In this three day masterclass, Pinckers will guide the participants in focusing the development of your personal vision, critical attitude and individual approach towards the production of an artistic body of work within the context of documentary photography. Based on a series of mentoring sessions and group discussions, participants will be encouraged to question notions of truth, authenticity, objectivity and the underlying belief systems that drive our hyper-visual culture today.
Workshop participants should be able to show a good level of photographic aptitude and a desire to learn. Candidates will be expected to develop a positive attitude towards critical self-reflection, discussion and constructive critique. Participants should prepare their portfolio presentations and artistic discourse ahead of the workshop.
