VII and Workshops

In my opinion the core of wedding photography, more than the great angles, posed portraits, fashion like settings, is photojournalism.
Well I am so excited to know that in October, I will be taking a five day intensive workshop with what many believe to be the best photojournalists in the world!


After September 11, 2001 seven of the top photojournalists got together to form one of the most prestigous photographic agencies:

VII

The agency now is composed of nine members and is compared to Magnum constantly, with news agencies and corporations all over the world buying images and hiring them to shoot everything from wars to ad campaigns! You can read more about them by clicking here.

Oh man, that's really cool. I've recently been visiting VII's website and trying to soak up inspiration from their stuff, and I really enjoyed James Nachtwey's film "War Photographer." Needless to say, I wouldn't be worthy of having any of those folks review my portfolio! Have fun!
