The Master of Reportage Photography
Steve McCurry spent 50 years documenting wars, tragedies, different cultures worldwide, daily life, and the beauty of the moment. He did more than a million photos. McCurry has been recognised with some of the most prestigious awards in the industry, including the Robert Capa Gold Medal, the National Press Photographers Award, and an unprecedented four first-prize awards from the World Press Photo contest. McCurry holds workshops and lectures where he teaches his methods of work. But rarely does anyone get to spend six days with the photographer, as you can do during our journey.
Steve McCurry
Workshop details
Six days full of conversations, learning, and photo shooting in collaboration with inspiring people
During this inspirational week, one of the most ancient countries will reveal its secrets through iconic locations and some hidden gems. Capture significant moments during the workshop showing the technique of street portraits, and learn how to shoot architecture, food and landscape and eventually find ways to tell visual stories through the images.
Georgia is a blessed and ancient land hidden in the mountains between the Black and Caspian seas; a country of friendly and hospitable people, simple and delicious food, rich history, and artefacts standing strong in memory of the Persians and Argonauts. You will immerse yourself in the spirit of ancient churches, monasteries, and traditional courtyards with carved verandas hidden in a labyrinth of narrow winding streets.
Every workshop participant will get immediate feedback about their photography techniques, potential and capacity to interpret the scene, and how they use different photo optics following the final idea.
During the street photo session workshop, you will learn how to:
Make the most of your camera
Correctly approach strangers
Understand your camera’s light meter
Time your shots perfectly
Storytelling, or how to tell a story in a photograph
Work & react quickly
Find the right scene and subject
Autofocus/zone/scale focusing
Composition tips & tricks
Hyperfocal distance
Find good lighting
In the Journey included
6-days workshop with Steve McCurry
Guided tour visits
4* and 5* Hotels Accommodation
Lunch and dinners in the best Georgian restaurants
