VII Narrative Photography NYC workshop 2019 by Harm Jan Schuurman

At the beginning of 2019 I decided to delve further into narrative photography. Telling stories with pictures has always interested me. I actually thought I knew what it was, but after reading up on it, the desire arose to delve further into this and I wanted to learn from professionals how I could improve my work.

After some fieldwork I decided to go big and signed up for a workshop in New York. A city I really like to visit and to which I am always drawn to.

Ashley Gilbertson en Ed Kashi; two prominent photographers from VII Photo Agency in New York were to shape the Narrative Photography workshop.

The workshop lasted a week and we were challenged daily to further shape our assignment on the basis of many photos taken.

My assignment was; tell more about the 'Meatpacking District' with the help of a maximum of 10 photos.
