Why This Workshop?
As a Getty Images photographer, I have spent years documenting history, culture, and human stories.

With this workshop, I aim to share the expertise, techniques, and principles that have defined my career in news, editorial, and documentary photography.
This is not just a workshop; it’s a journey into the heart of photography as a storytelling medium.
