In 2023, the workshop will be held twice, the first from April 24-29 and the second from May 2-7.
For centuries, Istanbul has captivated and inspired painters and authors. With this in mind, Magnum is thrilled to host two 6-day workshops with Turkish photographer Emin Özmen and Photo Editor Cloé Kerhoas for the second year in a row. You will spend six days exploring the city while photographically focusing on a theme of your choice.
On the first day, Özmen and Kerhoas will lead a tour of the city to familiarize visitors with Istanbul’s history, cultural sites, and districts. After spending the first day as a group, you will work independently to capture your chosen subject. Everyone will meet at the start of each day to check over each other’s work and to discuss and get feedback and advise. Cloé Kerhoas will provide a professional practice lecture on the fourth day of the course, including tips on contacting editors, obtaining money for photo projects, and developing a web presence. The workshop’s last day will be dedicated to editing and sequencing your work.
