are your obsessions? When I&#8217;m confronted with a person&#8217;s work, this is what intrigues me. Wether you work only with photography or combine it with text, video, music, this workshop will challenge you to go beyond the borders. To see photography as not being about photography, not about style, not confined to a category like documentary or reportage, but transcending all this. Photography as a revelation of what it means to be alive &#8211; for the photographer and the life depicted.</p>
<p>BIOGRAPHY</p>

<p>With small practical exercises and exploring the different stapes of a personal research, Laurence Leblanc will push the students to discover their inner sensitivity. A sensitivity which has strength, fragility, which can be intensified with picture or on the contrary rejected.</p>
<p>The goal is to go beyond the surface of things, to find personnel obsession, to confront our choices, our wishes, our vision to what is around us… At the end to understand our own approach, always researching sense and coherence.</p>
<p>This kind of approach demands total commitment: during the photo sessions, by letting oneself be permeated by the setting and the people, and by stubbornly searching for the right point of view and the right texture; and during the editing phase, by confronting the images with themselves, the subject and other ways of seeing.</p>
<p>Day by day they will intensify an approach that is sensitive, people-oriented and constantly in search of meaning and sensation.</p>
<h6><span style="color: #ffffff;">WORKSHOP CONTENT :</span></h6>
<ul>
<li>Presentation of Laurence’s own work.</li>
<li>Presentation of participants’ portfolio.</li>
<li>Individual interviews and definition of personal projects.</li>

Nurtured by a deep knowledge of photography and the understanding of its history, she deliberately avoids scattering away her curiosity from topics of interest, broadening instead her approach in the producing of her images. Her strongest ally is time, the one given to observe and to mature. A member of both the VU gallery and agency in Paris, she regularly publishes and exhibits her work.</em></p>
<p><em>From her first explorations in Cambodia to her work on « lost objects », art critics who have written about her images, use a wide array of adjectives as they attempt without ever completely succeeding to give shape her style: </em><em>dispelling, impressionistic, delicate, discreet, melancholic, vibrating, dreamlike…Yet, if any of these qualifiers are able to somewhat define her subtle attempts and the inner turmoil her photographs provoke, they also bring confusion.</em></p>
<p><em>She is, in the world of photography a rare example of restraint, humility and self-control. For her, the act of taking a picture grows from gradual impregnation with the subject and his or her environment. The resulting pictures are often a carefully thought-out, precise, and elaborate developments. Particularly sensitive to the violence in the world and to the chaos of destinies, she rids herself of all documentary curiosity in order to focus deeply on what is not visible: the muteness of an ancient pain, the texture of an absent look.</em></p>
<p><em>Commenting on portraits of hers, Cambodian filmmaker Rithy Panh wrote: “Her pictures look like souls…their fuzzyness is not fuzzy, their grainy appearance is not grain, life is not exactly life. Yet it is not death either.  I like being led on this narrow territory between the two.”</em></p>
<p><em>By tightening the flux of primary emotions and rejecting today’s urge for “hyper-speed”, she concentrates on taking pictures of the traces of events, of landscapes, of faces that linger within her.</em></p>

<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">BIOGRAPHY</span></p>
<p>Born in Paris, France, in 1967, Laurence Leblanc studied drawing, painting,</p>
<p>and gravure as a child at the Musée du Louvre’s Ecole des arts décoratifs (School of decorative arts). Self-taught as s a photographer, she began working in 1994 for a not-for-profit organization involved in helping the homeless in the French capital. She covered an international one-month tour in Asia by British singer-performer Peter Gabriel for whom she would work with for two years.</p>
<p>Very early on, she was attracted by the issue of childhood that led her to an in-depth reflection on the topics of time, identity and memory that her hazy and dreamlike pictures from Cambodia would express. She extended her visual investigation on the same theme in other parts of the world (Brazil, Cuba, Congo, Niger, Sierra Leone, Somalia, etc.).</p>
<p>She has won prestigious awards such as the Villa Médicis “Hors des murs” scholarship in 2000, and the HSBC Foundation prize in photography in 2003.</p>
<p>In 2009, her exhibition “Seul l’air” (Only Air) consisting of work from Africa was presented at the 40<sup>th</sup> International Photography Festival in Arles (France).</p>
<p>Her photographs are part of many private and museum collections including that of the prestigious National Trust for Contemporary Art, in France.</p>
<p>Laurence Leblanc is represented by the “VU” Agency in Paris.</p>

<p>Shooting nudes and capturing beauty is more than taking a beautiful picture of a person. It is reaching inside that person to capture their essence. In doing so you must combine that with the right light, and the correct ambience.</p>

<p>You will learn how to work with models, create a rapport and make them, (and you) feel comfortable.</p>
<p>We will discuss, developing a style, the latest digital technologies, for shooting and printing your work, as well as publishing and marketing your images.</p>
<p>What will be covered:</p>
<p>-         How to light for beauty and the nude</p>
<p>-         Developing your style</p>
<p>-         Using lighting to create mood and drama</p>
<p>-           Natural light, studio strobes, hotlights</p>
<p>-          How to use simple lighting found around your location</p>
<p>-         How to feel confident with studio equipment</p>
<p>-         Making your model comfortable</p>
<p>-         Making yourself confident with the model</p>
<p>-         Marketing, publishing and promoting your work</p>

<h6><span style="color: #e22607;">Bangkok, Thailand, February 25/March 3,  2012</span></h6>
<p>Bangkok is the ideal base for discovering the innumerable faces of contemporary Asia. It is a very modern capital and pleasant city to live in, but it also remains deeply immersed in the eastern culture, Buddhist spirituality, and regional politics.</p>
<p>All of the aspects that made this city famous are still here: a national spirit that has never been broken by colonial domination, the artistic grandeur of golden temples and sacred places are experienced intensely, the nightlife that challenges the imagination and goes well beyond the expected, and the nature, both on the coasts and inland, that is so famous it doesn’t need a description.</p>
<p>The site of the TPW Orient will be a hotel in the historic heart of the city, in the center of lively situations both day and night, but it is also self-contained in a sort of green oasis that guarantees the necessary tranquility for synthesizing the richness of the images captured in the metropolis. The hotel is easily accessible at any moment and reachable within a few minutes.</p>
<p>It is also easy to reach a variety of interesting countries from Bangkok that are at the center of the most dynamic contemporary evolution, from China to India and including the entire southeast Asia. At the same time, it is easy to constantly receive influences from these regions. This location is certainly one that offers the most ideas, stimuli and technological support in the world.</p>
<p><strong>PRACTICAL INFORMATION</strong><br />

<h6><strong><span style="color: #e22607;">Bangkok, Tailandia, 25 Febbraio &#8211; 03 Marzo, 2012<br />
</span></strong></h6>
<p>Bangkok è la base ideale per scoprire gli innumerevoli volti dell’Asia contemporanea. E’ una capitale modernissima, una città piacevole da vivere, ma resta profondamente immersa nella cultura orientale, nella spiritualità buddista, nella politica regionale.</p>
<p>Gli aspetti che l’hanno resa famosa sono ancora tutti qui. Uno spirito nazionale mai piegato da dominazioni coloniali. La grandiosità artistica di templi dorati e luoghi sacri vissuti intensamente. La vita notturna che sfida la fantasia e riesce ad andare bel oltre l’ovvio. Una natura, sia sul mare che nell’interno, tanto famosa da non necessitare descrizioni.</p>
<p>La sede del TPW Orient sarà un albergo nel cuore storico della città, nel centro di situazioni vivaci giorno e notte, ma in una sorta di oasi verde da garantire quella tranquillità necessaria a sintetizzare la ricchezza di situazioni catturate nella metropoli. Che resta accessibile in ogni momento e in pochi minuti.</p>
<p>Da Bangkok poi è facilissimo raggiungere un mosaico di paesi interessanti, al centro dell’evoluzione contemporanea più dinamica: dalla Cina fino all’India includendo l’intero sud est asiatico. E, viceversa, ricevere costantemente influenze da queste regioni.</p>
<p>Certamente una location che non potrebbe offrire più spunti, stimoli e supporto tecnologico al mondo.</p>
<p><strong>INFORMAZIONI PRATICHE</strong></p>
<p>Date: <strong> 25 Febbraio &#8211; 03 Marzo , 2012</strong><br />
Location: Bangkok-Tailandia<br />

Costi del Workshops: € 960 per settimana Include la tariffa workshop e due cene comuni.</p>
<p>Pernottamento e Pasti: abbiamo riservato un numero di camere preso un piccolo hotel nel centro di Bangkok. I prezzi variano a seconda del tipo di stanza e numero di occupanti…Mediamente € 50 per notte con colazione. Una volta confermata la partecipazione, vi confermeremo la prenotazione della camera e potrete saldare direttamente l’hotel. I pasti, a parte le due cene comprese nel fee, sono indipendenti e  e pagate individualmente. Mangiare a Bangkok è un’esperienza unica, la cucina locale è una delle più raffinate al mondo , e i costi sono molto contenuti!. Comunque, secondo l’esperienza di altri workshop, finiremo col trovare insieme nuovi ristoranti ogni sera….<br />

<h6><span style="color: #ff0000;">Venice Italy •  March 24-31, 2012</span></h6>
<p><span style="color: #e2e2e2;">The idea of photographing Venice could seem a bit cliché to some. Surely one of the most photographed cities in the world has been sufficiently covered by now in all its seasons, shades and nuances.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #e2e2e2;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #e2e2e2;">But as usual we like challenges and we are offering this workshop to discover an unseen dimension of Venice.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #e2e2e2;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #e2e2e2;">First of all, we are purposely avoiding the Carnival season, which, in our opinion, is too crowded.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #e2e2e2;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #e2e2e2;">We are instead choosing a particular time of the year, where the light of winter is still present, but is yielding to the new light of spring.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #e2e2e2;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #e2e2e2;">The title of the workshop suggest a particular vision: you will be shooting a lot during the day, but it is at night time that the city enter another dimension, with strong emotions: light, people, places…everything assumes a different dimension.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #e2e2e2;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #e2e2e2;">We will experience firsthand this contrast, and the experience of getting lost in the labyrinth of street and walkways, creating our own routes, from one place to another, and getting lost only to reconnect with our path and reaching our final destination.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #e2e2e2;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #e2e2e2;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #e2e2e2;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #e2e2e2;">Day/night, and also, water/land …walking through small alleys and wide open piazzas, and all the while, having the water as a point of reference…or the other way around, navigate on the channels, and look at the land, in a continuous game of light and reflections</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #e2e2e2;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #e2e2e2;">Students will learn how to move beyond stereotypes and reach the “Venetian state of mind” with their eyes, emotions, and sensations.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #e2e2e2;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #e2e2e2;">There will be daily critiques, groups and individual, too verify the status of your work.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #e2e2e2;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #e2e2e2;">For this special workshop, we decided to work with a special photographer, Christopher Morris</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #e2e2e2;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #e2e2e2;">Christopher will teach you how to develop a personal style. Photographing Venice, it is very easy to fall in the clichés…the challenge will be to produce images not only about he place and the people you will meet, but also about yourself.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #e2e2e2;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #e2e2e2;">In 25 years of photography, Christopher has gone through different genders of photography, from war-photography, to the White House photography, to portraiture and recently to fashion and personal research – always keeping a strong personal style.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #e2e2e2;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #e2e2e2;">During the workshop Christopher will also talk about careers and the use of a powerful post-production</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #e2e2e2;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #e2e2e2;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #e2e2e2;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #d21e4b;">BIOGRAPHY</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #e2e2e2;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #e2e2e2;">Christopher Morris (born California 1958) is an American photojournalist, best known for his war photographs.<br />
Most of Morris’ work has concentrated on war. Some of the wars he photographed were the US invasion of Iraq, the drug war in Colombia, the Persian Gulf War, the wars in Afghanistan, Somalia, Yugoslavia, and Chechnya − more than 18 foreign conflicts. He documented the presidency of George W. Bush for Time, and is a founding member of the VII Photo Agency.<br />
In recent years, Morris has worked on his monograph, My America that was published in 2006. My America was produced while on assignment for TIME magazine covering U.S. President George W. Bush. Morris describes My America as his personal journey into a Republican America. Through portraits and landscapes, Morris hopes that the viewer “sees what he saw and feels what he felt – a nation that has wrapped its eyes so tightly in red, white, and blue that it has gone blind.”<br />
Morris has received a multitude of awards for his work, including the Robert Capa Gold Medal award, The Olivier Rebbot award and the Feature Photography award from the Overseas Press Club; the Magazine Photographer of the Year award from the University of Missouri School of Journalism; Two Infinity Photojournalist awards from the International Center of Photography, New York; the Visa d’Or award; and numerous World Press Photo Awards.</span></p>

<h6><span style="color: #ff1414;">Venezia  • 24-31 Marzo 2012</span></h6>
<p><span style="color: #f1f1f1;">L’idea di un workshop a Venezia può sembrare in un primo momento scontata. Sicuramente è la città più fotografata del mondo, sembra che tutto sia gia stato fotografato da tutti, in tutti i modi e tutte le stagioni…</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #f1f1f1;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #f1f1f1;">Ma come sempre amiamo le sfide, e proponiamo questo workshop per cercare un nuovo approccio per fotografare Venezia.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #f1f1f1;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #f1f1f1;">Innanzitutto, abbiamo volutamente evitato il periodo del Carnevale, troppo chiassoso, e scelto un momento dell’anno particolare, dove la luce dell’inverno è ancora presente,  ma lascia il posto a quella della primavera.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #f1f1f1;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #f1f1f1;">Il titolo stesso del workshop  suggerisce una visione particolare, doppia: naturalmente si fotograferà molto di giorno&#8230;ma è di notte che la città si trasforma e ci regala forti emozioni,  non solo per le luci, ma per la gente e i ritmi della notte.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #f1f1f1;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #f1f1f1;">Venezia offre una grande diversità tra le cose viste di giorno e di notte: piazza San Marco, l’emblema della città, cambia completamente quando scende la sera e lentamente si svuota.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #f1f1f1;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #f1f1f1;">Potremo verificare il contrasto tra la realtà diurna e quella notturna, smarrirci nei labirinti di terra della città, creare percorsi nostri per attraversare la città, e lungo la strada perderci per poi recuperare la meta prefissa.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #f1f1f1;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #f1f1f1;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #f1f1f1;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #f1f1f1;">Come scrivono Guido Fuga e Lele Vianello nell’introduzione all’eccellente guida “Corto Sconto” che raccomandiamo di legger prima di questo workshop, “..<em>si potrà fare, insomma, come l’acqua, che visita ogni vicolo segreto e ne esce poi</em>..”</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #f1f1f1;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #f1f1f1;">Altro aspetto duplice di Venezia, oltre a giorno/notte, è quello di acqua/terra: camminare avendo sempre l’acqua come punto di riferimento, navigare lungo i canali e osservare la terra ferma, in un gioco continuo di rimandi e specchi.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #f1f1f1;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #f1f1f1;">Imparerete presto ad abbandonare gli stereotipi, a interpretare il sogno veneziano con i vostri occhi, le vostre emozioni e sensazioni.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #f1f1f1;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #f1f1f1;">Ogni giorno ci saranno critiche di gruppo e individuali, per verificare verso quale direzione indirizzare il proprio lavoro: gente, luoghi, sensazioni…</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #f1f1f1;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #f1f1f1;"><strong> </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #f1f1f1;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #f1f1f1;">Per questo workshop particolare, abbiamo scelto di lavorare con un fotografo speciale,  Christopher Morris…</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #f1f1f1;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #f1f1f1;">Christopher vi insegnerà a sviluppare uno stile particolare. Con Venezia, è facile cadere nel banale…la sfida sarà quella di produrre immagini che parlino di voi stessi e al momento stesso del luogo in cui siete e le persone che incontrate. Chris è riuscito, negli ultimi 25 anni di carriera, a passare attraverso diversi aspetti della fotografia &#8211; guerra, ritratto, moda, ricerca personale – mantenendo intatta la sua coerenza visiva. Durante il workshop si tratteranno anche temi legati alla post-produzione e future carriere nel mondo della fotografia</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #f1f1f1;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #f1f1f1;"><strong> </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #f1f1f1;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #d42853;"><strong>BIOGRAFIA</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #f1f1f1;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #f1f1f1;">Christopher Morris, (California, 1958) è un fotogiornalista americano, conosciuto per le due fotografie di conflitti. La maggior parte del lavoro di Morris è concentrata sulle guerre: l’invasione USA di Iraq, la guerra sulla droga in Colombia, la guerra del Golfo, Afghanistan, Somalia Yugoslavia, Cecenia…</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #f1f1f1;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #f1f1f1;">Ha fotografato il presidente Gorge W.Bush per Time, e ed è uno dei membri fondatori dell’agenzia VII.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #f1f1f1;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #f1f1f1;">Recentemente lavora su progetti personali con i grandi stilisti di moda.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #f1f1f1;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #f1f1f1;">Ha pubblicato la monografia My America, pubblicata nel 2006, prodotto mentre era on assignment per TIME magazine.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #f1f1f1;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #f1f1f1;">Ha ricevuto prestigiosi premi: the Robert Capa Gold Medal, The Olivier Rebbot e il Feature Photography award da l’ Overseas Press Club; Magazine Photographer of the Year da University of Missouri School of Journalism; due  Infinity Photojournalist awards da  the International Center of Photography, New York; the Visa d’Or a Perpignan; e numerosi World Press Photo Awards.</span></p>

<h6><span style="color: #de200b;">Cortona, 22 Luglio 2011</span></h6>
<p>In questo incontro vedremo come prepararsi adeguatamente alla fotografia di viaggio, sfruttando al meglio tutto quanto ci offre la tecnologia digitale. Parleremo di quali attrezzature usare, quali computer sono i più adatti alla vita da globe-trotter, capiremo quali sono i software più adatti a gestire velocemente e soprattutto efficacemente il workflow fuori dalle mura domestiche, quali hard disk (non sono tutti uguali!) sono i più adatti, parleremo di tutta una serie di tools che non dobbiamo mai dimenticare a casa, nonché di tanti altri piccoli accorgimenti ed accessori che ci renderanno la lontananza dalla &#8220;civiltà tecnologica&#8221; molto più sicura&#8230;<br />
In fine, getteremo lo sguardo su tutte le tecnologie che ci permettono di pianificare con molta precisione il nostro viaggio ancor prima di essere sul luogo, minimizzando i rischi e le brutte sorprese del digital lifestyle&#8230;..</p>
<h6><span style="color: #eb2413;">Cortona, July 22, 2011</span></h6>
<p>In this meeting we&#8217;ll discuss how to get ready for &#8220;on location&#8221; photography, taking advantage of digital technology. We&#8217;ll see what gear to use, which one is the best computer for globetrotters, we&#8217;ll focus on different software analyzing the differences, so we will with hard disks (they are not the same!), we will talk about many tools we should never forget home, and we will touch many other tips and tricks that will make our travel much more safe (in terms of digital life)&#8230;<br />
Finally, we&#8217;ll see the technologies allowing to plan with great precision our travels way before being on site, minimizing digital lifestyle&#8217;s risks and surprises&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #be0e03;"><strong>Il Mio Viaggio</strong></span></p>
<p>Siete viaggiatori e amanti della fotografia? National Geographic Italia Toscana Photographic Workshops e FNAC vi offrono l’opportunità di pubblicare i vostri reportage sul nostro sito, e di vederli esibiti in mostra al festival internazionale della fotografia di viaggio Cortona on the Move.</p>
<p>Realizzare un reportage di viaggio non significa semplicemente scattare le foto delle vostre vacanze, o dei luoghi che avete visitato. L’obiettivo, in questo caso, è raccontare una storia per immagini che colgano lo spirito di un luogo: un evento, un popolo, una città, un itinerario, ma anche la geografia di una regione, i comportamenti degli animali che la abitano, o magari la storia di una persona che avete conosciuto, di una famiglia, di un mestiere caratteristico… La scelta del tema sta a voi. L’importante è mettere assieme una serie di immagini coerente da un punto di vista concettuale e stilistico, che segua il filo di un racconto. Niente “cartoline” di luoghi famosi, quindi, o immagini slegate tra loro che non raccontano nulla di nuovo e, soprattutto, non trasmettano emozioni.</p>
<p>Per partecipare all’iniziativa dovete inviare un reportage composto da un minimo di 15 e un massimo di 20 fotografie all’indirizzo lavostrafoto@nationalgeographic. it. Le immagini dovranno essere inviate in formato jpg a 72 dpi, 600 pixel di lato lungo. Ma attenzione: nel caso veniate selezionati dovrete avere a disposizione file ad alta risoluzione per la stampa: 300 dpi e almeno 50 centimetri di lato lungo. I migliori reportage verranno pubblicati sul sito nationalgeographic.it, mentre uno solo, selezionato da un pool di esperti, verrà esposto al Festival Internazionale della fotografia di viaggio <strong>Cortona on the Move</strong> a Cortona (AR) dal 21 luglio al 4 settembre 2011</p>
<p>__________________________________________________</p>
<p><span style="color: #be0e03;"><strong>Il Mio Viaggio</strong></span></p>
<p>Are you a serious traveller and passionate about photography? National Geographic Italy, Toscana Photographic Workshop and FNAC offer you the possibility of publishing your reportage on National Geographic Italy website, and to see it exhibited during <strong>Cortona on the Move</strong>, international photography festival that will be held in Cortona at the end of July</p>
<p>Producing reportage on travel is not about shooting your holiday’s trip, or places you have been visiting. The real focus is to tell a story though images, to get the spirit of a place: its people, cities, events, itineraries…but also its geography, animal behaviour…or a story of a person, a family, a group…</p>
<p>The choice of the theme is up to you. What is important is to assemble a group of images which, stylistically and technically, will follow a precise path. No “postcards” of famous places or images not tied in a narrative thread, with no emotions to communicate</p>
<p>To be part of this project, please send your reportage with a number of images between 15 and 20 at</p>
<p><a href="mailto:lavostrafoto@nationalgeographic.it">lavostrafoto@nationalgeographic.it</a></p>
<p>Format specifications</p>
<p>-      jpg</p>
<p>-      -72 dpi</p>
<p>-      -long size 600 pixel</p>
<p><strong>PLEASE NOTE</strong>: in case your work gets selected for the exhibit at Cortona Festival, you will need to have the high-resolution files of the photographs you submitted.</p>
<p>The best reportage will be published on National Geographic Italy website. nationalgeographic.it</p>
<p>Only one reportage, selected by a pool of experts, will be on show at the festival <strong>Cortona on the Move</strong></p>

<p><em>&#8220;</em><em> Borders have a bad reputation and most are generally badly perceived. Border goes with the idea of barriers, and conflicts: a critical spot of confrontation referring to a separation between men. In the living world, opposition between an inside and an outside is essential. We could say that every living being needs an “inside” and an “outside” that stimulates and intensify the “inside”. So, the border it’s something very ambiguous and ambivalent and one would always need to consider to show both sides…&#8221; Régis Debray (courtesy of Reflexions Masterclass)</em><em> </em></p>
<p>Non considero il mio lavoro come fotogiornalismo puro, ma piuttosto come una fotografia che parte dalla realtà per raccontare la mia esperienza di essa.</p>
<p>Quali sono i confini tra reportage e racconto intimo, tra documentare e trovare una propria visione? Come può uno strumento come la macchina fotografica, che di per sè impone una distanza, diventare invece uno strumento di relazione, di vicinanza?</p>
<p>Il mio percorso come fotografa è iniziato alcuni anni fa, non molti veramente,  e quasi per caso, da un’intuizione: che la fotografia potesse essere per me il modo per incanalare le mie inquietudini e la mia curiosità, il mio bisogno di vedere e conoscere persone e situazioni che non avrei conosciuto altrimenti, ma che per qualche ragione, sento vicine.</p>
<p>Sin dall’inizio la mia ricerca si è indirizzata sulla condizione delle donne, in particolare sulla violenza e il disagio, in Italia prima, con un lungo lavoro sui disturbi alimentari, e ora in zone di conflitto.  Non è stata una scelta, è successo. Mi è successo di arrabbiarmi per la condizione di fragilità in cui spesso vivono le donne e per il loro essere, loro malgrado, territorio delle più diverse battaglie.</p>
<p>Nel workshop parleremo di quale direzione prendere nel multiforme mondo della fotografia di oggi, di come trovare un tema appropriato per ciascuno, di cos&#8217;è un progetto a lungo termine, di come portarlo avanti e di come trovare fondi per proseguirlo, di quali canali poi siano i migliori per renderlo pubblico (giornali, gallerie, contenuti multimediali).</p>
<p>Parleremo dei vostri lavori e dei miei, di come lavorare anche su assignement cercando di non perdere il proprio stile e la propria visone, di quali sono i primi passi da muovere in questo meraviglioso e complicatissimo mondo. Troveremo un tema per la settimana, che potrà spaziare dal reportage alla ricerca personale, che decideremo assieme e verrà declinato da ciascuno a modo suo, discuteremo dei risultati e proveremo a creare un prodotto finale collettivo.</p>

She went on to gain an MA in the history of photography from the University of Bologna in 2007, with a thesis on the history of psychiatric photography.</p>

<p align="justify">The word photography means so many different things depending on             time, the social situation, the public and specially who is  behind the             camera.             I believe the only approach to your reality is to illuminate  it through yourself so whatever you take pictures of it has to be as  close as self-portraits.             That kind of platform is never riskless, but              absolutely stimulating. And I want you to have fun, having a  good time             not just looking for the Good picture but the believable  picture             showing yourself.             To capture things and entering new rooms in your             personality that seem to be valid the way you se them.            During this workshop I have only the simple wish that you get  close to             yourself, naked and vulnerable, when meeting people, being  surprised by the unpredictable.</p>
<p>We will work everyday with assignments  showing contacts but in the             beginning I&#8217;m looking forward to see your personal portfolios. And of             course I&#8217;m showing pictures myself.            One week of personal photography. Workshop in simple English. Prepare             yourself; please be koko and thoroughly rested.<br />
<strong><br />
</strong></p>
<address><strong> &#8220;Anders Petersen</strong> has been involved in Swedish photography since the late                                  60&#8217;s. He is one of its central figures, and no one else has made a               stronger impact     on a younger generation. Yet, he hardly gives the             impression of being a father figure. If anything, he is the eternal             boy, traveling through an alien wonderland with its secret love             encounters and bewildering adult conflicts. His pictures of the world             out there somehow seem to be taken in a state of permanent amazement.             &#8220;Is this what it looks like&#8221;, he seems to utter as he points his camera              at lovers in the night and at people in the street — or at inmates in             Swedish prisons and patrons in a Hamburg bar.</address>
<address>His pictures are intimate, and yet they disclose no all too unpleasant                details concerning the people involved. The photographs are taken by               the subjects&#8217; consent and with a probing, somewhat detached eye. In the               world of Anders Petersen, all things remain incomprehensible and               strange — while still indecently enticing.</address>
<address>One of the secrets in Anders Petersen&#8217;s photography is his indication             of a possible route of escape, a kind of alternative movement through             the city, which could lead to a different story. A woman&#8217;s gaze into             the camera turns into an unsettling invitation, often of the forbidden             kind.&#8221;</address>
<p>So writes Peder Alton, a Swedish art critic.</p>
<p><strong> Anders Petersen</strong></p>
<div id="apDiv8">Anders Petersen was born 1944 in Stockholm, Sweden.</p>
<p>14 years old his family moved to Karlstad in Värmland, where he met the artists  Karin Bodland and Lars Sjögren.</p>
<p>In 1961 he stayed for some time in Hamburg in order to learn German  and trying to write and paint. He didn&#8217;t take any pictures.</p>
<p>Five years later he met Christer Strömholm and became a student at  his School of Photography in Stockholm. Strömholm was not just his  teacher but also a close friend. Their friendship influenced him for  life.</p>
<p>In 1967 he starts photographing a bar called Café Lehmitz in Hamburg,  close to Zeughausmarkt. He was photographing there for a period of  almost three years and in 1970 he had his first soloexhibition over the  bar in Café Lehmitz with 350 photographs nailed to the wall.</p>
<p>In 1973 he published his first book &#8220;Gröna Lund&#8221;, about people in an  amusementpark in Stockholm. In 1974 he graduated from the Swedish  Filmschool,Dramatiska Institutet, in Stockholm. In 1978 he published  &#8220;Café Lehmitz &#8221; in Germany.</p>
<p>In 1984 the first book in a trilogy about locked instituations was  published. The three books were about people in a prison, a nursing  house, and a mental hospital. After photographing the mental hospital  for three years he oriented himself towards a more free approach in a  kind of diarylike photography.</p>
<p>During 2003 and 2004 Anders Petersen was appointed Professor of  Photography in the School of Photography and Film at the University of  Göteborg, Sweden. He regularly has workshops and exhibitions throughout  Europe, Asia and in the USA. He has received numerous grants and rewards  since the seventies.</p>
<p>In 2003 Anders Petersen was elected the &#8220;Photographer of the Year&#8221; by the International Photofestival in Arles.</p>
<p>In 2006 he was shortlisted as one of four for the &#8220;Deutsche Börse Photography Prize&#8221;.</p>
<p>In 2007 he received the &#8220;Special Prize of the Jury&#8221; for his  exhibition &#8220;Exaltation of Humanity&#8221; by the third International  Photofestival in Lianzhou, China.</p>
<p>In 2008 he received the &#8220;Dr. Erich Salomon Award&#8221; by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Photographie, Germany.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Arles Contemporary Book Award for 2009&#8243;  went to JH Engström and    Anders Petersen&#8217;s collaborative book &#8220;From Back Home&#8221; by Max  Ström. The book was nominated to &#8220;The Best Photographic Book in Sweden,    year 2009&#8243; and also Winner of Design Bronze Lion in Cannes.</p>
<p>In 2010,  he was in the jury for the BMW Prize at Paris Photo.</p></div>

<p align="justify"><span style="color: #d73212;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">___________________________________________________________</span></span></p>
<p align="justify">
<p align="justify">La parola fotografia può assumere diversi significati a seconda del  tempo, della situazione sociale, dal pubblico e specialmente da chi è  dietro la macchina fotografica.</p>
<p>Credo che l’unico approccio alla propria realtà sia di illuminarla  attraverso se stessi in modo che, qualunque sia il soggetto delle  proprie foto, deve avvicinarsi il più possibile ad un autoritratto.  Questo approccio non è sempre indolore e senza rischi, ma è totalmente  stimolante. E voglio che vi divertiate e siate a vostro agio, ricercando  non solo la Foto Perfetta, ma quella che sia onesta e riveli voi  stessi. Voglio che catturiate le cose ed entriate in nuove stanze della  vostra personalità che mostrino come voi vedete queste cose.<br />
Durante questo workshop ho il semplice desiderio che vi avviciniate a  voi stessi &#8211; nudi e vulnerabili &#8211; quando incontrate gli altri, e che vi  lasciate sorprendere dall’inaspettato.<br />
Lavoreremo ogni giorno su dei progetti, ma vorrei vedere subito i vostri  portfolio, e naturalmente vi mostrerò il mio lavoro. Sarà una settimana  di fotografia personale. Preparatevi e rilassatevi.</p>
<p>“Anders Petersen è una figura centrale nel mondo della fotografia  svedese dalla fine degli anni 60. Nessun altro ha avuto un impatto così  forte sulla generazione successiva.. Tuttavia, non dà l’impressione  paterna. Sembra l’eterno ragazzo, che viaggia in paese delle meraviglie  alieno con i suoi incontri amorosi segreti e struggenti conflitti da  adulto. Le sue fotografie del mondo sembrano fatte in uno stato di  continuo stupore. “E’ quello che sembra” pare mormorare mentre punta la  macchina fotografica agli amanti notturni e alla gente della strada – o  ai detenuti di una prigione svedese e ai frequentatori di un bar di  Amburgo.</p>
<p>Le sue foto sono intime, tuttavia non mostrando dettagli spiacevoli.  Delle persone coinvolte. Le foto sono fatte con il permesso del soggetto  e con un occhio distaccato. Nel mondo di Anders Petersen, tutto rimane  incomprensibile e strano, e tuttavia indecentemente seducente. Uno dei  segreti della sua fotografia è che mostra una possibile via di fuga, un  movimento alternativo attraverso la città, che può portare ad una storia  differente. Lo sguardo di una donna all’obbiettivo diventa un incerto  invito, spesso del tipo proibito…” Peter Alton, crico svedese.</p>
<p>Il primo libro di Anders Petersen, Café Lehimitz, che rappresenta la  vita di un Bar di Amburgo, fu pubblicato in Germania nel 1978. Da allora  ha pubblicato altri 22 libri.</p>

<h6><span style="color: #ae1122;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Tuscany 2012 •  July 24 &#8211; 28<br />
</span></span></h6>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">The workshop will address the issues of contemporary documentary photographic practice and approaches, taking a deeper look at the long-term project in photography. The aim is to build up an understanding of different forms of narratives and different ways of structuring work according to the final mode of presentation, be it a book, an exhibition, multimedia or magazine feature.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">We will discuss how ideas and concepts are crucial to the development of the documentary project, how to identify themes, motifs and issues that address and question the societies we live in, on both the local and global level.<br />
Participants will bring completed and in progress projects so we can begin to look and deconstruct the photography and the participants working methodology. This will involve a detailed look at the editing process. To illustrate this I will show my own working method and project evolution as well as other peoples projects.<br />
Besides discussing the projects the participants have already produced or are working on, everyone will identify and produce a short narrative through sequence, combination, or juxtaposition during the workshop. . The work performed at the workshop will act as a starting place for participants to identify and develop a critical perspective on creating original long term projects that can be developed beyond the workshop.</span></p>
<p>BIOGRAPHY</p>

<p><span style="color: #bbb4b5;">Memorable images of the landscape are created from a delightful and precious dance between what you see, how you think, and what you feel.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #bbb4b5;">&#8220;A Natural Eye&#8221; strives to develop your eye first, and then bring the technical skills of photography to it. The workshop is designed to push your seeing from what’s right in front of our eyes into the world of abstractions, reflections, layers, movement, and then deeper into the realm of concepts and imagination.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #bbb4b5;">During the week, outdoor experiences in local natural areas take you through important steps to enriching your photographs of the natural world as you find yourself focused less on objects and things, and more on the magic of moments and the essence of places. You stop chasing the light and learn to enjoy the fine art of wandering. You visit the same place in different light and different weather, getting to know it, and hence seeing it with new eyes. You learn that if you hear more and touch more, you will photograph with more sensitivity. You are rewarded by the skills of patience, solitude and emptying. This workshop weaves together eye-opening outdoor experiences, technical lessons, image reviews, and Eddie’s one-on-one meetings with each participant.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #bbb4b5;">This workshop is open to all photographers with a working knowledge of their camera. If you wish to participate in image reviews, you will need to bring a laptop and a working knowledge of the digital workflow. This would include the ability to download your images to your laptop, make selections, and prepare them for projection from the class laptop.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #bbb4b5;">BIOGRAPHY<br />
Eddie Soloway’s photographs are the expression of his passion and commitment to the natural world. His eye has developed during a lifetime of exploring the earth’s wild places. Former positions in educational workshop design, wilderness program development, and custom fine photographic printing have further honed his expertise. In 1998, Eddie was the first recipient of the Excellence in Photographic Teaching Award presented by the Santa Fe Center for Photography. Today he divides his time between making fine-art prints, teaching, speaking on creativity and the photographic life, and furthering photographic publishing projects. His first book, One Thousand Moons, was published in the summer of 2004, and the DVD, A Natural Eye Workshop was released in December 2009. An impassioned teacher, Eddie brings experiences in both nature and photography to his workshops.</span></p>

<h6><span style="color: #d01505;">Siena, Italy  June 28/July 3<br />
</span></h6>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">Palio di Siena (The Palio of Siena)</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">This workshop will take place during the famous “Palio” of Siena in July. It’s not easy to describe what the Palio of Siena is, and a workshop on this subject is equally complicated…! But let’s try.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">The Palio of Siena is the most ancient horse race (and here is the first error because it is much more than just a race) in the world… it began in 1644…</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">Of all the popular manifestations that have remained in the world, the Palio of Siena is one of the truest, most passionately-lived, and most influential on social life: it is not folkloristic, and it is not for tourists. It is quite the opposite…</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">It is the fruit of life for the <em>contrada </em>(a “clan”, “community”, or “neighborhood” within Siena) that takes place all year long and has been going on for more than 400 years.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">There are 10 horses with riders (and the rule is that it is the horse that wins the race, with or without its rider) that represent different <em>contrade</em>. They must complete three laps around the perimeter of the spectacular Piazza del Campo and the first to finish wins the race. Three minutes. This is the short version of the story.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">The long version is infinite. On Google there are 2,570,000 results….</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">We need to begin by speaking about the 17 different <em>contrade </em>that divide the territory of the city of Siena. Then, there is the passion of the people of Siena for the Palio, which is their life. Finally, there are the “fantini” (riders), <em>berberi, capitani, cavalli scossi, mossa, berci, canape; Casato, cencio….</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">The only thing that everyone agrees on is that, in order to enjoy the energy of the Palio to its maximum degree, you must experience it for the entire four days that it goes on, following a <em>contrada</em>, if possible, and having a “contradaiolo” (a member of the contrada) as your guide. You should stay with the <em>contrada</em> until the day of the Palio and celebrate the victory with them, or suffer the defeat, or even worse, suffer the victory of the <em>contrada</em>’s adversary…!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">If you don’t come from Siena, or you don’t have friends that are loyal to a particular <em>contrada</em>, choose one to your liking, because you like the name: there are many to choose from and any of them will be fine.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;"><strong>Nicchio (Seashell), Valdimontone (Ram), Leocorno (Unicorn), Civetta (Owl), Torre (Tower), Onda (Wave), Chiocciola (Snail), Tartuca (Turtle), Aquila (Eagle), Pantera (Pantheress), Selva (Forrest), Drago (Dragon), Bruco (Caterpillar), Giraffa (Giraffe), Oca (Goose), Lupa (She-wolf), Istrice (Porcupine). </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">In the days preceding the Palio, there are two trials a day, one in the morning and one in the evening. You will have the whole day available to “live the life of the contrada”, to get to know the people around you, and in the evening, to eat dinner in the streets together with the true members of the <em>contrada </em>in the most beautiful city in the world. Maybe one day you can also take advantage of visiting the surroundings of Siena: but I doubt that you will be able to distract yourselves from the “fever” of the Palio….</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">Our point of view will be a privileged one from the inside. We want to make you understand the mechanisms of the Palio, have you participate in the life of the <em>contrada,</em> and immerse ourselves in this atmosphere, the only one like it in the world. We will not be tourist spectators, but instead we will engross ourselves in the spirit of this experience that must not be missed. Every day, we will meet to critique the photographic work but also to discuss the correct strategies for making the most of these days.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">__________________________________________________________</span></p>
<h6><span style="color: #d01505;">Siena, Italy 28 • Giugno/3 Luglio<br />
</span></h6>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">Questo workshop si svolgerà durante il Palio di Siena di Luglio. Non è facile spiegare cosa sia il Palio di Siena, quindi un workshop su questo soggetto è ugualmente complicato…! ma ci proviamo.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">Il Palio di Siena è la corsa di cavalli (e qui primo errore, perché è molto di più di una corsa) più antica del mondo…cominciata nel 1644…</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">E’ una delle manifestazioni popolari più vere, sentite e influenti sulla vita sociale rimaste al mondo: non è folcloristico, non è per turisti. anzi….</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">E’ il frutto della vita di contrada che si svolge tutto l’anno a Siena, da più di 400 anni.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">Ci sono 10 cavalli con fantini (l’ordine è questo, è il cavallo che vince la corsa, con o senza fantino), che rappresentano altrettante contrade. Fanno tre giri intorno alla spettacolare Piazza del Campo e il primo vince. 3 minuti.  Questa è la storia breve.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">Quella lunga, è infinita. Su Google in Italiano ci sono 313.00 risultati: in inglese, 2.570.000….</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">Bisogna cominciare a parlare delle 17 contrade, che si dividono il territorio della città. Della passione dei senesi per il Palio, la loro vita. Dei fantini, berberi, capitani, cavalli scossi, mossa, berci, canape; Casato, cencio….</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">L’unica cosa su cui tutti concordano, è che per godere al massimo l’energia del Palio, bisogna viverlo per tutta la sua durata di 4 giorni, e possibilmente seguendo una contrada e avendo come guida una contradaiolo, fino al giorno del Palio, stare con loro per celebrare la vittoria o soffrire della sconfitta, o, peggio ancora, della vittoria della contrada avversaria…!Se non siete senesi o non avete amici legati ad una particolare contrada, sceglietene una per simpatia, perché vi piace il nome, non c’è che l’imbarazzo della scelta.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">Nicchio, Valdimontone, Leocorno, Civetta, Torre, Onda, Chiocciola, Tartuca, Aquila, Pantera, Selva, Drago, Bruco, Giraffa, Oca, Lupa, Istrice.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">Nei giorni precedenti il Palio, si corrono due prove il  giorno, alla mattina e alla sera. Avrete a disposizione tutto il giorno per fare “vita di contrada”, conoscere le persone che vi gravitano intorno, e alla sera, cenare lungo le strade della più bella città al mondo, insieme ai veri contradaioli…magari un giorno potete anche approfittarne e visitare i dintorni di Siena: ma dubito che riuscirete a distrarti dalla “febbre “ del Palio….</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">Il nostro sarò un punto di vista privilegiato dall’interno. Vogliamo farvi capire i meccanismi del Palio, rendervi partecipi alla vita di contrada, immergerci in questa atmosfera unica al mondo. Non saremo turisti  spettatori, ma ci faremo coinvolgere nello spirito di questa imperdibile esperienza.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">Tutti giorni ci troveremo per  fare critica sul lavoro fotografico, ma anche su le corrette strategie per sfruttare al massimo queste giornate.</span></p>

For years, TPW has planned workshops in Sicily during the Easter Processions. We usually look at the Easter Processions not as a single event, but as part of the life and spirit of Sicily. We will follow the final days of the processions and, filled with this strong visual and emotional experience, will plunge ourselves into Sicily</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &quot;Menlo Regular&quot;;">’</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">s everyday life and culture. In every Sicilian town during the days leading up to Easter, processions are carried out bringing to life the Passion of Christ. The Christian component goes side by side with the pagan element, resulting in the creation of unique rituals that are completely different from all the others taking place in the rest of Italy. Our workshop will start on Thursday, in order to be ready to shoot on Holy Friday. We will start following the processions in the small villages on the Eastern part of the island where there are very few inhabitants and there is a greater intimacy and a stronger sense of the religious tradition than in the larger, more well-known processions. We will move from village to village in order to reach the places where this ritual is celebrated in a humble yet potent way. The last days will be concentrated in Scicli, where Easter celebrations are stronger that anywhere else.<br />
Everyday there will be work groups and moments of individual critique.<br />
We will spend all day on Tuesday editing the work shot during the week for the final presentation that evening.<br />
Our centre will be in Scicli.<br />
Scicli and the area around it are part of the UNESCO World Heritage. Located between the sea and cities like Noto and Modica, it is also the perfect centre for exploring the Sicilian Baroque.</span></p>

<h6><span style="color: #ae1e2c;">Sicily 2012,  April 5-9</span></h6>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">I rituali e la tradizione sono una componente molto forte della cultura siciliana..</span></p>
<p>Da anni durante i workshop sulle Processioni Pasquali, affrontiamo le processioni non come un’entità a se stante, ma come parte della vita e dello spirito della Sicilia. Seguiremo alcune processioni per gli ultimi giorni ma soprattutto entreremo nella vita di tutti i giorni e nel cuore della cultura siciliana. Il workshop inizierà il giovedì prima di Pasqua, in modo da poter essere attivi già da Venerdì Santo. Approfitteremo di questi momenti per seguire le piccole processioni nella parte orientale dell’isola, in paesi di non molti abitanti, dove persiste un’intimità e un senso della religione più forte che nelle processioni maggiori. Ci sposteremo di paese in paese, per raggiungere i luoghi dove, in maniera umile ma fortemente sentita, si celebra questo rituale, per arrivare fino al culmine del giorno di Pasqua. Gli ultimi giorni saranno concentrati sulla Pasqua a Scicli, dove la processione del ”Gioia”, il Cristo risorto, è uno degli eventi più suggestivi del ciclo pasquale.<br />
Contemporaneamente, avremo modo di calarci nel modo di vivere siciliano di tutti giorni.<br />
Ogni giorno ci saranno gruppi di lavoro e momenti di critica individuale.<br />
Il giorno finale sarà dedicato all’editing del materiale scattato, per la proiezione finale della sera.<br />
Scicli è uno dei paesi più affascinanti della Sicilia sud-est. Patrimonio dell’UNESCO, si trova in una posizione centrale, tra il mare, Noto, Modica e i maggiori centri del barocco siciliano.</p>

<h6><span style="color: #ae1122;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Tuscany 2012 •  July 29/ August 4</span></span></h6>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><span style="color: #9f9f9f;"><em> <span style="color: #b2b2b2;">With the class, I will attempt to open up the students mind in the many varied photographic styles from past and present. Will explore and  discover some kind of distinct style in their own  work.   With way&#8217;s to expand on that vision to help separate them in the industry.</span></em></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #9f9f9f;"><em><span style="color: #b2b2b2;"> </span></em><span style="color: #b2b2b2;"><br />
How to create a personal style is one of the most talked issues in contemporary photography in general.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #b2b2b2;">Hundreds of young talented photographers manage to have their work published every year, but still only a small number continues to work on a regular basis…</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #b2b2b2;">It is not a question of luck, but a question of style.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #b2b2b2;">During this week with Christopher Morris, we try to define this style, how it comes from a very personal perception of what is in front of us, and how to develop it and make it become our signature.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #b2b2b2;"></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">BIOGRAPHY</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Christopher Morris (born California 1958) is an American photojournalist, best known for his war photographs.<br />
Most of Morris&#8217; work has concentrated on war. Some of the wars he  photographed were the US invasion of Iraq, the drug war in Colombia, the  Persian Gulf war, the wars in Afghanistan, Somalia, Yugoslavia, and  Chechnya − more than 18 foreign conflicts. He documented the presidency  of George W. Bush for Time, and is a founding member of the VII Photo  Agency.<br />
In recent years, Morris has worked on his monograph, My America which  was published in 2006. My America was produced while on assignment for  TIME magazine covering U.S. President George W. Bush. Morris describes  My America as his personal journey into a Republican America. Through  portraits and landscapes, Morris hopes that the viewer &#8220;sees what he saw  and feels what he felt &#8211; a nation that has wrapped its eyes so tightly  in red, white, and blue that it has gone blind.&#8221;<br />
Morris has received a multitude of awards for his work, including the  Robert Capa Gold Medal award, The Olivier Rebbot award and the Feature  Photography award from the Overseas Press Club; the Magazine  Photographer of the Year award from the University of Missouri School of  Journalism; Two Infinity Photojournalist awards from the International  Center of Photography, New York; the Visa d&#8217;Or award; and numerous World  Press Photo Awards.</span></p>

<h6><span style="color: #a91003;">Bangkok March 6 &#8211; 12, 2011</span></h6>
<p>Luca Invernizzi Tettoni was born in Northern Italy and has spent nearly half his life in Asia. During the 80&#8217;s,his long association with Thailand resulted in the publication of a number of ground -breaking books including <strong>The Arts of Thailand</strong>, and the best selling <strong>Thai Style</strong>.  His ability to discover and record ancient traditions  and immutable  aspects of Asia has been instrumental in creating awareness of  traditional styles and values of these fast changing societies.</p>
<p>Luca studied archeology before turning to photography, and Asian art has always been his passion         .<br />
He has worked with some of the most important scholars in this field,  such as C. Sivaramamurti and Jean Boisselier, Thierry Zephir and other  members of the Ecole Française d’Extrême Orient, who chose to use him  for a complete survey of Cham art in Vietnam and for the official  catalogue of the Khmer Museum in Phnom Penh. His exclusive library of  Asian Art includes all major archeological sites of India, Sri Lanka, Burma, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, as well as a wide collection of museum pieces and murals  and it is available for rental.</p>
<p>More recently, his work has been featured in a number of  coffee-table books on contemporary architecture, Spas and resorts, such  as<strong> Tropical Asian Style, The Tropical Garden, Bali Houses, The Ultimate Spa</strong>,<br />
and<strong> Ultimate Tropical</strong>, published by Thames &amp; Hudson  in 2008, which he also authored.  Luca&#8217;s sensitive approach to  recording Asian style opened the eyes of locals and foreigners alike,  and his images have influenced numerous architects and interior designers around the world, who have applied<br />
many of the ideas captured through Luca&#8217;s lens in hotels, resorts and private homes.</p>
<p>In addition to his involvement with editorial projects,  Luca Invernizzi Tettoni works as a commercial photographer. Based in  Singapore, Luca accepts commissions for location assignments in the  Asian region for architects and interior decorators, hotels, resorts and spas.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: silver;" lang="EN-GB">“Photography is not about buying the right lens, nor is it about knowing the right people. It is far more challenging than that. It is about looking at oneself in the mirror sometimes and looking out of the window some other time. Simplicity is always the most difficult thing to achieve. People tend to make things complicated in a way that wastes energy. Energy, flowing naturally, makes for the best art and daily life”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: silver;" lang="EN-GB">This class is for advanced photographers who want to learn on an extended essay or for a magazine or a personal book project.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: silver;" lang="EN-GB">David Alan Harvey&#8217;s work deals with the magic of everyday life. A member of Magnum, he has travelled the world shooting more than 30 essays for National Geographic. His ongoing work in the Spanish-speaking world recently brought him to Cuba. The result of these six months photographing this island spread out over a three year period lead to the publishing of several magazine articles as well as &#8220;Cuba&#8221;, a book that is a moving and intimate portrait of Cuba and its people. A show on Cuba was shown at Visa pour l&#8217;Image Festival in Perpignan, as well as in Miami, Havana and New York, and is currently touring the U.S. and Europe. Harvey is currently at work on two new stories for the National Geographic Magazine.</span></p>

<h5><span style="color: #870f0f;"> </span><span style="color: #ae1122;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Bangkok, 2011 •  6/12 Marzo<br />
</span></span></h5>
<p><span style="color: silver;">Questo Workshop vi porterà a fotografare in una zona precisa , interpretando,  con le vostre foto, l&#8217;essenza  di un posto e dei suoi abitanti.Ci sposteremo nel centro di Bangkok, cercando di conoscere le persone che vi abitano e lavorano, ascoltando le loro storie e fotografando la loro vita quotidiana. Ogni giorno ci incontreremo per la critica sia come gruppo che individualmente.  e poi.. di nuovo on the road, a diverse ore del giorno, per catturare la luce e l&#8217;atmosfera dei posti. Alla fine della settimana, gli studenti avranno a disposizione un portfolio con immagini nuove della vita<span> </span>quotidiana di Bangkok.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: silver;">“Fotografare non è comprare l&#8217; obbiettivo giusto, neppure conoscere le persone giuste. E&#8217; una sfida molto più importante. A volte si tratta di guardarsi allo specchio, altre volte d i guardare fuori dalla finestra. La semplicità è sempre la  cosa più difficile da raggiungere. Spesso tendiamo  a rendere le cose complicate e sprechiamo energia. Ma l&#8217;energia, che  scorre naturalmente, trasforma al meglio l&#8217;arte e la vita di tutti i giorni.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: silver;">Questo workshop è per fotografi di livello avanzato, che vogliono imparare a lavorare su un servizio fotografico per una rivista o per un progetto  personale, mostra, libro.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: silver;">Il lavoro di David Alan Harvey ha a che fare con la magia della vita di tutti i giorni. Membro della Magnum, ha viaggiato in tutto il mondo creando più di trenta composizioni fotografiche per il National Geographic. Il suo più recente lavoro incentrato sul mondo della lingua spagnola è a Cuba. I risultati di sei mesi di lavoro su quest’isola, sono le svariate pubblicazioni di articoli su riviste internazionali, e la pubblicazione di Cuba, un libro che è un commovente ed intimo ritratto di Cuba e della sua gente. Una mostra su Cuba è stata esposta al Visa pour L’image Festival di Perpignan, come anche a Miami, in Havana e New York; la stessa mostra sta inoltre viaggiando tra USA ed Europa. Harvey sta <span> </span>al momento lavorando a due nuovi progetti per il National Geographic Magazine.</span></p>

<p>TRANSYLVANIA: the mind immediately thinks of gothic atmospheres, dark and foggy landscapes, mystery and, above all, Dracula &amp; Co!!!! The truth however is far from this and you can visit unusual and charming places unspoilt by mass tourism.</p>
<p>When we launched this workshop, in Spring 2009, we did not know exactly what to expect. We went there during the winter, to scout the area, but what was in front of us in May was totally unexpected. First of all, the climate was wonderful, long and warm spring days, with amazing lights. And then the local people, ready to open the doors of their houses, despite the language gap. We walked in, in tiptoe, and saw a way of life that is quickly disappearing in the rest of Europe. Maybe we were the last ones to see the horse chartson main roads, to taste honey and bread from small farmers, disappearing now due to the new specification imposed by EEC rules.</p>
<p>This notwithstanding, we immersed ourselves in the yellow and sad charm of these small villages, grown around the fortified church and the local bar. Who know if we will find ourselves again drinking wine at 7 am, together with gipsies at a horse fair , or singing along with violin players in a country bar, where Antonin , Diego and I ended up to on a deserted Sunday morning.</p>
<p>We will explore villages founded by the Saxons in the XII&#8217;th century. These villages, built to protect the region from invasions from the east, grew enormously till the end of World War II, when people started to abandon them. Today relatively few people remain, as witnesses of a long gone past, preserving traditions that have already disappeared in most regions of eastern Europe.<br />
The aim of this workshop is to document the reality and its contrasts. We have been talking with Antonin Kratochvil for a long time about this workshop: Antonin knows the area very well and considers it as one of the most interesting parts of Europe to photograph. Our Centre will be Sighisoara, a city that is part of the UNESCO Heritage Found and one of the best preserved medieval city in Europe. We will be photographing daily life in the nearby villages with the help of local guides who have excellent local access.</p>

<h6><span style="color: #af0c30;">Romania 2012 ,  19-26 MAGGIO<br />
</span></h6>
<p>Transilvania: subito la mente corre ad atmosfere gotiche, paesaggi nebbiosi, misteri e soprattutto Dracula &amp; Co. !!!!</p>
<p>Al di là di questo, che ha alimentato miti e un turismo di bassa lega, esistono in queste parti della Romania realtà ben più importanti e affascinanti.</p>
<p>Quando abbiamo lanciato questo nuovo workshop, la primavera scorsa, non sapevamo bene cosa aspettarci. Avevamo fatto un sopraluogo durante l’inverno, ma quello che si è presentato ai nostri occhi è stato completamente diverso. Innanzitutto, un clima primaverile, con luci incredibili. E poi il contatto con la gente del luogo, che, nonostante le difficoltà linguistiche, è stata pronta ad aprirci le porte. Siamo letteralmente entrati nelle case delle persone, in punta di piedi, e vista una parte di Europa che sta scomparendo in fretta. Forse siamo stati gli ultimi a vedere i carretti trainati dai cavalli sulle strade principale, i piccoli produttori di formaggi e miele stanno scomparendo, premuti dalle nuove standard imposti dall’appartenenza alla EEC.</p>
<p>Ma nonostante questo, c’è un fascino triste in questi piccoli villaggi, raccolti intorno alla chiesa principale e al bar del villaggio. Chissà se incontreremo ancora, per caso, un mercato di cavalli all’alba o i violinisti in una locanda in mezzo al nulla, il piccolo bar aperto di domenica…  dove io Antonin e Diego siamo riusciti a prendere un gelato.</p>
<p>Lontani dagli stereotipi, esploreremo i villaggi che furono fondati dai Sassoni nel XII secolo per porre freno alle invasioni dei Turchi e Tartari, e che sono stati molto popolati fino alla seconda guerra mondiale. Da allora è iniziato l’esodo e si sono lentamente svuotati: oggi sono rimasti pochi abitanti, che preservano tradizioni ormai scomparse in altre regioni europee.<br />
Questo workshop ha lo scopo di documentare questa realtà e i suoi contrasti.<br />
Abbiamo parlato per anni con Antonin Kratochvil dell’idea di condurre un workshop in Transilvania, regione che lui conosce benissimo e che considera uno dei pochi posti incontaminati dell’Est europeo.<br />
Il centro del workshop è Sighisoara, che fa parte del patrimonio dell’UNESCO,  la cittadella medioevale meglio preservata d’Europa, ancora abitata.<br />
Da qui ci muoveremo per fotografare la vita quotidiana dei villaggi circostanti, dove esiste un forte attaccamento alle tradizioni e dove si vive ancora fuori dal tempo, sospesi tra il ricordo di un’epoca ormai trascorsa, e il nuovo che preme. Ci serviremo di guide locali per entrare in contatto con la realtà del luogo.<br />
Alloggeremo nel centro di Sighisoara, dove ci incontreremo anche per le lezioni e la critica collettiva, e partiremo alla ricerca dei nostri soggetti.</p>
<p><strong>Informazioni Pratiche:</strong><strong><br />
<strong>Date: 22-29 Maggio</strong><br />
<strong>Location: Transilvania, Romania</strong><br />
<strong>Visti / Passaporti: si può entrare con passaporto o carta d’identità</strong></strong></p>
<p><strong><strong>Costi Workshop:</strong><br />
<strong>Workshop fee € 1400 inclusi 2 cene </strong><br />
<strong>Alloggio: abbiamo prenotato la Pensione Casa Epoca, dove già eravamo l’anno scorso, un piccolo hotel nel cuore di Sighisoara. Il costo è di circa è 45 per camera. </strong></strong></p>
<p><strong><strong>Pasti: a parte le due cene di cui sopra, i pasti sono indipendenti.</strong><br />
<strong>Viaggio : aereoporti consigliati, Cluj e Bucarest.</strong></strong></p>
<p>Antonin Kratochvil<br />
Kratochvil ha vinto numerosi premi e menzioni d’onore a partire dal 1975. Gli ultimi due sono stati: nel 2002 il World Press Photo nella categoria General News and Nature and the Environment e nel 2004 il premio Aperture. Inoltre nel 2005 ha pubblicato il suo quinto libro Vanishing, un’altra pietra miliare a dimostrazione della sua grande abilità. Nel 2001, insieme ad altri fotogiornalisti, ha fondato l&#8217;agenzia VII.<br />

You will have to be ready to throw away most of your traditional ideas.  Antonin&#8217;s images go beyond document, they speak of emotions and states  of mind, both of the photographer and the person photographed.</span></span></span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #870f0f;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Non  sarà un corso di ritratto inteso in senso tradizionale. Kratochvil  mostrerà come, anche nel ritratto, si possa riuscire ad avere uno stile  unico e personale. Il suo approccio alla fotografia di persone &#8211; famose e  non &#8211; fa sì che il suo lavoro sia richiesto dalle più importanti  testate internazionali.<br />
Bisognerà essere pronti a stravolgere buona parte dei concetti tradizionali.<br />
Le immagini di Kratochvil si spingono oltre il documentario, ci parlano  di emozioni e stati d&#8217;animo, sia del fotografo che del soggetto  fotografato.<br />

<h6><span style="color: #b91233;">Bangkok, March  13 / 19, 2011</span></h6>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;"><em>With the class, I will attempt to open up the students mind in the many varied photographic styles from past and present.

<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;"><br />
How to create a personal style is one of the most talked issues in contemporary photography in general.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">Hundreds of young talented photographers manage to have their work published every year, but still only a small number continues to work on a regular basis…</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">It is not a question of luck, but a question of style.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">During this week with Christopher Morris, we try to define this style, how it comes from a very personal perception of what is in front of us, and how to develop it and make it become our signature.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">The city of Bangkok, with its exuberant street life, will be the ideal place to work on personal projects while developing your vision and building up your personal style.</span></p>
<p>BIOGRAPHY</p>
<p><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Christopher Morris (born California 1958) is an American photojournalist, best known for his war photographs.<br />
Most of Morris&#8217; work has concentrated on war. Some of the wars he photographed were the US invasion of Iraq, the drug war in Colombia, the Persian Gulf war, the wars in Afghanistan, Somalia, Yugoslavia, and Chechnya − more than 18 foreign conflicts. He documented the presidency of George W. Bush for Time, and is a founding member of the VII Photo Agency.<br />
In recent years, Morris has worked on his monograph, My America which was published in 2006. My America was produced while on assignment for TIME magazine covering U.S. President George W. Bush. Morris describes My America as his personal journey into a Republican America. Through portraits and landscapes, Morris hopes that the viewer &#8220;sees what he saw and feels what he felt &#8211; a nation that has wrapped its eyes so tightly in red, white, and blue that it has gone blind.&#8221;<br />
Morris has received a multitude of awards for his work, including the Robert Capa Gold Medal award, The Olivier Rebbot award and the Feature Photography award from the Overseas Press Club; the Magazine Photographer of the Year award from the University of Missouri School of Journalism; Two Infinity Photojournalist awards from the International Center of Photography, New York; the Visa d&#8217;Or award; and numerous World Press Photo Awards.</span></p>

<h6><span style="color: #ae1122;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Tuscany 2011 •  July 31 / August 6 </span></span></h6>
<p><span style="color: #c7c7c7;">Absolute  visions, outside of space and time. The search for the sublime  dimension where Form, Essence, and Beauty flow with clean, perfect, and  indefinite borders. A search where the final point of arrival is unknown  since it is not a landing place to which one can anchor firmly, but  rather a region to explore endlessly. Catching a moment’s gesture in  order to make it eternal without freezing it, celebrating it in the  suspension that creates communication between the everyday ordinary and  the primary beat of the Eternal Feminine.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c7c7c7;">It  is a continuous exploration where there is no longer contradiction  between the immobility of a fixed image and the widespread palpitation  of life that flows uninterruptedly: the infinite exploration of the  moment when photographer and model meet.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c7c7c7;">“Beauty  and Seduction remain in silent contemplation, in the expansion of time,  in the detail of a gesture only just suggested. A gesture blanketed in  the grace and nobility that only Woman, fountain of life and place of  beauty, can offer.”</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c7c7c7;">This  will be the philosophy of the workshop, designed for the photography of  glamour and the nude, where each participant, beginning with an idea,  will develop a project to complete with the available models during the  workshop.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c7c7c7;">The  course intends to analyze and explore the feminine intimacy with images  that don’t stop with the simple beauty of the subject but know how to  relate something that is absolute.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c7c7c7;">It  will be an extreme, refined, elegant, personal, and intimate study  between the feminine subject and the students, led by Gabriele Rigon: a  workshop in which the study of the location, the light, and the subject  will aim to obtain absolute images that go beyond time and space.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c7c7c7;">Gabriele  Rigon was born in 1961. He began taking his first pictures as a “combat  camera” while he was a helicopter pilot during the peace missions.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c7c7c7;">Over the years, his photographic interests have moved towards the study of the human figure.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c7c7c7;">His  attention is particularly focused on the feminine figure, inspirer both  of form and eroticism. In his opinion, EROS is not only the nude but  the essence itself of femininity. He considers the feminine nude  seductive and irresistible, and maybe one of the most beautiful forms in  nature.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c7c7c7;">Over  the years, he has published photographs of Fashion and Glamour in all  the most important magazines in the sector, and he has produced over 40  book covers.</span></p>

<h6><span style="color: #ae1122;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Toscana 2011 •  31 Luglio / 6 Agosto </span></span></h6>
<p><span style="color: #c7c7c7;">Visioni assolute, fuori dal tempo e dallo spazio. Alla ricerca della dimensione sublime, nel quale Forma Sostanza e Bellezza fluiscono con contorni puliti, perfetti, mai definitivi. Una ricerca destinata a non conoscere punto di arrivo finale, poiché il suo oggetto non è un approdo a cui ancorarsi saldamente, ma piuttosto una regione da esplorare senza sosta. Cogliere il gesto di un attimo per eternarlo senza congelarlo, celebrarlo nella sospensione che mette in comunicazione la prosaicità quotidiana con la pulsazione primigenia dell’Eterno Femminile.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c7c7c7;">Una continua esplorazione dove non vi è più contraddizione tra l’immobilità di un’immagine fissata ed il palpito diffuso della vita che scorre ininterrotta: l’esplorazione infinita del momento dell’incontro tra il fotografo e la modella.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c7c7c7;">“La Bellezza e la Seduzione stanno nella contemplazione silenziosa, nella dilatazione del tempo, nel dettaglio di un gesto appena suggerito. Un gesto ammantato di quella grazia e nobiltà che solo la Donna, fonte di vita e luogo di bellezza, può regalare.”.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c7c7c7;">Questa sarà la filosofia del workshop, destinato alla fotografia di glamour e di nudo, dove ciascun partecipante, partendo da un’idea, porterà avanti un progetto da realizzare nell’ambito del workshop, con le modelle a disposizione.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c7c7c7;">Il corso si prefigge di analizzare ed esplorare l’intimità femminile, attraverso immagini che non si fermino di fronte alla semplice bellezza del soggetto, ma sappiano raccontare qualcosa di assoluto.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c7c7c7;">Sarà una ricerca estrema, raffinata, elegante, personale ed intima fra il soggetto femminile e gli studenti, provocata da Gabriele Rigon: un workshop in cui lo studio della location, della luce e del soggetto, punteranno ad ottenere immagini assolute e al di fuori del tempo e dello spazio.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c7c7c7;">Gabriele Rigon è nato nel 1961, ha iniziato a scattare le sue prime fotografie come “combat camera” durante le missioni di pace dove era impegnato come pilota di elicottero.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c7c7c7;">Durante gli anni i suoi interessi fotografici si sono spostati verso lo studio della figura umana.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c7c7c7;">La sua attenzione si rivolge in particolare alla figura femminile, ispiratrice sia di forma, sia di erotismo. A suo avviso &#8220;EROS&#8221; non è solamente il nudo, ma l&#8217;essenza stessa della femminilità. Considera il nudo femminile seducente ed irresistibile, forse una delle forme più belle della natura.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c7c7c7;">Negli anni ha pubblicato fotografie di Moda e di Glamour in tutte le riviste più importanti del settore, e ha realizzato oltre 40 copertine di libri.</span></p>

<h6><span style="color: #db2336;">Bangkok, March 13-20</span></h6>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">As all these mysteries are beyond us, we could feign to be the organizers, wrote Jean Cocteau.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">It is a wonderful sentence to describe the mystery of Photography.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">If  a photograph is initially taken to show or reveal something, for me it  is much more interesting when it suggests something, a feeling that is  difficult to put into words.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Photography is more an art of perception than an art of creation.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">How  do you show or reveal something that you are touched by through  photography? How do you not only depict the subject, but also the  emotion you feel in the presence of this subject?</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">When  I am moved by a photograph, it is through the feeling, the emotion of  the &#8220;author&#8221; of this image. If a portrait is to be a good one, a true  portrait, the image must contain the personality of the model as well as  of the photographer.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">A great portrait is a meeting between three people: the model, the photographer and the viewer.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Photography: to write with light. This is obvious&#8230;</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">The  light is not only the means to inscribe images on your negative (or  memory card), the light is also YOUR ACCOMPLICE to express your emotion  about the subject you are drawn to, to share with other people who will  be looking at your photographs. The light is your best friend to render  your feelings.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Any  source of light has the potential to create &#8220;good photography&#8221;. The sun  or even a simple light bulb hanging from the ceiling could lend a  wonderful light for a portrait, a nude, or anything, really.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Photography  is primarily an art of contemplation. We are photographers because we  need to share our emotions.Technique is only secondary, but it is  necessary if we are to express our feelings in the best way possible.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Many photographers are great photographers, without beeing great technicians.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">They  know perfectly the technique they need for their expression. The  technique is the instrument but more important is the music you are  yearning to express.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #b2b2b2;">Beyond the so-called “natural” light, it’s important to see and explore the atmospheric light in photography or, in other words, the light that one finds in all places. This also includes artificial light – not the light in a studio. More importantly, it is the light in a room or in a city at night. We will, therefore, explore the nocturnal light, walking through the night to not only take pictures of the night atmosphere but also of night portraits. We will learn and we will see that when we think there is no longer enough light, or light at all, there is always light for an image. When there is no longer quantity, there is always quality that remains – this is a truth for light.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">_______________________________________</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Bangkok ( the city of angels) is in essence a place full of exoticism. In the same way far-eastern models are the faces of a different culture. One of the main aims of this workshop is to avoid cheap exoticism, to avoid clichés. It will therefore be most interesting to try to express one’s feelings beyond the subject. The subject is never important. In a personal photograph it is what you feel deeply when you face the subject that matters. To do this in a place, and with models that remind us of cheap and common touristic pictures, will be very interesting. We will avoid the common erotic vision of the Asian woman and try to come closer to the essential being…what I like to define as the sensuality of the soul.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">____________________________________________<br />
</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Letter to the students: Your emotion is more important than the subject.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">At  first I have to say that you will find in Tuscany a real beautiful  light and It will be the best place to improve the way to work  essentially with natural light, as much outside than inside the house.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">I will push you to realize that the most beautiful light is not in professional photography studios, but around you, everywhere.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">The  way in using light in photography is not &#8220;making lighting&#8221; but just  looking at the light and thinking about what could  result in your  photographs.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">I  will emphasize during our week together the mystery of photography,  about the paradox of recording reality with the camera, but at the same  time capturing a certain intangible mystery, a suggestion of something  not seen that makes a photograph interesting.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">What is a good photograph?</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">For  me , it is something that is lurking, lingering, something that you can  not describe, but something, like a vibration that touches you.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">A  good photograph is always a small miracle. We need to learn how to  perfect our technique in order to be able to capture these little  miracles which present themselves to us for the taking.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">During  this week I would like to leave competition with others and with  yourselves behind. I would like you to just be who you are, what you  feel, what you want to express through photography.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">There is no sense in making a &#8220;beautiful picture&#8221;  if your heart is not in it.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">I  would like each of you to arrive at the end of the week with ONE image (  or even better more than one ) that truly demonstrates this &#8220;feeling&#8221;  for you. An image which says &#8220;This is me&#8221;.  &#8221;I am completely in this  image&#8221;</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">I  would like you to bring, together with your portfolio, two to three  images that you like a lot. (Not your own!) It could be a famous  photograph by a famous photographer or a picture in a magazine or any  anonymous image like an old postcard for example. The idea is that I  will ask you to each to try to explain why you like these photographs  and after that try to explain how the photograph is made, and how and  why the technique used in each image lends to it a certain emotion.  Please choose photographs where the lighting is especially important.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">The  essential aim of this workshop is that each of you will come back with a  better awareness of light and all the ways we can use it to express  what we want in a photograph. In addition to the light, I would like you  to become more conscious of the final result that you are after before  setting out to make an image.I do not remember who said: less is more  but for me the best way to express ourselves with photography is often  to show less, to avoid things which have no importance in an image and  which could distract the eye.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">We  will work with models but It won&#8217;t be a typical nudes workshop, I am  waiting for more than formal nudes, something more than showing a  beautiful body with beautiful light . I would like you to do also  portraits: Faces are the most mysterious part of a body , but also you  could do just images of atmosphere, with always the aim to express the  emotion you would like to render in the image with the light . I will  ask also to each of you to do a self-portrait to express:</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">&#8220;Me  in Tuscany&#8221;. A way to express your feeling being there during this  week, far or not from your home, far from your usual life. Doing a  self-portrait is a good way to push you to express yourself sincerely.</span></p>

<h6><span style="color: #db2336;">Bangkok, March 13-20</span></h6>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #870f0f;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">&#8220;Puisque tous ces mystères nous dépassent, feignons d&#8217;en être les organisateurs&#8221; Jean Cocteau</span></span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Quando  tutti questi misteri ci oltrepassano, potremmo fingere di essere  organizzatori, scrisse Jean Cocteau. E’ una frase splendida per  descrivere il mistero della Fotografia.<br />
Se una fotografia è scattata inizialmente per mostrare o rivelare  qualcosa, per me è molto più interessante quando suggerisce qualcosa, un  sentimento che è difficile descrivere a parole. La fotografia è più  un’arte della percezione che un’arte della creazione.<br />
Come fate a mostrare o rivelare qualcosa che vi emoziona attraverso la  fotografia? Come si può non descrivere soltanto il soggetto, ma anche  l’emozione che provate di fronte al soggetto stesso? Quando sono  emozionato da una fotografia, è sempre attraverso il sentimento,  l’emozione “dell’autore” di questa immagine. Per far sì che il ritratto  sia una bella fotografia, un vero ritratto, l’immagine deve contenere  sia la personalità della modella che del fotografo.<br />
Un bellissimo ritratto è un incontro tra tre persone: la modella, il  fotografo e lo spettatore. La Fotografia è scrivere con la luce. Questo è  ovvio&#8230;<br />
La luce non è soltanto il mezzo per imprimere le immagini sui vostri  negativi (o memory card per il digitale), la luce è anche vostra  complice per esprimere le emozioni sul soggetto dal quale siete  attirati, e condividerle con la gente che guarderà le vostre fotografie.  La luce è la vostra migliore amica per rendere al meglio i vostri  sentimenti.<br />
Qualsiasi fonte di luce possiede potenziale per creare “una buona  fotografia”. Il sole, o una semplice lampadina sospesa nel soffitto,  potrebbe prestarvi una splendida luce per un ritratto, un nudo, o  qualsiasi altra cosa. La fotografia è principalmente arte di  contemplazione. Siamo fotografi perché abbiamo bisogno condividere le  nostre emozioni. La tecnica è solo secondaria, ma è necessaria se  vogliamo esprimere i nostri sentimenti nel miglior modo possibile.<br />
Molti fotografi sono grandi fotografi senza essere grandi tecnici.  Conoscono perfettamente la tecnica che utilizzano per la loro  espressione. La tecnica è lo strumento, ma la musica che desidearate  esprimere è più importante.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">_____________________________________________</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Bangkok è per essenza un luogo pieno di esotismo, i modelli asiatici sono per noi i volti di un&#8217;altra cultura. Uno degli scopi principali di questo workshop è quello di evitare di cadere in questo esotismo spesso facile e di evitare i clichés, i luoghi comuni. Sarà quindi ancora più interessante cercare di esprimere le emozioni al di là del soggetto. La cosa importante non è mai il soggetto, ma il sentimento che si sente di fronte a lui ed è questo che conta in una fotografia personale. Ciò sarà quindi particolarmente interessante in un luogo e con dei modelli che ci rimandano ad immagini turistiche e banali. Eviteremo i clichés erotici della donna asiatica per avvicinarci all’essere. A quello che amo definire la sensualità dell’anima.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Al di là della luce detta “naturale”, è importante vedere ed esplorare la luce ambientale in fotografia, cioè la luce che si trova in tutti i luoghi. Quindi anche la luce artificiale, ma non la luce di studio, ma piuttosto la luce di una camera, di una città durante la notte. Esploreremo quindi la luce notturna passeggiando nella notte per fare non solo foto di atmosfere notturne ma anche ritratti notturni. Impareremo e vedremo che quando pensiamo che non c’è più luce o non abbastanza, c&#8217;è sempre una luce per un&#8217;immagine. Quando non c’è più la quantità rimane sempre la qualità, è una verità per la luce.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">___________________________________________<br />
</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Lettera agli studenti: la vostra emozione è più importante del soggetto.<br />
Prima di tutto devo dirvi che in Toscana troverete una luce davvero  bella e sarà il posto migliore per migliorare il modo di lavorare  essenzialmente con luce naturale, sia in esterni che nelle case. Vi  aiuterò a capire che la luce più bella non è quella professionale da  studio, ma quella che vi circonda, ovunque.<br />
Il modo di utilizzare la luce nella fotografia non è attraverso gli  strumenti di illuminazione, ma semplicemente guardando la luce e  pensando al risultato delle vostre fotografie.<br />
Durante la settimana in Toscana, parleremo molto del mistero della  fotografia, il paradosso di registrare la realtà con una macchina  fotografica, ma allo stesso tempo catturare un certo mistero  intangibile, un suggerimento di qualcosa non visto che rende una  fotografia interessante.<br />
Cose’è una bella fotografia?<br />
Per me, è qualcosa che si nasconde, che esita, qualcosa che non si può  descrivere, ma qualcosa come una scossa che ti tocca. Una bella  fotografia è sempre un piccolo miracolo. Dobbiamo imparare a  perfezionare la nostra tecnica per poter essere in grado di catturare  questi piccoli miracoli che ci rappresentano.<br />
Durante questa settimana mi piacerebbe lasciare alle spalle le  competizioni con gli altri e con voi stessi. Mi piacerebbe che ognuno di  voi fosse se stesso, ciò che sentite, ciò che volete esprimere  attraverso la fotografia. Non ha senso creare una “bella immagine” se il  vostro cuore non vi trova dentro.<br />
Vorrei che ognuno di voi arrivasse alla fine della settimana con una  immagine (o anche più di una) che davvero riesca a dimostrare questo  sentimento per voi. Un’immagine che dica: “Questo sono io. Faccio  completamente parte di questa immagine”.<br />
Vorrei che ognuno di voi portasse, oltre al vostro portolfio, due o tre  immagini che vi piacciono molto (non le vostre!). Potrebbero essere di  un fotografo famoso o una foto su una rivista o qualsiasi immagine  anonima, come ad esempio una vecchia cartolina. La mia idea è di  chiedervi perché vi piacciono queste immagini e di spiegarmi come sono  state scattate, e come e perché la tecnica utilizzata in ogni immagine  vi regala una particolare emozione. Vi prego di scegliere una foto nella  quale la luce è particolarmente importante.<br />
Lo scopo principale di questo workshop è quello di tornare a casa con  una conoscenza migliore della luce e tutte i modi di utilizzarla per  esprimere ciò che vogliamo in una fotografia. Oltre alla luce, vorrei  che diventaste più consapevoli del risultato finale di una fotografia  ancor prima di crearla. Per me il modo migliore per esprimere noi stessi  attraverso la fotografia è spesso mostrando meno, evitando cose che non  hanno importanza in un’immagine e che potrebbe distrarre i nostri  occhi. Lavoreremo con modelle, ma non sarà un tipico corso di nudo.  Voglio più che nudi formali, qualcosa in più di un bel corpo con della  bella luce. Mi piacerebbe che voi faceste anche dei ritratti: il viso è  la parte più misteriosa del corpo, ma potreste semplicemente fare foto  di atmosfera, sempre con lo scopo di esprimere l’emozione che vi  piacerebbe rendere nell’immagine con l’utilizzo della luce. Vi chiederò  anche di fare degli auto-ritratti per esprimere: “Io in Toscana”. Un  modo per esprimere i vostri sentimenti durante la settimana in questa  regione, lontani dalla vostra vita di tutti i giorni. Scattare  auto-ritratti è un modo per spingervi a esprimere voi stessi  sinceramente.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Philippe  Pache è nato a Lausanne, Svizzera nel 1961. Tra il 1978 e il 1982  frequenta la School of Applied Arts di Vevey in Svizzera. E’ fotografo  freelance dal 1982.<br />

<p></br><br />
<span style="color: #888888;">Bangkok is the ideal base for discovering the innumerable faces of contemporary Asia. It is a very modern capital and pleasant city to live in, but it also remains deeply immersed in the eastern culture, Buddhist spirituality, and regional politics.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">All of the aspects that made this city famous are still here: a national spirit that has never been broken by colonial domination, the artistic grandeur of golden temples and sacred places are experienced intensely, the nightlife that challenges the imagination and goes well beyond the expected, and the nature, both on the coasts and inland, that is so famous it doesn’t need a description.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">The site of the TPW Orient will be a hotel in the historic heart of the city, in the center of lively situations both day and night, but it is also self-contained in a sort of green oasis that guarantees the necessary tranquility for synthesizing the richness of the images captured in the metropolis. The hotel is easily accessible at any moment and reachable within a few minutes.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">It is also easy to reach a variety of interesting countries from Bangkok that are at the center of the most dynamic contemporary evolution, from China to India and including the entire southeast Asia. At the same time, it is easy to constantly receive influences from these regions. This location is certainly one that offers the most ideas, stimuli and technological support in the world.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Bangkok è la base ideale per scoprire gli innumerevoli volti dell’Asia contemporanea. E’ una capitale modernissima, una città piacevole da vivere, ma resta profondamente immersa nella cultura orientale, nella spiritualità buddista, nella politica regionale.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Gli aspetti che l’hanno resa famosa sono ancora tutti qui. Uno spirito nazionale mai piegato da dominazioni coloniali. La grandiosità artistica di templi dorati e luoghi sacri vissuti intensamente. La vita notturna che sfida la fantasia e riesce ad andare bel oltre l’ovvio. Una natura, sia sul mare che nell’interno, tanto famosa da non necessitare descrizioni.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">La sede del TPW Orient sarà un albergo nel cuore storico della città, nel centro di situazioni vivaci giorno e notte, ma tanto autocontenuto in una sorta di oasi verde da garantire quella tranquillità necessaria a sintetizzare la ricchezza di situazioni catturate nella metropoli. Che resta accessibile in ogni momento e in pochi minuti.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Da Bangkok poi è facilissimo raggiungere un mosaico di paesi interessanti, al centro dell’evoluzione contemporanea più dinamica: dalla Cina fino all’India includendo l’intero sud est asiatico. E, viceversa, ricevere costantemente influenze da queste regioni.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Certamente una location che non potrebbe offrire più spunti, stimoli e supporto tecnologico al mondo.</span></p>

<p>From the noisy, bustling streets of the major cities to the spectacularly beautiful countryside India is a sight to behold. Generations of visitors have returned home with compelling tales of adventure and unique encounters that live on in their memory.</p>
<p>There are many spectacular locations to be found on the subcontinent but for the real India most of my Indian friends agree that Kolkata (formerly Calcutta) is the place to go. Its streets offer up a rich pageant of all that life has to offer. For photographers such a place is a gift; you have only to spend an hour wandering through its streets and you are sure to capture compelling moments that offer an insight into the human condition.</p>
<p>Our base will be at the Fairlawn Hotel.  Do not expect fancy rooms, but do expect an experience. The Fairlawn is a special place in central Kolkata, a meeting point for artist, writers, journalists and photographers. It will offer the perfect atmosphere for our work.</p>
<p>This workshop will offer the possibility to work on personal projects on daily life of one of the world’s most fascinating cities, and at the same time learn and develop the skills to produce work for future publication.</p>
<p>Kolkata is probably the city that better represents all the aspects and contradictions of modern India. Away from the mass touristy tours of colourful Rajastan and mystic Varanasi, Kolkata will raise your visual interest you at different levels. From the poors begging on the streets, to the rich mansion of Kolkata’s elite, to the intellectual circles which are the essence of the city, through the decadent palaces of a disappearing world, you will be surprised of how the city, despite its almost 15 million habitants, manages to work and be organized.</p>
<p>The flower market, the temple to Kali at Kalighat, shopping areas in Park Street, young men playing soccer and cricket at the Maidan are part of daily life, as are the many NGO working to help the less fortunate. Yellow Taxis run together with rickshaws pullers, in a chaotic but still well orchestrated traffic. Remains of the British Empire, such as exclusive clubs and old building, mark their presence, together with Hindu temples, food markets, schools…<br />
Despite all this, you will find a humanity hard to find in other Indian mega-cities (it is the third city of India after Delhi and Mumbai).</p>
<p>In a few days, the area around our Hotel will became as familiar to you as your home. The chai (tea) seller will recognize you, same young kids will ask you every day to clean your shoes, rickshaw pullers will smile and ask you to go for a ride…it is impossible not to fall for this city and his humanity.</p>
<p>The digital age is giving photographers extraordinary new ways to create and organize our photographic projects. This workshop will show how to utilize the power of great photography with the new digital workflow to extend the ability of the visual storyteller. Jonathan Torgovnik  will share examples of his personal projects and work to illustrate the possibilities of photography as a source of passion, personal expression and communicative power. He will discuss how you develop an idea, get access to your subject, determine your goals and present your work to editors. The objective is to share the passions for photography and inject that spirit into the students. Digital photography is just a new tool and what is most important is to understand the traditions of photography, storytelling, narrative and intimacy so we can integrate these qualities into our work in the most effective manner possible.</p>
<p>There will also be presentations and discussion on multimedia, how it fits into the changing landscape of media today and what and where the opportunities are for creativity and distribution of your work.</p>
<p>The students will view the instructor&#8217;s work, outlining the complete process of creating a project from beginning to end. Each student should expect to shoot a photo essay during the workshop that deals with some aspect of life in Kolkata.</p>
<h6><span style="color: #ffffff;"><strong>Jonathan Torgovnik</strong></span></h6>
<p><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Jonathan Torgovnik was born in Israel, and graduated with a BFA degree from the School of Visual Arts in New York, where he studied Photography and Art. His photographs from various projects and assignments have been published in numerous International publications including <em>Newsweek, Aperture, GEO, The Sunday Times Magazine, Stern, Paris Match, and Mother Jones</em> among others. Torgovnik has been a contract photographer for <em>Newsweek </em>magazine since 2005, and is on the faculty of the International Center of Photography School in New York.  He is the author of two books: <em>Bollywood Dreams</em> (<em>Phaidon</em>, 2003), and <em>Intended Consequences: Rwanda Children Born of Rape</em> (<em>Aperture</em>, 2009).</span></p>

<p>___________________________________________</p>
<p>Dalle chiassose e animate vie delle grandi città alla sorprendente bellezza delle campagne, l&#8217;India è uno spettacolo da vedere. Generazioni di viaggiatori sono tornati a casa con storie avvincenti di avventure e straordinari incontri, incisi nella loro memoria.  Il paese è ricco di luoghi spettacolari, ma per la vera India, molti dei miei amici indiani concordano sul fatto che Kolkata (precedentemente chiamata Calcutta) è sicuramente il posto dove andare. Le sue strade offrono una ricca parata di tutto ciò che la vita ha da offrire. Per esperienza personale, posso dire che Kolkata ha molto da offrire e non soltanto a livello visivo!</p>
<p>La nostra base operativa sarà al Fairlawn Hotel. Non aspettatevi stanza lussuose, ma aspettatevi di sicuro un&#8217;esperienza vera. Il Fairlawn è un luogo speciale nel cuore di Kolkata, un punto di ritrovo di artisti, scrittori, giornalisti e fotografi. Vi offrirà l&#8217;atmosfera perfetta per il vostro lavoro.</p>
<p>Kolkata è probabilmente la città che meglio rappresenta tutti gli aspetti e le contraddizioni dell&#8217;India moderna. Lontana dagli affollati tour turistici che si riversano nel coloratissimo Rajastan, o nel mistico Varanasi, Kolkata saprà sollecitare il vostro interesse visuale a diversi livelli. Dai mendicanti per le strade, alle lussuose ville dell&#8217;elite della città, dagli ambienti intellettuali che sono il cuore pulsante della metropoli, attraverso i palazzi decadenti di un mondo che sta ormai svanendo, rimarrete sorpresi di come una città di oltre 15 milioni di abitanti, faccia funzionare le cose e sia organizzata. Il mercato dei fiori, il tempio dedicato a Kali al Kalighat, le vie dello shopping a Park Street, i giovani che giocano a calcio o a cricket al Maidan sono parte integrante della vita quotidiana, così come lo sono le numerose ONG che lavorano per rendere migliore la vita dei meno fortunati. I taxi gialli sfrecciano per le strade, fianco a fianco con i tiratori di risciò, in un traffico caotico, ma tutto sommato ben orchestrato. Resti dell&#8217;Impero Britannico, come i club esclusivi e i vecchi edifici, segnano la loro presenza affianco ai tempi Hindu, ai mercati e alle scuole&#8230; Nonostante tutto ciò, scoprirete un&#8217;umanità difficile da trovare nelle altre mega città indiane (è la terza città in India, dopo Delhi e Mumbai).</p>
<p>In pochi giorni, l&#8217;area intorno al nostro hotel vi diventerà famigliare come quella di casa. I venditori di chai (té) vi riconosceranno, i soliti bambini chiederanno ogni giorno di pulirvi le scarpe, i portatori di risciò vi sorrideranno chiedendovi di fare un giro&#8230;</p>
<p>E&#8217; impossibile non innamorarsi di questa città e della sua umanità.</p>
<p>L&#8217;era digitale sta regalando ai fotografi nuove e sorprendenti modi per creare e organizzare i propri progetti. Questo workshop mostrerà come utilizzare il grande potere della fotografia attraverso nuovi flussi di lavoro digitale, in grado di ampliare le abilità di un visual storyteller.</p>
<p>Jonathan Torkovnik  condividerà esempi dei suoi progetti personali e lavori per il National Geographic e altre grandi riviste, al fine di illustrare le possibilità della fotografia come una fonte di passione, espressione personale e potere comunicativo. Discuterà, inoltre, di come sviluppare una propria idea, avvicinarsi al proprio soggetto, determinare i propri obiettivi e presentare il proprio lavoro alle redazioni. Lo scopo è quello di condividere la passione per la fotografia e infondere questo spirito agli studenti.</p>
<p>La fotografia digitale è semplicemente un nuovo strumento e la cosa importante è capire le sue tradizioni e le tecniche di narrazione, di modo da poterle integrare nel vostro lavoro nel modo più efficace possibile. Verranno anche proiettate presentazioni e si discuterà sul multimedia, su come si adatti nel mutevole panorama mediatico del giorno d&#8217;oggi e dove cercare e trovare le giuste occasioni per lanciare il proprio lavoro.<br />
Gli studenti avranno modo di vedere il lavoro dell&#8217;insegnante, delineando l&#8217;intero processo della creazione di un progetto dall&#8217;inizio alla fine. Durante il workshop, ogni studente deve prevedere di elaborare una propria storia che tratti l&#8217;aspetto della vita a Kolkata.</p>
<p><strong>INFORMAZIONI PRATICHE:<br />
Date: 9-17 Ottobre 2011<br />
Location: Kolkata, India<br />
Visto: accertatevi di avere un visto per il turismo valido per l&#8217;India. I tempi per ottenerlo variano dalle 2 alle 4 settimane </strong></p>
<p><strong>Costi del Workshops: € 1400 incluse 2 cene<br />
Pernonattamento: abbiamo prenotato alcune stanze in più al Fairlawn Hotel. Il costo è approssimativamente di 45€ a notte, colazione compresa. 50€ pensione completa.<br />
Vi chiediamo di comunicarci per favore nel caso decidiate di pernottare al Fairlawn. C&#8217;è anche un altro hotel nelle vicinanze, leggermente più caro: 55€ &#8211; B&amp;B, i pasti esclusi. Mangiare fuori a Kolkata è piuttosto conveniente e di sicuro interesse&#8230;<br />
Viaggio: Kolkata è collegata con i più grandi aeroporti del mondo. Nel caso lo desideraste, è possibile organizzare il trasporto dall&#8217;aeroporto all&#8217;hotel.</strong></p>

<h3><strong><span style="color: #ae1122;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"> </span></span></strong><span style="color: #ae1122;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"> </span></span></h3>
<h4><span style="color: #a90227;">Burma · Myanmar  -  February 23/March 4, 2011</span></h4>
<p><span style="color: #c5c5c5;">Burma is the most challenging country in South East Asia. Full of contradictions and beauty. The political isolation, precluding any social development, has preserved the most pristine cultural environment in the region and photographers have been roaming the country for years. Our project, based on the long experience of many operators within the secluded borders, focuses on the cultural roots of modern Myanmar. All within the very geographical and cultural centre of the land, we will include the monumental vastness of Bagan, a local boat trip along the Irrawaddy river, and a drive into the most intact northern interior. The itinerary will start in the mythical city of Mandalay where we’ll see some of the richest cultural realities in Asia.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c5c5c5;">Following the philosophy of TPW Orient, we are not going to organize yet another photographic journey but a veritable collective workshop. Photography may be as varied as anyone can dream, but we’ll encourage working on a personal project that will help focus the whole experience, such as the Buddhist religious culture, a kaleidoscope of Pagodas and Monasteries crowded by thousands of saffron monks, or the worship of Spirits (this is the most devoted area to the Nats). Another focus could be a magnificent environment or the truest daily street life ever imaginable.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c5c5c5;">The program will start with leaving from Bangkok to Yangon, the original capital city, where we’ll visit the splendid Shwedagon pagoda, the most sacred and important religious monument in the country, and we’ll spend the first night there.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c5c5c5;">On the second day, we’ll fly to Mandalay, the old imperial capital and cultural centre of modern Myanmar. Here is a myriad of Buddhist monasteries, universities, and ancient monuments that will represent the best planning and introduction to our individual projects. We’ll spend three nights in Mandalay, before driving through the back country to the city of Monywar. This is well off the beaten track, but well into the real Burma where life has the same rhythm of one hundred years ago. From here, we will drive to the village of Pakoku, on the banks of the Irrawaddy river, and then by boat we will arrive at the UNESCO heritage site of Bagan. The most important archeological site is an ancient capital where thousands of pagodas remain, spread out in a dry plain. We will experience yet another inside view that will allow us to experience the place with different opportunities than those offered to mass tourism. We will spend three nights in Bagan, with an excursion to Mount Popa, the Nats’ sacred spirit worship centre. This will also be the place where we summarize the results of our photographic projects, having a final discussion and presentation.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c5c5c5;">On the tenth day, we’ll fly back to Bangkok via Yangon.</span></p>

<p>BIOGRAPHY</p>
<p><span style="color: #bcbcbc;">Born in Florence, <strong>Andrea </strong>studied geography at the local university. He continues to live between here, a home-place he considers not so much an urban center but a continuous source of inspiration, and Bangkok, ideal base to cover Asia.<br />
With the evolution of his vocation to explore man and places, Andrea has become a travel photographer specialized in geographic and social reportage in every part of the world. Today he works on assignment for major publications. His photographic <a href="http://www.pistolesiphoto.com/Books.html">BOOKS</a> on exotic destinations (<em>Indonesia, New Zealand, Morocco, South Africa, The Land of Buddha, Hinduism, Eastern Christianity</em>) have been published in addition to illustrated travel books on the major European subjects. He is the sole author of the photos in the Bonechi Publishers US book series (35 titles) and his book on prayer in the world&#8217;s major religions was published in 2007. A total of over 100 titles published internationally.<br />
Andrea has become especially known for his research on the use of existing light, which he combines with a formal yet personalized composition of his images, deeply influenced by his classical Florentine origins. He was one of the first explorers of the digital technology: his book “<em>Back in Town</em>”, dedicated to his first digital works, was published in 1998.<br />
He is holding workshops every year on Geographical and Digital Photography.<br />
The approach to Fine Art Photography came as a natural evolution of this professional career. His work has been exhibited both in Italy and abroad. He participated with a personal show at the VII Biennale di Fotografia in Turin and won the 1998 First Award in the Italian selection of the Fuji European Press Award.</span></p>

<h4><span style="color: #a90227;">Birmania · Myanmar  -  23 Febbraio &#8211; 4 Marzo , 2011</span></h4>
<p><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">La Birmania è lo stato più affascinante del Sud Est Asiatico. Piena di contraddizioni e bellezza: </span><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">la situazione politica, che ha precluso lo sviluppo sociale, ha preservato l’ambiente culturale intatto, e i fotografi hanno esplorato per anni questa zona.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Il nostro progetto, basato sull’esperienza di diverse guide, è focalizzato sulle radici culturali del moderno Myanmar. Muovendoci  entro i confini sia geografici che culturali del paese, includeremo la grandezza monumentale di Bagan e un percorso in barca lungo il fiume Irrawaddy per raggiungere territori remoti del nord. Un itinerario che inizia nella mitica città di Mandalay, osservando  alcune delle più suggestive situazioni in Asia.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Seguendo la filosofia del TPW Orient, questo non sarà l’ennesimo tour fotografico, ma un workshop fotografico intenso e mirato. Il tipo di soggetti fotografici è più vasto di quello che potete sognare e incoraggeremo l’idea di lavorare su uno o due progetti personali che rendano l’idea dell’esperienza di questo viaggio e dello spirito del luogo. Dalla cultura religiosa buddista – un caleidoscopio di pagode e monasteri affollati di monaci nei loro abiti color zafferano &#8211; alla adorazione degli spiriti (questa area è particolarmente devota ai Nats), ad un paesaggio mozzafiato o agli aspetti di  vita quotidiana nei villaggi.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Il programma inizia da Yangon, la capitale economica, dove visiteremo la splendida pagoda di Shwedagon, il monumento religioso più sacro del paese, e dove trascorreremo la prima notte.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Successivamente voleremo a Mandalay, la vecchia capitale imperiale e il centro culturale dell’attuale Myanmar. Qui troveremo un’altissima concentrazione di monasteri buddisti, università, antichi monumenti, dai quali prenderemo  spunto e ispirazione per pianificare i nostri progetti fotografici. Passeremo tre notti a Mandalay, prima di guidare nell’entroterra del paese, fino alla città di Monywar. Questa è fuori dai percorsi abituali, ma rappresenta il cuore del Myanmar, dove la vita ha gli stessi ritmi di cento anni fa.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Proseguiremo per il villaggio di Pakoku, sulle rive del fiume Irrawaddy,  e via fiume arriveremo al sito di Bagan, patrimonio dell’Unesco. E’ il sito più importante dal punto di vista archeologico, la vecchia capitale della quale restano centinaia di pagode sparse lungo la vallata. Avremo modo di vivere questa esperienza in maniera approfondita, diversamente dal mordi e fuggi del turismo di massa . Trascorreremo infatti tre notti a Bagan, con una visita al Monte Popa, il centro di adorazione degli spiriti sacri dei Nats. Questo sarà anche il luogo dove raccogliere le impressioni di questo viaggio, con una presentazione finale.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Il decimo giorno torneremo a Yangon, da dove  potrete proseguire il vostro viaggio o rientrare.</span></p>

<h4><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">Laos · Cambodia -  March 21-30, 2011</span></h4>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">If the Mekong river is the main artery of Asia, a journey along it is the most impacting experience you can make in the continent. Traveling on this waterway between southern Laos and the Cambodian capital Phnom Penh  is like seeing the true cultural heart of South East Asia. From Pakse down to Champassak, the Khmer temple (a World Heritage Site) and further south to the 4000 islands area, we’ll find the true spirit of Laos, the country that best embodies the myth of the oriental bliss. Crossing the border, Cambodia is a completely different story: this is the area where the Khmer Rouge started their revolution that inspired Apocalypse Now, and it is still the most remote corner of this poverty torn nation. Life here is as basic and real as it can be, and the journey will be a true personal experience. We will then go to Phnom Penh, the capital that, although changing fast, is still the most charming with its colonial flavour.<br />
Following the philosophy of TPW Orient, we are not going to organize yet another photographic journey but a veritable collective workshop. Photography in this trip is a mix of daily life and landscape along the banks of the Mekong, mostly taken from small wooden boats that can make frequent stops in the villages and among the 4000 islands. In Phnom Penh, street life and cultural venues will offer a modern, urban completion of the photographic project.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">Arriving at the Laos border from Bangkok (a combination of travel by plane and car) we’ll start the program in the city of Pakse, a bustling market. The second day we’ll go by boat to Champassak, the UNESCO site where the Khmer temple is second in importance only to Angkor. Two nights here will give us the time to also visit villages and ancient temples along the river. On the fourth day, we will move again by small boat toward the 4000 islands area. This is a unique environment, with colonial history and palm trees where we can find the true river life, but also a backpackers heaven.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">On the sixth day, we’ll cross the border to Cambodia heading towards the city of Kratie. On the way, we’ll visit the 100 Pillar Pagoda and the island of Koh Trung. On the seventh day, we’ll continue by boat to Phnom Penh, where we’ll spend the last three days. This is a city full of photo opportunities, and it will also be the place where we summarize the results of our photographic projects, having a final discussion and presentation.</span></p>
<h6><span style="color: #dd173f;">PRACTICAL INFORMATION</span></h6>
<p><span style="color: #b7b7b7;">Dates: March 21-30</span></p>

<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">_____________________________________________</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">Se è vero che il fiume Mekong è la maggiore arteria e il cuore dell’Asia, un viaggio lungo lo stesso è l’impatto più forte che  possiate avere nel continente. Viaggiare sulle sue acque tra il Laos del sud e Phnnom Penh, capitale della Cambogia, è come attraversare la cultura pulsante del Sud Est Asiatico. Da Pakse a Champassak, passando per i templi Khmer (sito UNESCO) e  inoltrandosi ancora a sud alle 4000 Isole, troveremo il vero spirito del Laos, il paese che meglio rappresenta il mito della serenità  orientale.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">Oltre il confine, la Cambogia: una storia completamente differente. Qui è dove i Khmer Rouge  hanno iniziato la loro rivoluzione, il luogo che ha ispirato l’epilogo di <em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Apocalypse Now</span></em>, ed è tuttora l’angolo più remoto di questa nazione divorata dalla povertà. La vita qui è al livello più semplice immaginabile, e il viaggio attraverso questa zona sarà una fortissima esperienza personale. Meta finale è Phnom Penh, la capitale che, nonostante i veloci cambiamenti, conserva ancora il suo fascino coloniale.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">Anche in questo caso seguiremo la filosofia di TPW, cioè non sarà l’ennesimo tour fotografico, ma una esperienza collettiva per catturare, attraverso i nostri progetti, lo spirito del luogo. La fotografia in questo viaggio/workshop è costituita da un misto di vita quotidiana e paesaggio lungo le rive del Mekong, visto dalle piccole barche di legno che si fermano nei villaggi. A Phnom Penh la vita quotidiana è più intensa e ci saranno mille occasioni per street-photography.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">Arrivando al confine con il Laos da Bangkok (un viaggio misto in aereo e auto) inizieremo il workshop da Pakse, città con un vivacissimo mercato. Da qui ci recheremo in barca a Champassak, il sito UNESCO secondo solo  per importanza a quello di Angkor. Due notti qui ci permettereano di visitare anche i villaggi e gli antichi templi lungo il fiume. Il quarto giorno, ci imbarcheremo di nuovo verso l’area delle 4000 Isole. Questo è un ambiente unico, con una forte storia coloniale e foreste di palme dove scopriremo la vita del fiume, paradiso del turismo alternativo.</span></p>

<h5><span style="color: #ae1122;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Mississippi 2011 &#8211; Clarksdale, Sept 10-18, 2011</span></span></h5>
<p><span style="color: #d4d4d4;">A Journey into the Roots of Blues</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #d4d4d4;">In September / October 2010  we conducted out first workshop in the Mississippi Delta.What originally started as a Journey into the place that gave birth to Blues music, turned out into a exploration of places and people who live in that area, very isolated from the touristic trail&#8230;These are some images shot during that week. We will go back in 2011 !!!</span></p>
<h5><span style="color: #d4d4d4;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br />
</span></span></h5>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #d4d4d4;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">My  motto when choosing a new workshop to offer to TPW friends is “ I  always offer a workshop that I would like to take myself”, and this is  true for every workshop that TPW has run in all these years.<br />
This particular workshop goes beyond this motto: my passion for  photography meets my passion for music, and for blues in particular.  This unique workshop is addressed to photographers who love blues and  want to explore the area where this music started, meet local people and  musicians, drive and get lost in the Delta Landscape, rediscover your  soul on the biggest river in North America and getting muddy on the  mighty Mississippi river, and meet at the Crossroads…</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #d4d4d4;">We will be based in Clarksdale, Mississippi, the birthplace of the blues.<br />
This is where Muddy Waters lived before moving to Chicago, where  musicians such as John Lee Hooker, Ike Turner, and Charlie Patton came  from, where Robert Johnson met the devil at the Crossroads of Hwy 61  &amp; 49.<br />
During the week, we will explore the places nearby, meet people, visit  juke joints where live music is played every night and meet the  musicians and the bands…<br />
Other local friends – and I have already made a few that are all very  excited to be involved in this project – will help us during this  workshop and show us the real life along the Delta….<br />
Be prepared for a very busy week, where you will discover  places that  are not included in the traditional tourist tours, and you will meet  people that will tell you stories of a long time ago…</span></p>

</span></span></h5>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #d4d4d4;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Il  mio motto quando scelgo un nuovo workshop da proporre per il TPW è    “Voglio offrire un workshop che avrei piacere di frequentare  personalmente”. E questo è stata una parola che ho mantenuto in tutti  questi anni di TPW<br />
Questo workshop in particolare va ben oltre: la mia passione per la  fotografai si unisce alla mia passione  per la musica e per il blues in  particolare.<br />
Questo workshop, unico nel suo genere, è per i fotografi che amano il  blues e vogliono esplorare l’area da cui questa musica prende le  origini, incontrare gente  del luogo e musicisti, guidare e perdersi nel  Delta del Mississippi, riscoprire la propria  anima lungo le sponde del  maggior fiume americano, il Grande Mississippi. incontrarsi al  Crossroads….</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #d4d4d4;">Il centro del nostro workshop è Clarksdale, il luogo di nascita del blues.<br />
Qui è dove Muddy Waters viveva prima di trasferirsi a Chicago, da dove  provengono musicisti come John Lee Hooker, Ike Turner, and Charlie  Patton e dove di dice che il bluesman Robert Johnson abbia firmato il  patto col diavolo alla Crossroad delle Highway 61&amp;49….<br />
Durante la settimana, esploreremo i  luoghi nelle vicinanze, faremo  amicizia con  la gente del luogo, ci fermeremo nelle bettole dove si fa  musica dal vivo ogni sera e incontreremo i musicisti e le loro bands….<br />
Altri amici locali &#8211;  ne ho già parecchi, tutti molto curiosi e  interessati a questo progetto fotografico – ci aiuteranno durante questo  workshop e ci mostreranno la vera vita lungo il Delta…<br />
Aspettatevi una settimana molto piena,  dove scoprirete luoghi che non  fanno parte dei giri turistici, e incontrerete persone pronte a  raccontarvi storie di un passato non tropo lontano…</span></p>

<p>From our Indian experience, raises now the desire to move further east, and discover the fastest changing region in the world, the true core of what the globalized society will look like, torn between the contradictions of modernity and strong traditions.</p>
<p>The main centre, for two weeks, will be <strong>Bangkok</strong>. Bangkok is the perfect base for this project: easy (and affordable) to reach from every part of the world, a modern and efficient capital still showing a strong traditional culture. And a social melting pot that is paradise to street photography.</p>
<p>We are also offering new workshops in Europe.</p>
<p>We are returning to <strong>Transylvania</strong>, and launching new location<strong>: Istanbul (Turkey</strong>) and <strong>Bretagne (France)</strong></p>
<p>And after many years we are also going back to <strong>Venice.</strong></p>
<p>These “travel” workshops offer you the possibility to work <em>on the field</em>, in areas zone we have selected for different reasons, mainly for the possibility to visit famous places with a different approach (Venice, Istanbul), to witness deep social changes (Transylvania) or for the strong preservation of their culture (Bretagne)</p>
<p>Workshops dedicated to street photography, but also to travel and environmental portraits.</p>
<p>Choose one and join us in this wonderful adventure!</p>
<p>________________________________________________</p>
<p><strong>TPW PROJECTS</strong> è nato nel 2000 quando abbiamo lanciato il nosro primo workshop in Sicilia. Da allora, abbiamo aggiunto nuovi progetti ogni anno:in Italia, nei negozi FNAC, Passion &amp; Profession, Focus on Monferrato,WinePhoto Contest, In  Between aRome, TPW Light,  Venezia, Napoli, Roma, Genova…</p>
<p>Ultimamente abbiamo aggiunto alcune destinazioni Europee e <strong>India</strong>.</p>
<p>Da questa esperienza indiana, è nato il desiderio e la curiosità di muoverci ancora più ad Est per scoprire le regioni che si stanno evolvendo a grande velocità, l’essenza di come il mondo globalizzato sarà da qui a poco, tra le contraddizionI della modernità incalzante e le tradizioni del passato che resistono.</p>
<p>Il centro principale, per due settimane, sarà Bangkok. <strong>Bangkok</strong> è il centro ideale  per questo progetto e facile da raggiungere da qualsiasi parte del mondo,. Una metropoli  moderna e efficiente, che ancora mostra una forte cultura tradizionale. Un paradiso per la <em>street photography.</em></p>
<p>Oltre a questo workshop nel sud-est asiatico, proponiamo altri incontri più vicini a noi.</p>
<p>La <strong>Transilvania</strong> è già stata una nostra meta: nascono adesso workshop in <strong>Bretagna, Turchia</strong> e riproponiamo, dopo anni di assenza, <strong>Venezia</strong>.</p>
<p>La particolarità di questi workshop è di potere lavorare “sul campo” in zone geografico che abbiamo scelto in base ai contenuti che offrono, alla possibilità di visitare luoghi noti in una luce diversa (Venezia e Istanbul), di assistere a rapidi cambiamenti sociali (Romania) o per l’attaccamento alle tradizioni (Bretagna).</p>
<p>Quindi, workshop legati alla street photography, ma anche alla fotografia di viaggio e  di ritratto ambientato.</p>
<p>Sceglietene uno e unitevi a noi in questa bellissima avventura!</p>

<h5><span style="color: #b5000a;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">TPW ORIENT</span></span></h5>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">In the first years of operation of TPW, we have mainly used Tuscany as  our main center. Then came Sicily (1998), and Venice, Naples Rome&#8230;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">Recently, we have added some European destination and India.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">From our Indian experience, raises  now the desire to move further</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">east, and discover the fastest changing region in the world, the true core of what the globalized society will look like, torn between the contradictions of modernity and strong traditions .</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">We are launching a new project called TPW Orient, directed to all our friends who have been with us in the past years, and to new ones from  around the  world, specially from South East  Asia.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">It will not be just “another workshop in the East”, but a complete</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">program as the one we started  many years ago in Tuscany.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">The main center, for two weeks, will be Bangkok. Here we will run 3-4 workshops a week, focused on different types of photography.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">World renown photographers will be the teachers in an environment that will be an island of peace within the heart of the metropolis.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">In addition  to this, we will run two trips, one in remote Burma and one along the Mekong river, between  Laos and Cambodia.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">Andrea Pistolesi, who knows the area very deeply  and  has shot there for  many international magazines, will conduct the  two trips that have the scope to escape the obvious and search for real stories .</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">Other photographers will be based in Bangkok for the  other workshops.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">All the photographers involved in the project have experience about shooting in the area.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">With this project we plan to involve also photographers from the area, and have a “west meets east” in terms of creating  a good mixture of partecipants from both areas of the world, who can share their passion  for photography. Bangkok is the perfect  base for this project: easy (and affordable) to reach from every part, and then perfect base for moving in the region. A modern and efficient capital still showing a strong traditional culture. And a social melting pot that is paradise to street photography.</span></p>

<h5><span style="color: #b5000a;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">TPW ORIENT</span></span></h5>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">Nei primi anni del TPW abbiamo usato principalmente la Toscana come nostro centro. Poi sono arrivati i workshop in Sicilia (1988), e Venezia, Napoli , Roma, Genova…</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">Ultimamente abbiamo aggiunto alcune destinazioni Europee e India.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">Da questa esperienza indiana, è nato il desiderio e la curiosità di muoverci ancora più ad Est per scoprire le regioni che si stanno evolvendo a una grande velocità, l’essenza di come il mondo globalizzato sarà da qui a poco, tra le contraddizione della modernità incalzante e le tradizioni del passato che resistono.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">Lanciamo un nuovo progetto, chiamato TPW Orient, indirizzato agli studenti TPW che ci hanno seguito in questi anni, e a nuovi fotografi di tutto il mondo, specialmente del Sud Est Asiatico.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">Non sarà “un altro workshop” all’Est, ma un programma articolato e completo, come quello a cui abbiamo dato vita 18 fa in Toscana.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">Il centro principale, per due settimane, sarà Bangkok. Qui avranno luogo 3 workshops a settimana, dedicati a diversi aspetti della fotografia, dal fotogiornalismo alla ricerca personale.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">Fotografi professionisti di fama internazionale condurranno i workshop che si svolgeranno nel centro della città.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">Oltre a questo workshop “residenziale” , completeremo il progetto con due workshop in viaggio: il primo nel cuore del Myanmar (Birmania) e l’altro passando da Laos a Cambogia lungo il fiume Mekong.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">Andrea Pistolesi, che conosce l’area profondamente (vive in Asia  metà anno) e ha realizzato in queste zone molti reportage, condurrà i due workshop/viaggi.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">Tutti i fotografi coinvolti in questo progetto hanno fotografato a lungo in questa zona.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">Con questo progetto vogliamo anche coinvolgere fotografi locali, e creare una sorta di “l’occidente incontra l’oriente” fotografico, con una forte combinazione di elementi da entrambe le culture.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c1c1c1;">Bangkok è il centro ideale  per questo progetto: facile da raggiungere da qualsiasi parte del mondo, e il luogo perfetto da cui partire per scoprire la regione. Una metropoli  moderna e efficiente, che ancora mostra una forte cultura tradizionale. Un paradiso per la <em>street photography.</em></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: normal; font-size: 13px; color: #c0c0c0;">The Toscana Photographic Workshop&#8217;s Gallery, is a way to keep in touch with our TPW students. Every month we will propose work from an ex-student, in order to closely observe his/her work, and to know how his/her commitment with photography is going, to get news about what has happened after the TPW experience…</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #870f0f;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;"> The students&#8217; portfolios will stay on-line for one year, so in the future it will be possible to view both current and previous portfolios.<br />
We are interested in your opinions: write your point of view about the on-line-show at info@tpw.it</span></span></span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #870f0f;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">La Gallery del Toscana Photographic Workshop è un modo per continuare a tenerci in contatto con gli studenti del TPW. Ogni mese, proporremo il lavoro di un ex &#8211; studente, per osservare da vicino il suo lavoro, e sapere come sta proseguendo il suo impegno nella fotografia, conoscere quello che è successo dopo il TPW…<br />
I portfolio degli studenti rimarranno on-line per un anno, quindi sarà possibile, in futuro, visionare sia il portfolio corrente che quelli precedenti.<br />
Siamo interessati al vostro parere: scriveteci con il vostro parere sulla mostra on line a info@tpw.it</span></span></span></p>

<h3><span style="color: #ffffff;"> </span><span style="color: #c0c0c0;"> </span></h3>
</div>
<p><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">This spring I decided to go to POTI, a small city with population of around 48.000 people at the coast of the Black Sea, in the western part of Georgia. Situated near the site of the ancient Greek colony of Phasis, today it’s a major port of the country. In my childhood, I used to spend summer holidays in Poti, and the desire to go back and capture the everyday life of a port city and its people was the initial idea of the project.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">I got to Poti during the so called “fishing pause”, when catching fish at the sea had been forbidden for a month. One should mention that many in the city depend on fishing and it is their main occupation. I caught on camera a small group of fishermen at the beach; they were reluctant to show faces, knowing that fishing in the sea was a law offence. Unfortunately many local fishermen cannot afford to buy a fishing license and therefore either have to break law or head towards the lake of Paliastomi and spend hours in waiting to catch a fish or two.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">When I compare my early memories of Poti with what I saw after 15 years, not much seems to have changed. Rusted gates, streets covered with gravel, unfinished buildings, kids playing in an old car frame, elderly women sitting at the entrance of their houses, everything seems to be just like it was. Nobody swam in the sea in that time and neither do they do now. People lead exactly the same sort of life as they did, waiting in abeyance for a miracle to happen.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">I am dedicating my photos to the people of Poti who are friendly, always ready to share their food with you and never refuse to pose for photo in a funny way.</span></p>

<p><span style="color: #c0c0c0;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Anka Gujabidze was born in 1987 in Georgia, Tbilisi. Following the graduation from College of Media, Advertising and TV Arts, where she obtained a diploma of Journalist, she continued to study at the Shota Rustaveli Theatre and Film University. Recently she finished her diploma work (short animation film <em>Excluded</em>) and is soon expected to be awarded B.A. degree in Animation Directing.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Alongside her academic education she has been deeply interested in Photography and since 2003 has collected a portfolio encompassing several projects. In the period 2007-2009 Anka attended classes at the private Photography School “Sepia”, established by the Association of Documentary Photographers of Georgia.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Anka is committed to documentary photography, whereas social issues are what interest her the most. Her works have been shown in various student group exhibitions in Georgia. In 2006 her photo ‘Friends’ was awarded the Grand Prix at the Photo contest Kolga, and later in 2010 the project presented above won the Third Prize of the contest.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Anka is fluent in Georgian, English and Russian.</span></div>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #870f0f;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Photography could not exist without light. This workshop will make you know-understand-dominate light in photography. Outdoor with natural light, indoor inventing one’s own light, we will mix natural light and artificial light or the opposite, and we will make up new ways to lighten a scene.<br />
For a portrait, a nude, a still-life an architectural shot alike, the light will be the reading point of our Tuscany workshop.<br />
We will shoot photographs both outdoor and in a photo studio equipped with professional flash lights, hot- light, softboxes, projectors, ring lights; we will use all type of formats from the 20&#215;36 to the large format, also using Imacon digital back. Students will have the chance to produce a photographic project and apply the lightning techniques learned during the week.<br />
This workshop is not only a technical one, they will also learn how to use the photographic light in a creative way, in order to make one’s image personal and interesting.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Claudio Amadei</span></strong><span style="color: #c0c0c0;"> has worked as a photographer since 1984. He mostly produces still life images destined for commercial publications. In 1995 he published his first book In Deep. In 1996 he discovered the HOLGA camera. In the year 2000 he shot a great Italian event, the famous race of vintage cars (Mille Miglia) through the lens of a HOLGA, publishing E’ Corsa, which is presented by Grazia Neri and Maurizio Rebuzzini. Amadei had a show called HOLGA Mon Amour. He published Carte du Ciel, in collaboration with RT Arte. He has just published a new book, Romagna.</span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #870f0f;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Senza luce non ci può essere la fotografia. Questo workshop vi farà conoscere-comprendere-dominare la luce in fotografia.<br />
In esterno con luce naturale, in studio inventando la propria luce: mescoleremo la luce naturale a quella artificiale o il contrario e inventeremo nuovi modi di illuminare una scena. Sia che si tratti di un ritratto un nudo, uno still-life o un&#8217;architettura, la luce sarà la chiave di lettura del nostro lavoro in Toscana.<br />
Scatteremo fotografie sia in esterno che in uno studio fotografico attrezzato con flash professionali, luce continua, bank, proiettori, ring-lights, utilizzeremo tutti i formati fotografici dal 20&#215;36 al banco ottico e un dorso digitale Imacon.<br />
I partecipanti avranno la possibilità di ideare e realizzare un progetto fotografico in cui applicare le tecniche di illuminazione imparate. Questo workshop non è solo tecnico ma vi in segnerà ad utilizzare in maniera creativa la luce fotografica in modo da rendere personali ed emozionanti le proprie immagini.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Claudio Amadei</span></strong><span style="color: #c0c0c0;"> fotografa dal 1984.

<p align="center"><span style="color: #cfcfcf;"><strong>‘Under Gods’</strong></span></p>
<p align="center"><span style="color: #cfcfcf;"><strong>Stories from the Soho Road</strong></span></p>
<p align="center"><span style="color: #cfcfcf;"><strong> </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #cfcfcf;">I grew up as the daughter of two Anglican priests in Birmingham,<strong> </strong>one of the UK’s most culturally diverse cities where over 90 different nationalities now live. I was the only white child in my nursery class. I ate Indian treats at friends’ birthday parties and attended Sikh festivals in the local park.  After traveling abroad and living in various other cities I became aware of the particularity of my upbringing. I developed an interest in the growth of multi-faith communities in European inner city contexts, and the attendant issues of immigration, secularism and religious revival.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #cfcfcf;">Between 2007-2009, I explored the two-mile stretch of Soho Road in Birmingham, to document and celebrate the rich diversity of religions that co-exist there, and the reality and intensity of their different lifestyles. I lived with and visited the different religious communities, including Thai, Sri Lankan and Vietnamese Buddhists, Rastafarians, the Jesus Army evangelical Christians, Sikhs, Catholic nuns and Hare Krishna’s. The lively bus journeys along Soho Road on a Sunday were always insightful. They took Christian individuals to church congregations meeting in a tent in the local park or a school gym hall. Converted Iranian Jesus Army members in multi-coloured camouflage print outfits could be found sitting next to Jamaican-born ladies boasting decorative hats. I would hear Muslim girls sitting at the back speaking loudly about the latest fashions of the veil, whilst I chatted with Hare Krishna devotees on their way to central Birmingham to distribute books.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #cfcfcf;">This work is a result of my own journey along Soho Road. I investigated what the people on the street believe their religion to be rather than what is prescribed by religious leaders or by the texts. For I see that faiths are interpreted differently depending on time, place and person. At a time when religion can breed unnecessary fear and prejudice through misunderstanding, with my photographs I hope to reveal what it can bring to everyday inner-city life.</span></p>

<p><span style="color: #cfcfcf;">Il Toscana Photographic Workshop propone una borsa di studio per onorare la memoria di Alexandra Boulat, che per tanti anni ha insegnato al TPW, e permettere ad un giovane fotografo/a di età non superiore ai 35 anni, di frequentare uno dei corsi estivi al TPW.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #cfcfcf;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #cfcfcf;">La bosrsa di studio comprende la tuition fee (ma non il vitto e alloggio). Sono escluse le spese di viaggio.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #cfcfcf;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #cfcfcf;">Per partecipare alla selezione è necessario inviare, entro e non oltre il 30 aprile 2012, la vostra selezione a <a href="mailto:info@tpw.it">info@tpw.it</a> utilizzando WE TRANSFER e con il vostro nome e il titolo AB SCHOLARSIP 2012</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #cfcfcf;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #cfcfcf;">Selezionate da 1 a 3 progetti di 15-25 foto cadauno (100 dpi, lato lungo 1200), i vostri dati, curriculum vita e descrizione dei progetti e didascalie.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #cfcfcf;"> Il vincitore sarà annunciato il 31 Maggio 2012. </span></p>

<h5><span style="color: #ae1122;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Tuscany 2010 &#8211; Anghiari, June 20-26</span></span></h5>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">This workshop is dedicated to those who are approaching digital photography for the first time and want to start on “the right foot”, and also to those who already work in digital and would like to have a more complete vision of the possibilities offered by this medium.<br />
The workshop will be distributed equally between a theoretical approach and a practical, hands-on side, where students will have the possibility to shoot images that will be later re-worked in the digital lab. In this way, you will always have new files to work on and you will also have the possibility to produce images of the landscape, countryside, and villages. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Topics: Basic notions of photography in general<br />
Analogic and Digital photography<br />
Basics on digital imaging<br />
How a digital camera works &#8211; Camera Settings<br />
The Digital darkroom<br />
Importing and adjusting digital images<br />
Working on Images using Adobe Photoshop Elements<br />
Storage and archival procedures for digital images<br />
Sharing, publishing and printing<br />
Images for Social Networks</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Giuseppe Andretta has been working in photographic techniques since 1980. He started working entirely with digital in 1996, and is now recognized as ACI (Adobe Certified Instructor).<br />
He works for Apple, Adobe, X-Rite, Nikon, and Wacom e Hasselblad as a consultant.  He was the X-Rite European Testimonial in 2009.  He publishes a blog on news in digital photography and writes for Applicando and Italia Grafica.  He teaches workshops in schools, colleges, and photographic centers all over Italy. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">___________________________________________________________</span></p>
<h5><span style="color: #ae1122;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Tuscany 2010 &#8211; Anghiari, 20-26 Giugno<br />
</span></span></h5>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Questo corso è dedicato a chi si avvicina alla fotografia digitale per la prima volta e vuole partire con “il piede giusto”, e anche a chi già lavora in digitale e vuole avere una visione più completa delle possibilità offerte da questo mezzo. Il workshop sarà equamente distribuito tra una parte teorica,e una pratica nella quale si potranno scattare le immagini che saranno poi soggetto della elaborazione in laboratorio.<br />
In questo modo si lavorerà sempre su files nuovi, appena scattati tenendo conto delle esigenze del digitale.<br />
Photoshop Elements è uno strumento di facile comprensione, che permetterà a tutti di lavorare le proprie immagini e prepararle per la condivisione.<br />
</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Nel corso del workshop saranno affrontati I seguenti temi: </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Concetti di base delle fotografia in generale<br />
Differenze tra fotografia analogica e digitale<br />
Nozioni di base sull&#8217;immagine digitale<br />
Come funziona una fotocamera digitale e impostazioni<br />
La camera oscura digitale<br />
Scaricare e manipolare le immagini digitali<br />
Elaborare le immagini con Adobe Photoshop Elements<br />
Conservare e archiviare le immagini digitali<br />
Condivisione, pubblicazione e social networking per fotografi<br />
Oltre, naturalmente , a concetti generale su estetica e composizione.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Giuseppe Andretta si occupa di fotografia e tecniche fotografiche dagli anni &#8216;80. Si è dedicato completamente al digital imaging nel 1996 e, dopo anni di studio ed esperienza, viene riconosciuto da Adobe, come uno degli istruttori italiani in Photoshop (ACI, Adobe Certified Instructor).<br />
Collabora, come consulente esterno, con aziende come Apple, Adobe, X-Rite, Nikon, Wacom e Hasselblad. Essendo esperto di gestione digitale del colore, X-Rite lo ha riconosciuto, nel 2009, come testimonial europeo.<br />
Da anni tiene un blog aggiornato sulle principali novità della fotografia digitale. Scrive anche articoli per riviste specializzate come Applicando e Italia Grafica. Ha insegnato, prestato consulenze e tenuto seminari, in tutta Italia, nelle principali scuole, centri di fotografia e manifestazioni/workshop fotografici italiani.</span></p>

<h6><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Passion &amp; Profession 2012 </strong></span></h6>
<h6><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Porfolio review with International Experts</strong></span></h6>
<h6><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Bologna, June 21-24 2012</strong></span></h6>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>The complete list of experts attending will be published in early spring</strong></span></p>
<p>During its first four years, the <strong>Passion &amp; Profession</strong> project has brought aspiring photographers into contact with the professional world of photography. Although many people are attracted to becoming professional photographers, they often don’t know in which direction to take their first steps.</p>
<p><strong>Passion &amp; Profession</strong> is the ideal place to get in contact with the world of professional photography, in two different ways:</p>
<p>1)  by meeting experts, who will examine your work and will suggest the best route to follow, how to do it, and also provide creative judgments on your existing work in progress</p>
<p>2)   by showing your work and projects to photo-editors from various magazines, who might be interested in publishing it. This has happened in the past reviews</p>
<p><strong>Passion &amp; Profession</strong> is aimed at photographers as well as everyone interested in working in the photographic industry as photo-editors, in post-production, as curators and art-directors.</p>
<p>During three days there will be more than 200 sessions with different experts, to review your portfolios, talk about job opportunities, and future developments for your career. Each session will last 30 minutes and will be held individually. You can register on line and choose the experts you want to meet with.</p>
<p>Our portfolio reviews provide the perfect opportunity to find your way within the photographic world.</p>
<p>The Passion &amp; Profession Porftolio reviews will provide you with many benefits:</p>
<p>•  by making a small investment (registration and room and board for 2/3 days) you will be able to understand immediately what the market has to offer you.</p>
<p>•  rather than trying to fix appointments with different experts across Europe, from Milan to London to Paris (which might turn out as extremely frustrating!) you will be able to meet all the people you need to meet in one place, as well as other like minded people as you.</p>
<p>•  think of the time and money you save!</p>
<p>I am certain that investments in career development are as important as investing in new equipment.</p>
<p>In addition to your individual portfolio reviews, there will also be, during Passion &amp; Profession 2012, several 2 hours seminars on different topics with different experts (photographers, photo-editors, post-production managers, e-magazines editors) who will speak about their experience. There will also be several mini-workshops on more technical aspects of photography.</p>
<p>We are also planning a Passion &amp; Profession Open Night, an evening with slide shows and open portfolio reviews in an informal setting. You will have the possibility to meet and exchange opinions with professional photographers, the experts and the other participants.</p>
<p>Once again, far from the day to day stress of our cities, it will be possible to concentrate solely on photography and your future career. This is, after all, what TPW has been doing for 20 years…</p>
<p>We will give you more specific information on location, the list of experts invited and how to register on line in the next few months.</p>

<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"> </span></p>
<h6><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Lettura Portfolio con esperti internazionali.</strong></span></h6>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"> </span></p>
<h6><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Bologna 21-24 Giugno 2012</strong></span></h6>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>La lista completa degli esperti sarà pubblicata a Primavera.</strong></span></p>
<p>Il progetto Passion &amp; Profession ha portato, nelle sue prime 4 edizioni, aspiranti fotografi a contatto con il mondo professionale della fotografia.</p>
<p>Quella del fotografo è una professione che attira molte persone, ma spesso non si sa in quale direzione muovere i primi passi.</p>
<p>Questi incontri di <strong>letture di portfolio</strong> rappresentano il momento ideale per entrare in contatto con il mondo della fotografia professionale, e  offrono due possibilità:</p>
<p>1) incontrare esperti del settore che possono indicarci come affrontare il mondo della professione e le “regole” per farlo, e fornirvi un aiuto creativo per i vostri progetti fotografici  in via di definizione.</p>
<p>2) potere mostrare i nostri progetti fotografici a photo editor di importanti testate, che possono a loro volta essere interessati a pubblicare il vostro lavoro, come già è successo in passato.</p>
<p>Gli incontri sono dedicati ai fotografi,  ma anche a tutti coloro che sono interessati a lavorare nel mondo della fotografia come photo-editor, tecnico di post-produzione, curatori, art-director di mostre e agenzie.</p>
<p>Le <strong>letture di portfolio</strong> sono l’occasione ideale per verificare in tempi brevi come muoversi in questo mondo, dove non esistono percorsi predefiniti.</p>
<p>Pensate  ai vantaggi di frequentare <strong>Passion &amp; Profession</strong>:</p>
<p>•  con un investimento contenuto (iscrizioni alle letture di portfolio e soggiorno per i 2/3 giorni di Passion &amp; Profession ) potete capire subito quali prospettive sono disponibili</p>
<p>•  pensate che invece di fissare appuntamenti, e muovervi tra i centri dell’editoria europea, Milano Parigi e Londra (il che può essere molto frustrante!) potete trovare gli esperti di cui avete bisogno concentrati in un unico luogo, insieme ad altre persone come voi e con le vostre aspettative</p>
<p>• pensate infine al tempo e denaro risparmiato.</p>
<p>Personalmente, penso che un investimento in questo senso sia valido come quello sull’acquisto dell’attrezzatura…</p>
<p>Nei prossimi mesi vi daremo informazioni sulla location, sugli esperti che interverranno, su come prenotare le sessioni on-line</p>
<p>Nell’ambito di P&amp;P 2012, oltre alle letture portfolio individuali, della durata di 30 minuti ciascuna, si terranno inoltre <strong>seminari di due ore,</strong> su diversi aspetti legati alla fotografia professionale e non, alcuni  mini-workshop su aspetti più tecnici; stiamo anche organizzando una <strong>P&amp;P Open Night</strong>, un momento da passare insieme: <strong>proiezioni, incontri informali, consigli, scambi di idee, contatti professionali….</strong></p>
<p>Ancora una volta, lontano dallo stress della routine nelle nostre città, ci sarà modo di vivere la fotografia in modo intenso, di concentrarsi unicamente sul nostro interesse e future carriere. Quello che, dopotutto, il TPW fa da quasi 20 anni…</p>

<h6><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Sicily 2012 •  June  9-16</span></span></h6>
<p>In 2012 we will offer two workshops with Settimio Benedusi</p>
<p>This one, in Sicily, on <strong>HOW</strong> to shoot a professional beauty assignment</p>
<p>The second, in Tuscany, on <strong>WHY</strong> take photographs</p>
<p>Two different paths, with different goals but both born with same idea: to help you become a better photographer, from a technical and aesthetic point of view.</p>
<p>“This is not a traditional workshop: it will be an assignment, a challenge“.</p>
<p>This will be a technical workshop, to teach you how to photograph and to get the same results as Settimio on Sports Illustrated and Sportweek Dreams photo-sessions.</p>
<p>You will learn how to work with models, how to photograph them using the right light, location, make-up and with the correct use of post-production…</p>
<p>The final goal of this workshop is to provide all the all technical information and the tools you need on a photo session in order to finalize an assignment for a specific client.</p>
<p>We will work with a team: models, make-up artist, hair-stylist, assistants…using the wonderful light and locations of South Sicily, we will be able to create the right atmosphere for your shoot.</p>
<p>The workshop is for photographers who want to specialize in portrait, body and fashion adding a particular and personal touch.</p>
<p>Every participant with work individually with the model(s). There will never be a situation with more that one student shooting at the same time. Settimio will spend time individually with each student, first to plan the shooting, and then to actually do it.</p>
<p>This workshop requires a good knowledge of computer skills (such as editing software, use of Photoshop etc) so that you will be able to concentrate more on the shooting</p>

<p>BIOGRAPHY</p>
<p><strong>Settimio Benedusi </strong>was born in Italy forty-six years ago. Now he lives in Milan where he also runs his photographic studio.<br />
He had his first camera when he was 12 years old and from that moment he was just thinking about taking the perfect picture, using beauty, emotions and feeling.<br />
He is a professional photographer for 20 years now and travelled all over the world, working for many magazines (GQ, Max, Vogue, Cosmo, Marie Claire, Sports Illustrated and Elle…) and so many clients (Versace, Fila, Armani and Swatch…).<br />
Settimio is a beauty hunter, he looks at the subject and shoots – ‘that’s the only way for fixing moments that otherwise would be gone like tears in the rain’<br />
He also likes to write about photography on his blog (<a href="http://www.benedusi.it/blog">http://www.benedusi.it/blog</a>) and on the “Corriere della Sera”, the major Italian newspaper, web site (<a href="http://photobackstage.corriere.it/">http://photobackstage.corriere.it/</a>).</p>

<h6><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Sicilia  2012 •  9-16  Giugno</span></span></h6>
<p><span style="color: #bcbcbc;">Nel 2012 sono proposti due workshop di Settimio Benedusi.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #bcbcbc;">Il primo, in Sicilia, sul <strong>COME</strong> si realizza un servizio fotografico professionale.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #bcbcbc;">Il secondo, in Toscana, sul <strong>PERCHE’</strong> si fotografa.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #bcbcbc;">Due diversi percorsi con finalità e intenti molto diversi tra loro ma entrambi nati con il medesimo desiderio di migliorare in maniera pratica e concreta la qualità dei progetti fotografici dei partecipanti.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #bcbcbc;">“Ciò che andremo a fare non sarà un workshop tradizionale, ne’sarà un allenamento o una simulazione: sarà un assignment, una sfida, una realtà”</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #bcbcbc;">Sarà quindi un corso estremamente tecnico, per cercare di insegnare come fotografare per raggiungere i risultati ottenuti da Benedusi sui set di Sports Illustrated e Sportweek Dreams: come quindi far apparire sensuale ed accattivante il corpo di una modella, attraverso l’uso della tecnica, delle luci, delle location, del trucco/capelli, della postproduzione…insomma di tutto quanto viene normalmente usato sul set di un vero, reale e concreto servizio fotografico per un cliente. Il fine ultimo e concreto di questo workshop è fornire ai partecipanti le precise conoscenze tecniche per raggiungere i risultati dei miei lavori realizzati per riviste e cataloghi.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #bcbcbc;">Nel corso del workshop avremo un team a nostra disposizione: modelle, truccatori e hair stylist, assistenti…usando le affascinanti location della Sicilia Sud-Orientale, saremo in grado di creare l’atmosfera ideale per uno shooting.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #bcbcbc;">Il percorso è rivolto soprattutto a chi vuole imparare a realizzare dei servizi fotografici che vadano al di là della semplice piacevolezza estetica, che vadano al di là della semplice “bella” fotografia, che vadano al di là della giusta e corretta esposizione…ma che invece arrivino a raccontare la nostra, e della modella, verità.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #bcbcbc;">Lo scopo di ogni partecipante del workshop sarà arrivare all’ultimo giorno con una propria storia realizzata. Come se fosse un vero e proprio lavoro. Per raggiungere questo risultato prima, insieme a Settimio, si penserà esattamente cosa fare e perché, poi ogni partecipante fotograferà, da solo (assistito da Settimio e dagli altri fotografi) e in piena autonomia, la modella. NON ci saranno quindi mai e poi mai le situazioni con la modella fotografata da venti persone.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #bcbcbc;">Il workshop è riservato a fotografi con già consolidate basi tecniche, affinché le lezioni possano focalizzarsi sullo stile e sulla qualità.</span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #bcbcbc;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><strong>Settimio Benedusi </strong>è nato in Italia quarantasei anni fa. Ora vive a Milano, dove si trova anche il suo studio fotografico.<br />
La sua prima macchina fotografica gli viene regalata all’età di 12 anni e da quel momento il suo obiettivo è fare la foto ‘perfetta’ cercando di usare la bellezza e le emozioni. Settimio è un fotografo professionista da oltre 20 anni, ha viaggiato in tutto il mondo scattando per tante riviste (GQ, Max, Vogue, Cosmo, Marie Claire, Sports Illustrated ed Elle…) e per innumerevoli clienti di pubblicità (Versace, Fila, Armani, Swatch…) Settimio insegue la bellezza, sempre. Inquadra il soggetto e scatta “questo è l’unico modo per immortalare i  momenti che altrimenti verrebbero persi come lacrime nella pioggia”. Settimio inoltre scrive di fotografia sul suo blog  e sul sito del “Corriere della Sera”, il più importante quotidiano italiano.<span style="color: #ff0000;"> </span></span></span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #b5000a;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;"><strong>TPW CLASSIC</strong> are the workshops that we have been running since the beginning of TPW in 1994 : 1 or 2 weeks of full immersion into the genre  of photography you like. We will all live at the Monastery of Sant’Anna in Camprena, where we share classes,  slide-shows, meals, night long chats…<br />
World reknown photographers have been coming  here for years, sharing their experience with our students.

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #b5000a;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">We started our workshops outside Tuscany back in 2000, with our first workshop in Sicily…since then, every year we have added new locations: Rome, Venice, Naples, Genova…and in recent years, India, Transylvania, Istanbul… the coming autumn we will run our first workshop in the US, in Mississippi…Why moving from Tuscany? Well, there our participants learn how to improve their vision, in a wonderful setting , far from the madding crowd…But very often they ask us to go to places where they can apply what they have learned at TPW…can you imagine anything more at the extremis as a quiet valley of Tuscany and the crowded traffic of Kolkata or Naples? Jump from daily life of a village with 300 people, to a city with over 15 millions? How to compare the silence of the Monastery and the villages around it, to the villages of Transylvania? And it is also a good way to travel, discover new place,  with the company of other who share the same passion, under the guidance of an expert photographer and our staff…</span></span></span></p>

<h5><span style="color: #b5000a;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Destination Workshops</span></span></h5>
<p><span style="color: #990000;"><strong> </strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #b5000a;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Abbiamo iniziato i workshop fuori dalla Toscana nel 2000, con il nostro primo viaggio in Sicilia. Da allora, abbiamo aggiunto ogni anno nuove location. Roma, Venezia, Napoli, Genova.. e più recentemente, India, Transilvania, Istanbul, e dal prossimo autunno lanceremo anche il nostro primo workshop negli USA, nel Mississippi, alla ricerca delle radici della musica blues…<br />
Perché uscire dalla Toscana? Lì i partecipanti ai nostri corsi imparano a migliorare la loro vision, in un ambiente meraviglioso, lontani dalla folla impazzita….Ma spesso ci chiedono di andare in luoghi dove possono applicare sul campo quello che hanno imparato al TPW…potete immaginare niente di più agli estremi che  di una vallata della Toscana al traffico intenso di Kolkata? Passare da un paese di 300 abitanti a una città di 15 milioni? Come paragonare il silenzio del Monastero ai villaggi della Transilvania o ai venditori di Istanbul?<br />
E poi è un buon modo di viaggiare, scoprire nuovi luoghi in compagnia di persone che condividono la nostra passione e sotto la guida di un esperto fotografo.</span></span></span></p>

<h6><span style="color: #ae1122;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Tuscany 2012 •  July 22-28</span></span></h6>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Tuscany, a place of great beauty,  has become over photographed, and everyone now recognizes its symbols of cypress tree, sunflowers, olives, and hilltop towns.    How do you photograph this cliché ridden area in a new way? How do you see through the compendium of Tuscan images to find your own unique vision? Finally, how do you represent a a specific life-style  by photographing its landscape?</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">In this course each student will take on a mini- project dealing with some aspect of Tuscan (landscape and/or) culture, the goal is &#8221; what do you want to say and how do you want to say it &#8220;.  On the first day of class we will spend the morning looking at a brief sampling of everyone&#8217;s previous  work and after lunch we will head immediately &#8220;into the field&#8221; to start photographing.  Class will consist of field trips and critiques   &#8211; lots of looking at each others work in addition to the work of other contemporary photographers.  This class is open to anyone who has a good working knowledge of their camera and basic photo techniques &#8211; the emphasis will be on content and vision, not technique.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">As a photographer who has spent time over many many  years, photographing in this area, I have a great knowledge of the surroundings to share with the class and I am always trying to solve the same problem &#8211; how to photograph the light and heat and beauty and culture of Tuscany in a way that it surprising.  In this class we will work with many different subject matter ; the class is not only about the landscape, but about everything the landscape contains, so students interested in making portraits, still-lives images, or any kind of image, are welcome.  Our goal is to photograph the life around us in a unique way.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">BIOGRAPHY</span></strong></p>

<h6><span style="color: #ae1122;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Toscana 2012  •  22-28 Luglio </span></span></h6>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #870f0f;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">La Toscana, luogo di grande bellezza, è stata fotografata all’eccesso, e tutti riconoscono i suoi simboli: cipressi, girasoli, oliveti e paesi in cima ai poggi…Come fotografare questa terra piena di cliché in un modo nuovo? Come trovare la tua visione personale tra le tante immagini? </span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #870f0f;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">E infine,  come fotografare uno stile di vita attraverso il paesaggio?</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Durante questo corso ogni studente lavorerà su un progetto che ha che fare con il paesaggio e/o la cultura toscana: l’obiettivo è “dire quello che vuoi nel modo che vuoi”.<br />
Il workshop consiste in riprese sul campo e di critica, visionaremo il lavoro di tutti e anche le opere di altri fotografi contemporanei. Il workshop è per chiunque abbia una buona conoscenza della propria attrezzatura e tecnica di ripresa – sarà incentrato sulla visione fotografica e non sulla tecnica.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Come fotografa che ha passato molti anni in questa area, ho una grande conoscenza dei dintorni, e condividerò con gli studenti i miei luoghi segreti… cerco anch’io di risolvere lo stesso problema: come fotografare la luce, il calore e la bellezza e cultura della Toscana in un modo originale e sorprendente. Lavoreremo con molti soggetti: non solo con il paesaggio, ma con tutto quello che contiene. Quindi, se siete interessati a fare ritratti, still-life o altri tipi di immagini, siete i benvenuti. Vogliamo fotografare la vita che ci circonda in un modo unico.</span></p>

<h6><span style="color: #ae1122;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Tuscany 2012 •  July 22-28</span></span></h6>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">What makes a creative work individual, unique, stylized and personal?  What makes a photograph reflect deeper meanings than the surface of the print?  What separates the great image-makers from the average?  What is in an image that makes that image have a life of it’s own?</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">I believe what makes an image have a life of it&#8217;s own is when it shares a personal point of view.  I believe that each person has a personal history, a personal point of view, and a unique life story.  Successful creators have tapped into that personal view from within one’s own life story.   They have found a way to shape the multifaceted world of their own mind into the two- dimensional world of a photo print.  These successful creators are not afraid to have a point of view of the world and they have chosen to share that point of view in the photograph.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">This workshop is about freeing one’s personal creative spirit from an internal feeling to the printed page.  It is about living more creatively through personal expression as well as about learning to be present in every aspect of life.  It is also about discovering, and unlocking one’s personal mysteries of the mind and heart.  Furthermore, this workshop is about having a clear opinion and learning to express that opinion in a photograph.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">While working with the local Tuscan people, this workshop will help us to learn to express our personal history in the photographic portrait.   Through lectures, critiques, demonstrations and assignments,we will learn to reflect our emotions, feelings, dreams, desire, and our own personal mysteries in our photography.  We will learn to take a portrait of someone else, and create the image of that person as a portrait of ourselves. We will learn to free the endless list of creative ideas housed in our own minds, and place them in our work.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">This is a workshop about possibilities and it will give the power and magic of photography to the creator.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Additional Note for Students:</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">This workshop will give you ample time for personal critiques as well as the class critiques.   Daily I will have visual presentations, discussions and give demonstrations as needed.   Several inspirational presentations reveal many diverse ideas and concepts that help you to realize your potential.  In addition to the time spent with our class as a whole, I have found that the atmosphere of TPW allows for personal attention during the meals as well as during image making time.</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">I encourage students to work on daily assignments both as an individual and in teams.  We will also do some group trips for shooting if it is desired.   The group trips make me available for one on one time during the actual shooting experience while enjoying another Tuscan town.   This time can lead to insightful moments that often unlock creative roadblocks, and free the image-maker to move forward to create more dynamic work.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">I feel strongly that you should travel with the cameras and equipment that you are most comfortable with.  Besides your cameras, you must bring a laptop along with its required cables and software that came with your camera, a card reader, and sufficient flash memory cards.   You must have a working knowledge of the use of all your equipment and of your editing and processing software.  You will be editing your images on your laptop each day after your shoot.  Edited images will be transferred to the “classroom workstation” and projected with an LCD projector for the class critiques.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">One thing to note is that we will only review digital work using Adobe Lightroom or Bridge in Photoshop.  Each day I will help you to edit your images before critiques. Thus it is imperative to have Lightroom or Photoshop and Bridge on your laptop and be familiar with all aspects of how it works</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">If you have any questions, please contact me via e-mail at </span><a href="mailto:paul@paulelledge.com"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">paul@paulelledge.com</span></span></span></span></a><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">.  I look forward to meeting you and spending time with you in Tuscany!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">BIOGRAPHY</span></p>

<h6><span style="color: #ae1122;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Toscana 2012  •  22 -28  Luglio<br />
</span></span></h6>
<p style="font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; color: #000000;" align="justify">
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Che cos’è che rende un lavoro creativo individuale, unico, personale e pieno di stile? Che cos’è che fa sì che una fotografia rifletta non solo la superficie della stampa ma anche un significato più profondo? Che cosa ci rende grandi fotografi? Cosa dà ad una certa immagine una vita propria?</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Credo che un’immagine abbia una vita propria quando riesce a trasmettere un punto di vista personale. Credo che ogni persona abbia un proprio passato, un proprio punto di vista, e una storia assolutamente unica.Gli artisti affermati riescono a sfruttare appieno questa capacità di visone che deriva dal loro  vissuto . Trovano il modo di  dare una forma bidimensionale – la fotografia &#8211; al mondo sfaccettato che li circonda e che percepiscono nella loro mente. Non hanno paura di avere un’opinione sul mondo e di aver scelto di esprimerla con la fotografia. Questo workshop vi porterà a liberare il vostro spirito creativo: dai vostri sentimenti più interiori alla stampa fotografica. Vi porterà a vivere in modo più creativo attraverso la vostra capacità espressiva e imparando ad essere attenti ad ogni aspetto della vita. Scopriremo e sbloccheremo i vostri più intimi misteri, nel cuore e nella mente. Ma soprattutto, con questo workshop imparerete ad avere le idee chiare e ad esprimerle con la fotografia.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Lavoreremo con gli abitanti locali, imparando ad esprimere la nostra storia personale in un ritratto fotografico. La classe sarà impegnata in lectures, critiche quotidiane, dimostrazioni e incarichi, attraverso i quali impareremo a far fluire le nostre emozioni, sentimenti, sogni, desideri e i nostri segreti in una fotografia. Impareremo a fare un ritratto di qualcun altro come se costruissimo l’immagine su noi stessi, liberando l’infinita gamma di idee che abitano la nostra mente e a riporle nel lavoro.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Questo è un workshop sulle possibilità e libererà il potere e la magia della fotografia.</span></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Nota per gli studenti:</span></em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Durante il workhop dedicheremo molto tempo alla critica personale così come alle discussioni in classe. Ogni giorno vi presenterò dei lavori cercando di darvi tutte le dimostrazioni necessarie. Alcune presentazioni ispirate rivelano così tanti  diversi pensieri e  idee che vi aiuteranno a realizzare il vostro potenziale. In più oltre al tempo trascorso con la classe, ho scoperto che l’atmosfera del TPW ispira e rende attenti anche durante i pasti e nei momenti in cui si esce per scattare. Incoraggerò gli studenti a lavorare su progetti ogni giorno, sia in modo individuale che in gruppo. Se la classe lo desidererà, potremo anche fare delle escursioni tutti assieme: questo mi permetterà di lavorare fianco a fianco di ciascuno di voi, mentre potremo godere della visita a altri paesi della Toscana. Ritengo che questi momenti siano molto significativi e che possano spingere  l’artista che c’è in voi a creare lavori più dinamici. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">BIOGRAFIA</span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">The prerequisite for this workshop will be a well-conceived photographic project which is currently in process with about 50% of the images realized, to which the student is committed, and where the student will benefit from work on editing, sequencing and contextualizing&#8211;in terms of text and other concerns&#8211; his or her photographs.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Each student must be prepared to present this project the first day of the workshop, preferably as prints. Students must also be prepared to speak openly, critically and kindly about each others&#8217; work.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">At the same time, in order to refine their editing, sequencing and contextualizing skills, “exercises” exploring the relationship between text and image, and considering context, will be given on a daily basis which will require the students to both photograph and to write. The point and challenge will be to discern what is best told in words, and what is best rendered visually. When should words and images “coexist”? When should they illustrate each other? When should there be a tension between the two, and how shall that tension be exploited? At the same time, we will consider how images impose readings on each other depending upon sequence and juxtapositions.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Students will present their responses to these exercises on a daily basis, each morning, for a class crit. At the same time, we will also continue to work on their larger projects throughout the week. They will have the afternoons to work on both the exercises, and to keep refining their larger projects.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Melissa Harris is Editor-in-Chief of Aperture magazine and editor/curator, selected projects. She teaches at NYU in the Photo and Imaging department at Tisch and at Columbia Journalism School.</span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Il requisito per la partecipazione a questo workshop è di avere un progetto fotografico ben concepito e già in stato avanzato, con il 50% circa di immagini realizzate, al quale lo studente potrà lavorare direttamente nelle tre fasi di scelta, ordinamento e contestualizzazione, eanche in termini di testo e di altri fattori.<br />
Ogni studente dovrà presentare il proprio progetto al primo giorno di workshop, preferibilmente con delle stampe. Gli studenti, dovranno inoltre sentirsi pronti a esprimere le proprie opinioni apertamente e con spirito critico sul lavoro degli altri partecipanti.<br />
Durante il corso, nella prospettiva di migliorare le proprie capacità di scelta, ordinamento e contestualizzazione, verranno assegnati agli studenti esercizi giornalieri per approfondire la connessione tra i testi e le immagini. L’obiettivo e la sfida saranno quelle di distinguere quando è meglio esprimersi con le parole e quando è meglio farlo attraverso l’immagine.<br />
In che momenti fotografie e parole dovrebbero coesistere? In che modo possono illustrare le une i significati delle altre? Quando dovrebbe instaurarsi un rapporto di tensione tra le due e in che modo questa tensione dovrebbe essere sfruttata?<br />
Allo stesso tempo si prenderà in esame come alcuni immagini risultino più forti di altre a seconda della sequenza e delle giustapposizioni.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Gli studenti presenteranno i risultati degli esercizi assegnati ogni mattina per una critica di gruppo.<br />
Si continuerà, inoltre, a lavorare sui loro progetti durante tutta la settimana. I pomeriggi saranno dedicati sia alle esercitazioni, che alla continuazione del progetto personale.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Melissa Harris è caporedattore di Aperture magazine e curatrice per i progetti selezionati.<br />
Insegna al dipartimento di “Photo and Imaging” del Tisch presso l’Università di New York (NYU) e alla scuola di giornalismo della Columbia.</span></p>

<h6><span style="color: #870f0f;"> </span><span style="color: #ae1122"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Tuscany 2011 •  July 24/30<br />
</span></span></h6>
<p align="justify">
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">This workshop will be about photographing a precise area, interpreting, with our photographs, the essence of a place and its people.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">We will move from village to village, between Val di Chiana and Val d’Orcia, stopping at cafés, gas stations, farms, spas, getting to know the people who live there, listening to their talks and photographing their daily life.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Every day we will meet for group critique as well as one-to-one meetings&#8230;and then…on the road again, at different times of the day, to capture the light and the spirit of the place. At the end of the week, students will have a portfolio with fresh images of the Tuscan Way of Life.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">“Photography is not about buying the right lens, nor is it about knowing the right people. It is far more challenging than that. It is about looking at oneself in the mirror sometimes and looking out of the window some other time. Simplicity is always the most difficult thing to achieve. People tend to make things complicated in a way that wastes energy. Energy, flowing naturally, makes for the best art and daily life”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">This class is for advanced photographers who want to learn on an extended essay or for a magazine or  a personal book project.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">David Alan Harvey&#8217;s work deals with the magic of everyday life. A member of Magnum, he has travelled the world shooting more than 30 essays for National Geographic. His ongoing work in the Spanish-speaking world recently brought him to Cuba. The result of these six months photographing this island spread out over a three year period lead to the publishing of several magazine articles as well as &#8220;Cuba&#8221;, a book that is a moving and intimate portrait of Cuba and its people. A show on Cuba was shown at Visa pour l&#8217;Image Festival in Perpignan, as well as in Miami, Havana and New York, and is currently touring the U.S. and Europe. Harvey is currently at work on two new stories for the National Geographic Magazine.</span></p>

</span></span></h6>
<p><span style="color: #870f0f;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Questo Workshop vi porterà a fotografare in una zona precisa , interpretando,  con le vostre foto, l&#8217;essenza  di un posto e dei suoi abitanti.Ci spostertemo di paese in paese, tra la Val di Chiana e la Val d&#8217;Orcia, fermandoci ai caffè, alle stazioni di benzina, nelle fattorie e nelle stazioni termali, nei locali notturni, cercando di conoscere le persone che vi abitano e lavorano, ascoltando le loro storie e fotografando la loro vita quotidiana.Ogni giorno ci incontreremo per la critica sia come gruppo che individualmente.  e poi.. di nuovo on the road, a diverse ore del giorno, per catturare la luce e l&#8217;atmosfera dei posti. Alla fine della settimana, gli studenti avranno a disposizione un portfolio con immagini nuove della vita in Toscana.&#8221;Fotografare non è comprare l&#8217; obbiettivo giusto, neppure conoscere le persone giuste. E&#8217; una sfida molto più importante. A volte si tratta di guardarsi allo specchio, altre volte d i guardare fuori dalla finestra. La semplicità è sempre la  cosa più difficile da raggiungere. Spesso tendiamo  a rendere le cose complicate e sprechiamo energia. Ma l&#8217;energia, che  scorre naturalmente, trasforma al meglio l&#8217;arte e la vita di tutti i giorni.&#8221;Questa classe è per fotografi di livello avanzato, che vogliono imparare a lavorare su un servizio fotografico per una rivista o per un progetto  personale di libro.</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Il lavoro di David Alan Harvey ha a che fare con la magia della vita di tutti i giorni. Membro della Magnum, ha viaggiato in tutto il mondo creando più di trenta composizioni fotografiche per il National Geographic. Il suo più recente lavoro incentrato sul mondo della lingua spagnola è a Cuba. I risultati di sei mesi di lavoro su quest’isola, sono le svariate pubblicazioni di articoli su riviste internazionali, e la pubblicazione di Cuba, un libro che è un commovente ed intimo ritratto di Cuba e della sua gente. Una mostra su Cuba è stata esposta al Visa pour L’image Festival di Perpignan, come anche a Miami, in Havana e New York; la stessa mostra sta inoltre viaggiando tra USA ed Europa. Harvey è al momento sta lavorando a due nuovi progetti per il National Geographic Magazine.</span></p>

<h5><span style="color: #ae1122;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Mississippi 2010 &#8211; Clarksdale, Sept 24-Oct 2</span></span></h5>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #870f0f;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">My motto when choosing a new workshop to offer to TPW friends is “ I always offer a workshop that I would like to take myself”, and this is true for every workshop that TPW has run in all these years.<br />
This particular workshop goes beyond this motto: my passion for photography meets my passion for music, and for blues in particular. This unique workshop is addressed to photographers who love blues and want to explore the area where this music started, meet local people and musicians, drive and get lost in the Delta Landscape, rediscover your soul on the biggest river in North America and getting muddy on the mighty Mississippi river, and meet at the Crossroads…<br />
Rex Miller, who published “the book” on Blues in the late 90’s, “All the Blues Gone”, will be the teacher, conductor, maestro of this workshop. What better leader? (see below)<br />
We will be based in Clarksdale, Mississippi, the birthplace of the blues.<br />
This is where Muddy Waters lived before moving to Chicago, where musicians such as John Lee Hooker, Ike Turner, and Charlie Patton came from, where Robert Johnson met the devil at the Crossroads of Hwy 61 &amp; 49.<br />
During the week, we will explore the places nearby, meet people, visit juke joints where live music is played every night and meet the musicians and the bands…<br />
Other local friends – and I have already made a few that are all very excited to be involved in this project – will help us during this workshop and show us the real life along the Delta….<br />
Be prepared for a very busy week, where you will discover  places that are not included in the traditional tourist tours, and you will meet people that will tell you stories of a long time ago…</span></span></span></p>

<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">All the Blues Gone</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">By Rex Miller</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #870f0f;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">The delta of the Mississippi river is the origin of traditional blues : harmonicas, guitar and voices that cry of sorrow and tribulation. Yet as the river flows relentlessly south, the blues and its musicians have moved north and beyond, creating such tributaries as Chicago Blues, Rock and Roll, Jazz and Rap. All the Blues Gone return to the source, giving the world a treasured musical legacy from the soul of African-American culture.<br />
In the tradition of the great folklorist Alan Lomax, photographer Rex Miller has worked years in Mississippi, building an intimate picture of Delta Musicians, their lives shaped by generations of farm work, from slavery to through sharecropping through the inner-city problems that have now come to rural Mississippi.<br />
All the Blues Gone is not a catalogue of musical history. It is a glimpse into the culture and traditions that created this music, as seen through the lives of some of its practitioners.  Miller’s dramatic photographs honour the vitality of DELTA life…the cotton fields where blues began as hollers and chants; the porches where blues deepened in the cool of evenings; he juke joints where blues wail until morning; the infamous Parchman Penitentiary where blues live in fear and loneliness.<br />
Here are the men and women who have local fame and national obscurity: John Hurt,Jr., son of Mississippi John Hurt: Roosevelt “Booba” Barnes, James “Son” Thomas and Ms.Z.L.Hill, Delta legends who have recently passed away. All the Blues Gone is part of a multimedia exhibition that has toured galleries, museums, universities, festivals and performance spaces nationally and overseas. </span></span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #870f0f;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">The exhibition is comprised of:<br />
photographic murals (framed in wood from sharecropper’s shack)<br />
a DVD soundtrack of music and storytelling<br />
an installation of projected images w/soundtrack<br />
educational programming<br />
All the Blues Gone<br />
Photographed, written and produced by Rex Miller<br />

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #870f0f;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;"><strong>Biography</strong><br />
Rex Miller was born and raised in New York City, where he started commuting to school from Astoria, Queens to Manhattan on the subway at age 8, which he&#8217;s sure honed his love of observing human nature, not to mention danger and adventure.<br />
A documentary and editorial photographer for the past 25 years, his clients have included ABC News, American Express, Atlantic Records, Calvin Klein, CBS, Forbes, John Kennedy, Jr., McDonald&#8217;s, Musician, Newsweek, New York Magazine, The New York Times, Nickelodeon, the Robin Hood Foundation, Rolling Stone, Spin, Sony Music, and Time.<br />
In 1997 Miller completed &#8220;All The Blues Gone&#8221;, a hardcover book/CD package documenting Mississippi blues culture. &#8220;All The Blues Gone&#8221; has been widely exhibited in the U.S. and overseas.<br />
In 2004, Miller completed directing and producing the Documentary Short film (30 mins), I&#8217;M WALKIN&#8217;: A Journey Through Parchman. The film chronicles the 10-year incarceration of Mitchell Pendelton, a Chicago-born blues musician, at Mississippi&#8217;s infamous Parchman Penitentiary, a former plantation for runaway slaves.<br />
His documentary feature film, &#8220;SOMAY KU: A Uganda Tennis Story&#8221;, premiered on The Tennis Channel in November 2008. It was awarded &#8220;Best Documentary&#8221; at the Malibu Film Festival (2008)<br />

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #870f0f;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Il mio motto quando scelgo un nuovo workshop da proporre per il TPW è   “Voglio offrire un workshop che avrei piacere di frequentare personalmente”. E questo è stata una parola che ho mantenuto in tutti questi anni di TPW<br />
Questo workshop in particolare va ben oltre: la mia passione per la fotografai si unisce alla mia passione  per la musica e per il blues in particolare.<br />
Questo workshop, unico nel suo genere, è per i fotografi che amano il blues e vogliono esplorare l’area da cui questa musica prende le origini, incontrare gente  del luogo e musicisti, guidare e perdersi nel Delta del Mississippi, riscoprire la propria  anima lungo le sponde del maggior fiume americano, il Grande Mississippi. incontrarsi al Crossroads….<br />
Rex Miller, che ha pubblicato All The Blues Gone, IL libro sul blues, sarà il nostro insegnante, conduttore d’orchestra, maestro di questo workshop. Quale persona è più indicata di lui?<br />
(vedi sotto)<br />
Il centro del nostro workshop è Clarksdale, il luogo di nascita del blues.<br />
Qui è dove Muddy Waters viveva prima di trasferirsi a Chicago, da dove provengono musicisti come John Lee Hooker, Ike Turner, and Charlie Patton e dove di dice che il bluesman Robert Johnson abbia firmato il patto col diavolo alla Crossroad delle Highway 61&amp;49….<br />
Durante la settimana, esploreremo i  luoghi nelle vicinanze, faremo amicizia con  la gente del luogo, ci fermeremo nelle bettole dove si fa musica dal vivo ogni sera e incontreremo i musicisti e le loro bands….<br />
Altri amici locali &#8211;  ne ho già parecchi, tutti molto curiosi e interessati a questo progetto fotografico – ci aiuteranno durante questo workshop e ci mostreranno la vera vita lungo il Delta…<br />
Aspettatevi una settimana molto piena,  dove scoprirete luoghi che non fanno parte dei giri turistici, e incontrerete persone pronte a raccontarvi storie di un passato non tropo lontano…</span></span></span></p>

<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">All the Blues Gone</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">By Rex Miller </span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #870f0f;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Il Delta del Mississippi è all’origine del blues tradizionale: armoniche, chitarre e voci che  urlano di tristezze e sofferenze. Tuttavia, mentre il fiume scorre inarrestabile verso sud, i suoi musicisti  si sono spostati a nord e oltre, creando il Chicago Blues, Rock &amp; Roll, Jazz e Rap. <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">All the Blues Gone</span></strong> torna alle origini, dando al mondo un eredità musicale dal cuore della cultura Afro-Americana. Seguendo la tradizione del folklorista Alan Lomax, il fotografo  di Rex Miller ha lavorato per anni in Mississippi, costruendo una visione intima e privata dei musicisti del Delta, e delle loro vite fatte di anni passati nei campi, dalla schiavitù alla raccolta del cotone, attraverso i problemi delle città che adesso sono arrivati all’interno del Mississippi.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #870f0f;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">All the Blues Gone</span></strong> non è un catalogo di storia musicale. È uno sguardo nella cultura e tradizione che hanno creato questa musica, vista attraverso gli occhi di alcuni suoi partecipanti. Le drammatiche fotografie di Miller rendono onore alla vitalità della vita sul Delta…dei campi di cotone dove il blues ha iniziato come <em>hollers</em> e <em>chants</em>, ai portici dove il blues si diffondeva  nelle notti, alle bettole dove il blues si lamenta fino all’alba e alll’ingloriosa prigione di Parchman dove in blues vive tra paura e solitudine…<br />
Qui ci sono gli uomini e le donne che  godono di fama localee sono ignorati a livello nazionale_ John Hurt,Jr., figlio di  Mississippi John Hurt: Roosevelt “Booba” Barnes, James “Son” Thomas and Ms.Z.L.Hill, leggende del Delta che sono recentemente scomparse….</span></span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #870f0f;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">All the Blues Gone</span></strong> fa parte di una mostra  multimediale che ha girato musei, gallerie, università in USA e Europa.</span></span></span></p>

<h5><span style="color: #870f0f;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Kolkata’s Daily Life</span></span></h5>
<h5><span style="color: #870f0f;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">October 10-18</span></span></h5>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #870f0f;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">From the noisy, bustling streets of the major cities to the spectacularly beautiful countryside India is a sight to behold. Generations of visitors have returned home with compelling tales of adventure and unique encounters that live on in their memory.<br />
There are many spectacular locations to be found on the subcontinent but for the real India most of my Indian friends say that Kolkata (formerly Calcutta) is the place to go. Its streets offer up a rich pageant of all that life has to offer. For photographers such a place is a gift; you have only to spend an hour wandering through its streets and you are sure to capture compelling moments that offer an insight into the human condition. Having done this myself, I can definitely say that Kolkata has a lot to offer.We are offering two workshops in one: one on different aspects and differing ways to approach the City of Joy and at the same time we will enjoy the city during Durga Puja, the major festival.Our base will be at the Fairlawn Hotel. Do not expect fancy rooms, but do expect an experience. The Fairlawn is a special place in central Kolkata, a meeting point for artist, writers, journalists and photographers. It will offer the perfect atmosphere for our work.</span></span></span></p>

<h6><span style="color: #ae1122;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Tuscany 2011 •  July 24/30</span></span></h6>
<p>Photojournalism is not about the amount of cameras you carry, neither is it about appearance &#8211; Photojournalism is about Empathy and have something on your mind which has to be told.</p>
<p>During the workshop I will explain how to reduce the &#8220;noise&#8221; in your head &#8211; narrow your story down and make you ready to go out with an energy and a clear mind to</p>
<p>cover the stories you want.</p>
<p>How do you research your story, get in contact with the right people and get close to human beings you have never seen before. Trust is a key issue, and at the end of the day it is all related.</p>
<p><span style="color: #870f0f;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">“Jan Grarup (Danish, b.1968) has over the course of his eighteen-year career photographed many of recent history’s defining human rights and conflict issues. Grarup’s work reflects his belief in photojournalism’s role as an instrument of witness and memory to incite change, and the necessity of telling the stories of people who are rendered powerless to tell their own. His images of the Rwandan and Darfur genocides provide incontrovertible evidence of unthinkable human brutality, in the hope that such events will never happen, or be allowed to happen again. His work, The Boys from Ramallah and The Boys from Hebron, covers both sides of the recent Intifada expressed through the lives of children coming of age amidst the violence. Grarup’s work takes the viewer to the limits of human despair, dignity, suffering and hope. His images are relevant to us all, because they form a chronicle of the time in which we live, but at times do not dare to recognize.<br />
Grarup has been honored with some of the photography industry’s and human rights organization’s most prestigious awards, including two nominations for the W. Eugene Smith memorial fund for humanistic photography, eight World Press Photography awards, a special citation from the Leica Oskar Barnack Award, two UNICEF children’s awards, together with many other awards from POYi and NPPA. He has four times exhibited at VISA POUR L’IMAGE, and has won the VISA D’OR for his coverage of Darfur’s refugee crisis. Grarup has also received awards from press organizations in his native Denmark, including five times picture of the year, and five photographer of the year titles. He has had solo exhibitions in over fifteen countries, and has been a contributor to many books. Jan Grarup has twice been a member of the World Press Joop Swart Masterclass selection jury, and will this year participate as a teaching master.<br />
In 2006, Grarup released SHADOWLAND (Politikens Forlag), a testament of the people who have in times of strife allowed him into their lives. It chronicles twelve years of his work in Kashmir, Sierra Leone, Chechnya, Rwanda, Kosovo, Slovakia, Ramallah, Hebron, Iraq, Iran, and Darfur. It features a forward text by HH the Dalai Lama. His book, Darfur: a silent genocide, will be published this fall by Trolley Press, London.<br />
Grarup&#8217;s work regularly appears in major magazines such as Newsweek, The Guardian, Sunday Times Magazine (UK), Stern, GEO, Paris Match, L’Express, la Repubblica and other magazines worldwide. He lives outside Copenhagen with his wife and their three children. Jan Grarup works as a freelancer on both commercial as journalistic projects. Jan Grarup published his first book Shadowland in 2006. The book won PDN’s Photography Annual 2007 for best photography books (Foto 8 review). </span></span></span></p>
<p>Nel fotogiornalismo non ha importanza quante macchine fotografiche  hai al collo, né il tuo aspetto – è importante invece l’empatia a avere qualcosa in testa che vuoi e devi raccontare….</p>
<p>Durante questo workshop vi spiegherò a come ridurre il “rumore” che avete in testa – a focalizzare il vostro progetto e prepararvi per lanciarsi con energia e la mente  sgombra nella storia che volete realizzare e raccontare….</p>
<p>Come cercare il vostro soggetto, entrare in contatto con le persone giuste  e avvicinarvi a persone che non avete mai visto prima…Fiducia è la parola chiave</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #870f0f;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Questo workshop si concentra su un approccio molto personale alla fotografia. Si richiederà ai partecipanti di trovare &#8211; dentro se stessi &#8211; la propria storia, l&#8217;anima di quello che si vuole mostrare nelle loro immagini. Questo workshop è totalmente concentrato sui contenuti e non sulla parte tecnica.<br />
Lo spirito del workshop è di approdare ad un processo aperto e in progess più che ad un lavoro finito. Voglio iniziare qualcosa con voi, non finirlo.<br />

</span></span></h6>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #870f0f;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">It will not be a workshop on traditional portrait. Antonin will show how, even in the difficult art of portraiture, is possible to show one personal and unique style and interpretation. His photographs of people &#8211; celebrities or common people &#8211; have made him world famous.<br />
You will have to be ready to throw away most of your traditional ideas. Antonin&#8217;s images go beyond document, they speak of emotions and states of mind, both of the photographer and the person photographed.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #888888;">BIOGRAPHY</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Kratochvil won numerous awards, grants and honorable mentions dating back to 1975. The latest of these are the first place prizes at the 2002 World Press Photo Awards in the categories of general news and nature and the environment. The next is the 2004 grant from Aperture publishing. In addition, Kratochvil&#8217;s fifth book Vanishing has been published in 2005 and marked another significant milestone for the craft to which he belongs. In 2001 he founded with other photojournalists the agency VII.</span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #870f0f;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Non sarà un corso di ritratto inteso in senso tradizionale. Kratochvil mostrerà come, anche nel ritratto, si possa riuscire ad avere uno stile unico e personale. Il suo approccio alla fotografia di persone &#8211; famose e non &#8211; fa sì che il suo lavoro sia richiesto dalle più importanti testate internazionali.<br />
Bisognerà essere pronti a stravolgere buona parte dei concetti tradizionali.<br />
Le immagini di Kratochvil si spingono oltre il documentario, ci parlano di emozioni e stati d&#8217;animo, sia del fotografo che del soggetto fotografato.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #870f0f;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;"><br />
BIOGRAFIA</span></span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #870f0f;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Kratochvil ha vinto numerosi premi e menzioni d’onore a partire dal 1975. Gli ultimi due sono stati: nel 2002 il World Press Photo nella categoria general news and nature and the environment e nel 2004 il premio Aperture. Inoltre nel 2005 ha pubblicato il suo quinto libro Vanishing un’altra pietra miliare a dimostrazione della sua grande abilità. Nel 2001, insieme ad altri fotogiornalisti, ha fondato l&#8217;agenzia VII.</span></span></span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">The digital age is giving documentary photographers extraordinary new ways to create and organize your photographic projects. This one week workshop will show how to use the new digital workflow to extend the ability of the visual storyteller. The instructor will share examples of his personal projects and work with National Geographic and other major publications to illustrate the possibilities of photography as a source of passion, personal expression and communicative power. He will discuss how you develop an idea, get access to your subject, determine your objectives and present your work. The objective is to share the passions for photography and inject that spirit into the students. Digital photography is just a new tool and what is most important is to understand the traditions of photography, storytelling, narrative and intimacy so we can integrate these qualities into our work using the new tools at our disposal.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">The students will view the instructor&#8217;s work, outlining the complete process of creating a project from beginning to end. Each student would then be expected to work during the week for class discussion on how to move their work forward.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">“My work has been profoundly effected by the political and social issues of my time. I derive my passionate drive to commit significant time and energy to produce works that are in-depth and personal. My desire is to report on, capture and tell the stories that I believe will impact humanity in the short term and for decades to come.”</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Ed Kashi</span></strong><span style="color: #c0c0c0;"> is a photojournalist, filmmaker and educator dedicated to documenting the social and political issues that define our times. A sensitive eye and an intimate relationship to his subjects are the signatures of his work. Kashi’s complex imagery has been recognized for its compelling rendering of the human condition. Kashi’s images have been published and exhibited worldwide. His innovative approach to photography and filmmaking produced the Iraqi Kurdistan Flipbook. Using stills in a moving image format, this creative and thought-provoking form of visual storytelling has been shown in many film festivals and as part of a series of exhibitions on the Iraq War at The George Eastman House.</span></p>

</span></span></h6>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #870f0f;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">L’era digitale sta dando ai fotografi, soprattutto a queli di reportage, nuove vie per creare e sviluppare i loro progetti fotografici. Questo workshop mostrerà come sfruttare il workflow digitale per espandere la capacità di chi racconta una attraverso le immagini. Ed Kashi mostrerà sia i suoi progetti personali che quelli realizzati per National Geographic e altre grandi riviste, per mostrare la opportunità date dalla fotografia sia come fonte di passione, che come mezzo di espressione personale dal grande potere comunicativo. Spiegherà come sviluppare un’ idea, come avere accesso al soggetto, come determinare il vostro obbiettivo e presentare il vostro lavoro. L’intento è quello di condividere la passione per la fotografia e trasmettere questo spirito agli studenti. La fotografia digitale non è altro che un nuovo strumento, la cosa più importante è capire la fotografia tradizionale, l’arte del raccontare con la fotografia storie private, integrando le nuove tecnologie in questo processo.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Gli studenti osserveranno il lavoro dell’insegnante cercando di comprendere ed estrapolare il processo di sviluppo di un progetto dall’inizio fino alla fine. Verrà chiesto agli studenti di lavorare e preparasi a discutere con tutta la classe di come procede il proprio progetto.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">“Il mio lavoro è stato profondamente influenzato dalle tematiche politiche e sociali dell’epoca in cui vico. La mia motivazione deriva dall’investire tempo ed energia per produrre lavori molto personali e profondi. Il mio desiderio è quello di catturare e raccontare storie che ,abbiano un impatto sull’umanità sia a breve che a lungo termine.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Ed Kashi</span></strong><span style="color: #c0c0c0;"> è un fotogiornalista, filmmaker e insegnante impegnato nella documentazione di temi sociali e politici attuali. Un occhio sensibile e un dellicato rapporto intimo con i suoi soggetti rapprentano lo stile caretteristico dei suoi lavori. L’immaginario complesso di Kashi è stato riconosciuto ed apprezzato per la sua capacità di descrivere la condizione umana. Le sue immagini sono state esposte in tutto il mondo. Il suo approccio innovativo nella fotografia e nel filmmaking lo hanno portato a produrre l’Iraqi Kurdistan Flipbook.Usando immagini fisse e in movimento, questo progetto creativo e provocativo è stato presentato in molti film festival e come parte di mostre sulla guerra in Irak alla George Eastman House.</span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">This course will provide the basic knowledge needed to import still images, video files, audio files, and add titles and text to create an elegant slideshow or eye-catching Multimedia piece. We will discuss the various methods of storytelling and learn how to determine the best method for each unique project. Students will be taught how to work with the media from their digital camera (DSLR, point &amp; shoot, or iPhone etc), video camera, or audio recorder. Basic interview techniques, from how to conduct an interview to pulling sound bites, will also be covered to add a narrative thread and empower the images with life, tone, and texture. The software iMovie, iPhoto, iDvd, and Garage Band will all be used in this class. This course will also cover various methods of exporting for distribution such as web, DVD, or for presentation. “Intro to Multimedia” is a wonderful opportunity for individuals looking to enter the world of digital storytelling.</span></p>
