Documentary Photography workshop

a one-to-one Documentary Photography workshop

Documentary in Practice

Build a visual story in three months.

A one-to-one experience that is flexible for you.

Most photographers reach a point where technical skill isn’t really the problem anymore.

The challenge is purpose:

  • What should I photograph and why?
  • How do I get access to the stories I want to tell?
  • How do I turn a collection of images into an engaging visual story?

This workshop is designed to answer those questions and I’ll coach you through the process that I use.

By the end of three months you will have:

  • A completed documentary project
  • A clear visual narrative
  • A PDF photo book of your work to share with others
  • The confidence to create more

 

Who is this for?

Anyone who has lost enthusiasm for taking endless photographs without any sense of direction.

Emerging or experienced photographers who want some guidance and support to create a documentary project that has purpose and substance.

About the tutor

Andrew Cameron has worked as a video director and photographer since the 1990s (a long time). He has worked with major global brands helping them to communicate their stories – not advertising or marketing but real stories of social impact, change and celebrating the work they do.

As a recognised specialist in ‘communication and storytelling’ Andrew is a member of faculty for two leading global business schools working around the world to help businesses to build more effective communication campaigns and tell engaging stories.

Andrew’s documentary photography project with young tenant farmers was widely praised and published, and his work with NGOs has helped to raise awareness of issues in the UK and internationally for the organisations he has worked with.

Andrew has always been passionate about documentary photography and the photographers who have, and continue to, bring stories to the attention of the world.

Andrew first started to run the documentary photography workshop three years ago.

“It was an amazing experience, you helped unblock the obstacles in my own head and gave me some great advice which I’ll always remember. I’m still buzzing every time I look at the photo book. Thank you so much.” Alan, Hertfordshire UK
