Empathy, Trust and Mission -
Your Personal Story Telling

Workshop with Dirk Gebhardt

Dirk Gebhardt, Sertao, Selma (53), Juana (33) and Adriana (27) are laughing after a hard working day.

Photojournalism is not about the amount of cameras you carry, neither is it about news value or your client. Photojournalism is about empathy, a clear mission and have something on your mind which has to be told and expressed by means of photography.

During the workshop I will explain how to narrow your story down to the basics. I show you the principals of story telling by visual means, how to develop clear and sustainable ideas that are practicable schemes.

How do you research your story, get in contact with the right people and get close to human beings you have never seen before. Trust is a key issue, and at the end of the day it is all related.
