Humanitarian photographers are storytellers. Their images tell narratives filled with emotion and grit. From highlighting situations of desperation to moments of hope, these photographs tell stories of life. Joining one of these workshops, you will spend your days teaming up with local social impact organizations to tell their stories. Your images will give a powerful visual voice to organizations combating various socio-economic issues. In the past, we have partnered with organizations that are advocating for female empowerment, environmental conservation, gender equality, animal welfare, and many other powerful causes.
