“Before joining this program, I can say that I knew how to tell stories, but I didn’t know anything about photography. Nothing, zero.
Telling stories trough photography is a totally different thing. And now with what I learned from all the Magnum Photographers, I can start telling stories photographically.”
Pedro Levier, 2019-2020 Alumni
