Management Beyond Borders offers Photography Workshops for those working in complex crisis

Management Beyond Borders now offers Photography Workshops for those working in complex settings and showing how to tell a story through pictures. Topics covered in the two-day course include practical areas such as Composition and Light, editing by using Adobe Bridge and Adobe Photoshop along with pitching photos stories effectively. This final area covers the crucial parts such as caption writing, the Media and how it uses photographs, the role of wire services (AP, Reuters, AFP and EPA) and how NGO’S can disseminate press handouts to the News Wires effectively and building relationships with picture editors.
