Barry Talis will join forces for a 3-day workshop with his colleague in BME Zisis Kardianos during the next Brussels Street Photography Festival coming October. Enrollments for the workshop still accepted but only a few more places are vacant.
Three members of the BURN MY EYE photography collective - Andrew Kochanowski from the United States, Junku Nishimura from Japan, and TC Lin from Taiwan - are joining forces to hold a three-day workshop in Taipei, Taiwan, this October. It will mark the collective's first such event in Asia.
Taipei, with its friendly people and dense network of meandering alleys hiding a rich blend of the ancient and the modern, is ideal for street photography, with a unique mix of the public and the private to be seen along the arcades fronting the ancient baroque facades of the old neighborhood.
The workshop will start on the morning of Saturday, October 7th, with portfolio reviews and presentations/discussions about street photography, followed by shooting during the daytime, and editing/discussions throughout the three-day period.
We will spend time photographing in and around the historic Tua Tiu Tiann area of Taipei, and give on-site feedback and guidance on subjects ranging from shooting to editing/sequencing, as well as reviews of student work, making for an excellent chance to explore and develop your vision. Selected photographic work from workshop students will also be printed for exhibition at a local gallery.
Workshop fee: NT$12,000/€340/US$400
(Early-bird price of NT9,000/€250/US$300 until August 31)
Dates: From Saturday, October 7 to Monday, October 9, 2017.
Location: No. 27 Yanping North Road, Section 2, Taipei
Participants: Limited to 15

Burn My Eye members Pau Buscató and Dimitris Makrygiannakis will come together in the streets of Barcelona, a city of special importance to both. Pau’s hometown (currently living in Oslo) and Dimitris’ photographic home the last 4 years (living in Stockholm but visiting Barcelona frequently), Barcelona is a street photographer’s paradise, with a very lively vibe and events/happenings in public spaces on a constant basis, especially during weekends when the workshop will take place.
The workshop will start on the evening of Friday the 13th with portfolio reviews and presentations/discussions about street photography, continuing during the weekend with shooting in the days, and editing/discussions in the night. Expect a quite intensive programme, with long hours of shooting and editing/discussing as well. There will be a follow-up of participants' progress with a Skype Session 6 months after the workshop.
Pau Buscató (1975) often shoots in big cities like Barcelona, London or NYC, where he is constantly looking for those poetic accidents that convert a mundane situation into something special. He has received recognition from various international photography festivals and competitions. His work has been part of exhibitions around the world, and it's been featured in various online and printed publications, including David Gibson's latest book '100 Great Street Photographs.
Dimitris Makrygiannakis (1979) is the winner of the Invisible Photographer Asia 2013 as well as of the Fotoura 2014 Street Photography award.
