CEOmakeKYOTO
Having worked on themes like “The Heavens" or “Happy Pills", Paolo Woods has proven time and again that long-term, issue-oriented photographic documentaries on non-photogenic subjects can be done well, with the use not only of still photographs but also video, data and statistics, texts and infographics, images from social media. Learn from Woods about the process of constructing a concept, visualizing the subject matter through extensive research, blending data and statistics with the storyline, working with writers, researchers and other colleagues and capturing iconic images of the subject with technical execution.
[If you are]
Photographers with a project, on-going or finished, that is on a non-photogenic subject.
Photographers wishing to develop an eye to find visual macro and micro aspects of a project.
Photographers willing to brush own project up with conceptual and technical approaches.
