Magazine and Newspaper Photojournalism Workshop

Magazine and Newspaper Photojournalism Workshop with Bob Coleman

Ever wonder what is is like to be a magazine or newspaper photojournalist? This workshop is your chance! Led by Bob Coleman, a photojournalist with more than 20 years experience from both newspaper and magazine work.   This workshop will immerse you into the the world of the photojournalist.

Participants will attend a short class to prepare them for the types and style of work they will be doing.They will then be given a series of assignments to accomplish during this year’s Bikes Blues and Barbecue rally in Fayetteville. A daily meeting time will be available to discuss your progress on the assignments or to answer questions you might have along the way.  A FB discussion group will also be set up for the group.

After the rally, we will meet as a group to view and discuss the work each of the photographers has done. Personal work evaluations will be provided to each participant.
