Review Fotodoks Workshop Raw Munich Day 2 – Documentary Photography

PS…Did you read Day 1?

Workshop Day 2

When I arrived at the Fotodoks offices, Belgrade Raw was showing a box of their work.  I didn’t snap photos but grabbed some images from Mane Radmanovic, one of the instructors, and from the Belgrade Raw website to share with you.

U.S.A. - 

Three-time World Press Photo Award winning photographer Stefano De Luigi’s work explodes with colour, capturing the most interesting stories imaginable. A member of the VII Photo Agency, Luigi’s ingenious long term projects are unique and compelling. Emaho spoke to Stephano about his work with VII Photo, his projects and the FotoDoks workshop he will be mentoring along with three fellow members of the VII photo agency this October.

  How did photography happen for you?

After high school I enrolled in a Political Science course but I quit for photography two years later (first studying in a school and then working).

  How long have you been with VII Photo and what has the experience been like?

I joined the VII network in 2008 and I’ve been a member since last year. The experience with VII has enabled me to grow professionally as it’s very stimulating to be surrounded by such great work all the time.

Italy -

Italian photographer Franco Pagetti began his career in photography as a fashion photographer with Vogue and other influential magazines. It was later that he found his calling in humanitarian causes and began to document conflict and violence. Since then, Franco has travelled across three continents trying to document conflict and tell the stories he believes need to be told. Emaho spoke with VII Photo Agency Photographer Franco Pagetti:

  What made you choose photography for a career after a PhD in chemistry?

It happened out of curiosity and a sense of duty. I think I’m lucky to have the life I have and I feel I have to give back something to the world.

  You’ve worked as a fashion photographer with Italian Vogue. What made you step out into the field to document conflict?

I loved to take pictures for fashion magazines; everything was beautiful but one day I realised it was not enough for me. Nothing against fashion, it was just me; I felt a different desire and became a photojournalist.
