Join Magnum photographer Patrick Zachmann for a 5-day intensive workshop designed to develop your photographic skillset, in collaboration with Light Society.

Shanghai from November 27th – December 1st 2017, at the Fosun Art Centre

To celebrate Magnum’s 70th Anniversary, Patrick Zachmann will lead a 5 day workshop in Shanghai this November, in partnership with Light Society.

Drawing on the agency’s long history of visual storytelling and photographic practice, Zachmann will share his unique perspective, knowledge and industry advice.

Over the course of five days, the workshop will include a daily programme of shooting, mentoring, lectures, group critiques, and editing sessions, culminating in a final folio of work to be completed by each participant. The programme aims to enable students to develop their ideas and concepts, while also refining their technical skills and approach.

"I believe that when one gains professional experience and artistic practice during several years, to pass on a little bit of know-how is a way to allow young photographers to get what one has taken and learned from others" - Patrick Zachmann

COURSE CONTENT

The masterclass will be held in Shanghai from November 27th – December 1st at the Fosun Art Centre.

Limited to 12 students, the workshop is open to participants worldwide that have intermediate to experienced levels of practice. Students must have a good knowledge of their cameras and be able to bring 15-20 photographs to class for review (jpeg or prints) by Patrick Zachmann. Students will be asked to bring their own laptop and cameras along with a USB stick.
