A five-day masterclass on personal storytelling in Beijing, in partnership with Light Society.

Join Magnum photographer Bieke Depoorter for a five-day masterclass on personal storytelling with photography.

Bieke Depoorter is a photographer who works intimately with her subjects, forming strong bonds or relationships often after chance encounters. She has also produced many projects that question the medium and her position as an outsider, both culturally and as a photographer.
