"On the Road" Workshop with Nikos Economopoulos

"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 day by day.The aim is to guide the participants through technical, theoretical and aesthetic issues towards developing their own photographic style.

Marrakesh is a luminous, welcoming place. The crimson colours and the surrounding earth walls of the medina create an evokative atmosphere. Only yards away from the city center, the daily life goes on uninterrupted by the tourists. Exploring the souqs, the backstreets and the sunlit squares is an experience that captures the eye as well as the imagination.

Known local photographers often join the group, presenting and discussing their work as well as their own experience of the city.

The workshops are based on shooting during the day and editing during the evening. The use of digital photography is recommended as it facilitates the process of daily editing on the computer. Through the selection and discussion of the best images of the day, the participants will have the opportunity to see their technique and their overall approach improve day by day. The aim is to guide the participants through technical, theoretical and aesthetic issues towards developing their own photographic style.

Participants are welcome to bring into the first meeting portfolios of past work.
