The difficult choice of a workshop

[ Alexander Bethlehem | 1 Aug 2009 | 3 Comments | 869 views]

One of the coolest things about a festival of photography are the workshops. Have contact with many professionals, is a unique opportunity. When I was scheduled to FestFotoPoa , I was in doubt between the workshops Garapa, JR Ripper and one on daguerreotypes. I got to and multimedia EXPERIENCE Boys Garapa and will not repent.

So I think that is very difficult to choose which (or whom) do workshop in Paraty in Focus this year. Several professional and beasts and all. Two in particular caught my attention: Peter Martinelli and Héctor Mediavilla (see details of the workshops on the links).

Martinelli already know and love to make your workshop. Do not know? See here .

Hector was a pleasant surprise. I knew very little about it ... More by the collective he belongs, the Pandora . Catalan is a photograph I really like. These photos are from the post test FLU A (H1 N1). ¿A global virus? , COCA COCAINE IS NOT and THE Congolese SAPE.

Check out the interview I did with Héctor recently here .

Hi Bethlehem, we've done a workshop with Martinelli and that makes 12 years!
What fear of time passing, is not it?
But the good thing is that makes us the time to make sure some teachers. And Martinelli is one.
Here at the CIA, as we have this foot planted in the Brazilian school of photojournalism, it is easy to conclude that Peter Martinelli is our extreme reference. Type: "When cresecer want to be like him .."
Very cool that we have the opportunity to live with the picture that photographer in the days of the event.
