Join Magnum photographer Sabiha Çimen for an exclusive three-day workshop in Sofia, Bulgaria.
Are you developing a photo-documentary project and navigating the complexities of sequencing and editing? At this pivotal stage, the Learn team, in partnership with the Before Creating Academy (BECA), invites you to deepen your practice through exclusive guidance from Magnum photographer Sabiha Çimen.
Sabiha Çimen, whose acclaimed debut photobook Hafiz (2021) received the Paris Photo/Aperture First PhotoBook Award, will guide you on your project’s approach and the next steps. Her work, deeply rooted in themes of women, Islamic culture, portraiture, and still life, brings a unique and sensitive perspective to visual storytelling. Over two days, you’ll dive deeply into the art of sequencing and editing, with hands-on exercises, group portfolio reviews, and personalized feedback to help you refine your visual narrative. This workshop is designed to empower you to present your work more effectively—to industry professionals, and public audiences alike.
This immersive and intimate group setting workshop invites photographers seeking to get a better understanding of the subjective process of editing and sequencing a body of work and how this can transform the way you see and approach your projects.
Editing is a hugely important and valuable process with different stages and uses. Not to be confused with post-processing your images with programs like Lightroom or Photoshop, editing is the process of looking deeply at the photographs you are making, to interrogate them with a critical eye, to review and reject the weak images, and to find something remarkable on the contact sheet or screen.
This workshop is open to 12 participants and is suitable for photographers with a substantial body of work seeking guidance in the final stages of their projects, as well as photographers embarking on new projects and in the research stage. Each participant will have the opportunity to gain a comprehensive understanding of the editing process for long-term projects and selecting the optimal format for their presentation.
This workshop offers:
- An immersive, hands-on experience exploring the art of editing and sequencing a photographic project
- Personalized guidance and feedback from Magnum photographer Sabiha Çimen
- In-depth group portfolio reviews designed to enrich your perspective and strengthen your visual narrative
