Brighton Photojornalism Workshop

I have just returned from an extensive 4 day photojournalism workshop in Brighton.

I was lucky enough to be one of twenty photographers from the UK to be selected for this incredible journey of learning.  And what a journey it was. Day one I was given a brief over breakfast to go and shoot a story at a funky B&B called Snooze. Eight hours of intensive photography was followed by a no-holds-barred critique that ran into the early hours of the morning.

Day two saw me back at Snooze working even harder and digging deep for that ‘moment’ in an image that captivates the viewer. This was followed by another extremely late night, each image questioned, dissected, and questioned again.

The team spirit and friendships created was a really moving experience for me. We finished the workshop on Wednesday evening by introducing our assignments to the other teams and watching slideshows of the photographic stories. The standard of photography and visual storytelling was incredible.

After an emotional few days a little steam was then released in the bar, I think I finally got to bed at 4.45am, not great for my cycle training!

I am awaiting the OK to post my work, slideshow to follow.
