2009-12-09T06:09:00.000-08:00

Photo MA graduate Boris Austin just completed a workshop training UNICEF staff in photography. Boris explains the process, "the overall goal was to equip team members with the skills and knowledge to take high quality documentary-style digital photography including portraits whilst in the field. Images will be used in UNICEF’s publications and reports.

The intensive workshop focused on environmental portraiture and photo essays, both technically and creatively. The participants were staff journalists who had specialities such as "water and sanitation" or "public health and immunization" so we also took into account the specific kinds of photos each of them would need to learn to take. The heads of Communications team watched a final presentation and said they thought is was highly successful".
