The Magnum Workshop is an intensive five-day workshop designed to guide and encourage photographers in refining visual narratives in the Magnum tradition of documentary storytelling. The third initiative conceived by Magnum Photos and Singapore International Photography Festival follows on from the successes of the Magnum Mentorship programmes hosted in 2012 and 2014.

Intended for photographers wishing to broaden their visual perspective and push the boundaries of their personal development, the Magnum Workshop will elevate the professional standard of both regional and international photographers, under the guidance of Magnum’s contemporary practitioner, Matt Black.

The workshop culminates in a public showcase and evening projection of participants’ work in DECK’s Courtyard from 15 to 30 October.
