This week 11 photographers are participating in an amazing masterclass by National Geographic photographer & Guggenheim Fellow Maggie Steber. Their work will be presented to the public at Hin Bus Depot 15 August 2019, at 8pm.

The goal of this workshop, besides moving you forward in your thinking and practice of photography, is to create a safe place to expand the photographer's vision and ideas.

In this workshop our goals are visual liberation. This is about telling any story, whether it’s about the way you see the world or something you imagine in one photograph or as a series.
