Magnum Photos and British Journal of Photography are proud to announce the next Professional Practice workshop in our series “Personal Projects - How to develop and finance stories that matter to you”.

Learn how to tell a personal story to engage your audience, how to research your ideas and become an expert in your field, how to fund personal projects, and how to disseminate/distribute your completed project.

Speakers include: Antoine d’Agata (Magnum Photographer), Emma Chetcuti (Director, Multistory), Fiona Rogers (Global Director Business Development, Magnum Photos, Founder, Firecracker), Harry Hardie (Founder, Herepress, Lecturer, London College of Communication and Westminster University).

This two-day photographic masterclass offers participants the chance to learn from Magnum photographers as well as a diverse mix of industry leaders. Each workshop focuses on demystifying an aspect of the industry, establishing a professional network of contacts, understanding the requirements of the market and identifying realistic routes into photographic employment. This unique programme offers highly valuable training opportunities for early & mid-career photographers.

The first day focuses on lectures from speakers about their specific area of expertise, giving behind the scenes tips and practical advice on how to survive and thrive in a highly competitive landscape. A second day of portfolio reviews with speakers will provide photographers with an honest and constructive critique of existing work. An informal drinks reception is optional on both days to allow for further networking.

<b>About Antoine d’Agata</b>
Born in Marseilles, Antoine d'Agata left France in 1983 and remained overseas for the next ten years. Finding himself in New York in 1990, he pursued an interest in photography by taking courses at the International Center of Photography.

During his time in New York, in 1991-92, d'Agata worked as an intern in the editorial department of Magnum. Despite his experiences and training in the US, after his return to France in 1993 he took a four-year break from photography. His first books of photographs, De Mala Muerte and Mala Noche, were published in 1998, and the following year Galerie Vu began distributing his work. In 2001 he published Hometown, and won the Niépce Prize for young photographers. He continued to publish regularly: Vortex and Insomnia appeared in 2003, accompanying his exhibition 1001 Nuits, which opened in Paris in September; Stigma was published in 2004, and Manifeste in 2005.

In 2004 d'Agata joined Magnum Photos and in the same year, shot his first short film, Le Ventre du Monde (The World's Belly); this experiment led to his long feature film Aka Ana, shot in 2006 in Tokyo. The book Aka Ana due to be published in 2018.

Joined Magnum in 2004, full member since 2008.
