The difficult choice of a workshop

[ Alexandre Belém | August 1, 2009 | 3 Comments | 885 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 programmed to go to FestFotoPoa , I was in doubt between the workshops Garapa, JR Ripper and one on daguerreotypes. I got e XPERIENCE multimedia 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 I 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). ¿The global virus? , COCA COCAINE IS NOT and THE Congolese SAPE.

Check out the interview with Héctor I did 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 side of it 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 opportunity we have to live with the figure of this photographer in the days of the event.
