On the occasion of Le French May Arts Festival 2016, Magnum Photos is excited to announce a new unique educational program <b>in Hong Kong organized from June 1st to 12th</b>, with generous support from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University School of Design.
Lead by the four renowned Masters Patrick Zachmann, Antoine d'Agata, Nikos Economopoulos and Abbas, it will give a new exclusive opportunity for emerging photographers to develop their visual language and personal work.
Through a program of shooting Workshops, Masterclasses, talks and projections, each event will offer different unique challenge and skills to perform in a competing market.
<b>MAGNUM MASTERCLASS - June 1st to 3rd, 2016
with Abbas</b>
Up to 12 near professional students, who should be motivated and willing to work very hard for 3 days. Abbas has the reputation of exhausting his students… and himself.
Rather than act as a professor who hands down the truth, Abbas tends to direct students to find out by themselves how they can improve their photography and their editing.
On the last evening, Abbas will also present his own work.
