Workshops

The State Russian Centre of Photography presents the workshop of famous Swedish photographer Nina Korhonen.

The workshop contains theoretical and practical parts and is meant not only for beginners but also for professional photographers who work with digital or analog cameras.

Choosing «Free subject» as a theme for the workshop Nina Korhonen expects that freedom will help students to get unpredictable and wonderful results, that will first of all surprise themselves.

«Free subject» means that they will photograph something they are involved in, seriously committed to, engaged, devoted to, burn for and really are interested of, for example such strong and important feelings as love, hate, fear...

The workshop is realized with the support of Swedish Institute.
