On the Road

The workshops take place in different destinations around the world throughout the year. They are organised for a limited number of participants, both professional and amateur photographers who enjoy combining photography with the joy of the journey. The challenge is to bring out each photographer’s unique glance.

The methodology is based on editing. The participants shoot during the day and gather up for the editing meetings during the evening. Through the selection and discussion of the day’s images, the participants have the opportunity to see their technique evolve and their overall approach improve day by day. The introductory meeting is dedicated to portfolio reviews and overall planning.

Equipment: A digital camera with preferably one prime lens of the participants choice, and a computer.

The one-to-one year-long master class with Nikos Economopoulos is based on a concrete project idea that each participant will have to pursue independently in the course of twelve months. The development will be followed through, discussed and re-oriented if necessary, in direct communication. This course is addressed to advanced photographers who wish to have mentoring and supervision in order to start and/or complete a long-term project, and can lead to a book or exhibition etc. As this is an advanced course, it is expected that participants will have a high level of commitment and dedication, as well as initiative.

Timeline

The course can start anytime throughout the year, and will be lasting for 12 months. Private tutorial meetings in Athens or skype discussions are arranged once a month according to availability. Extra meetings will also be scheduled if necessary.
