"On the Road" is a series of workshops, combining spontaneous photography with the joy of the journey. They are organized for a limited number of participants, ranging from professional photographers to curious amateurs. Through the selection and discussion of the best images of the day, the participants will work towards developing their own photographic style, and see their overall approach improve each day. The goal of these workshops is to guide the participants through technical, theoretical and aesthetic issues towards developing their own photographic style.

Situated at a high altitude on the Abyssinian plateau, Addis Ababa (meaning "new flower" in Amharic), is a fast-growing African metropolis. Known for its highland climate with pleasant temperatures, it boasts a magnificent light as well as clarity. The thriving cultural and religious life of the city and the mix of tradition and modernity, offer many photographic opportunities. It also has the largest outdoors market in the world (the Mercato), as well as an interesting cityscape mingling mud-huts with fascist architecture dating back to the Italian occupation against more recent marxist billboards.

Participants are welcome to bring portfolios of past work for review.
