British photographer, Mark Power, will conduct a workshop in Hamburg. This promises to be a special opportunity for those who wish to progress their photographic practice. This is a practical workshop and over the duration of the 5-days, participants will be expected to rethink the topography of the urban terrain and photograph Hamburg from a more conceptual, yet documentary perspective. Various strategies will be employed to map out the city, designed for photographers to engage both experientially and experimentally. Editing, sequencing of photographs will be a constant issue throughout the workshop. On the final evening each participant will make a presentation of the work produced during the workshop. Mark Power will also be in conversation with Michael Grieve about his career as a photographer. This will be open to a public audience at the HWF Galerie.
Workshop structure: Day 1. Mark Power will conduct a presentation and describe his working methodologies with some of his notable projects. Participants will each make a 20-30 minute presentation as an introduction to Mark and the group. Potential project ideas for the workshop will be discussed.
Day 2. Project ideas will be discussed in greater detail and participants will begin to photograph.
Day 3. The results of day 2 will be presented by each participant and critiqued as a group discussion, and then participants will continue shooting.
Day 4. A repeat of day 3, but with a greater emphasis on editing and sequencing. One to one tutorials.
Day 5. Editing, sequencing the work produced and ready for a presentation in the evening.
