Join me at a photography workshop in Guatemala

I am searching for a few photographers who would be interested in making documentary photographs for NGOs and non-profits. My good friend Mike Ross and I have launched a social enterprise initiative called Humanitarian Images.

Our inaugural expedition will be to lead a photography workshop in Guatemala in late October followed by a workshop in Denver this coming winter and Nepal within the next year. I can’t wait.

Humanitarian Images is an initiative to help photographers use their skill in support of the work being done by NGOs and non-profits around the world. Over an 8-10 day period, each participant will submerged into the Guatemalan culture to learn how to visually document life. The workshop will put emphasis on the vision of a photojournalist, location lighting, the use of and hunt for available light, relationship building with those you document, how to consult with an NGO about communications through images, and much, much more.

The first part of our Guatemala expedition will place participants at the Day of the Dead festival, where they will be enveloped by the rich culture of the small village of Santiago. The second part of the workshop launches participants on assignment with actual non-profits and NGOs to produce work for them.

One of the fundamental missions of my life is to to use my talent as a photographer and mentor to help make this world a better place. Humanitarian Images offers a great opportunity for me to serve students at any level — to equip and encourage them as they participate in serving humanity.

More details:  This initiative is part of The Omega Network, Inc., which uses revenue generated from participant fees to help fund women’s micro-economic projects in Nepal and Guatemala. http://www.humanitarianimages.org
