Photography workshop with Jonathan Perugia
Join us for an in-depth photography masterclass with photographer Jonathan Perugia.
Jonathan has worked for a number of NGOs over his career and advocates for charities and media to be more mindful of power dynamics when commissioning photographers.
We will be looking at a number of issues including how UK-based media officers can most effectively work with freelancers. The event will be chaired by our Advocacy Director Gareth Benest. Topics covered will include:
- Working with in-country photographers.
- Preparing effective briefs.
- Photography discussion.
- The decolonisation agenda.
- Considerations for photography aimed at publishing in various media outlets.
The event will last from 10am to 1pm on Wednesday 13th December over Zoom.
