Telling a story and focusing our gaze on the everyday.Telling it through our own eyes, giving it body, time and breath.But how do we create a sequence of images consistent with our telling?<\/p>\n\n

“Because it is in the photographic narrative that individual shots are charged with a narrative power that they do not have on their own. Because the pictures in a story represent the action of moving through space and time exercised by the photographer’.<\/em>. (cit.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n

A lab (workshop) dedicated to the creation and research of ideas with paper, pen and camera. Working on the narrative construction of a story contained in a reportage, a journey, or even just a portrait. Transforming an idea<\/strong> into a tale<\/strong> with exercises and practical activities, educating the eye and the imagination in order, to tell the truth in the image. And not the truth of the image.<\/p>\n\n

\n\n

In the beautiful setting of Villa Cometti, an ancient 19th-century Venetian mansion in Spinea (VE), DooG Reporter is organizing a Storytelling in Photography Workshop by photojournalist Gabriele Orlini<\/strong><\/a> and with Barbara Silbe<\/strong><\/a>, editor in chief of EyesOpen! Magazine<\/a><\/p>\n\n

<\/p>\n\n

The lab aims at the creation and research of ideas and the narrative construction of a story, educating the eye in order, to tell the truth in the image.<\/p>\n\n

Together with a shooting session in Venice<\/strong>, the beautiful lagoon city just a few kilometres from Spinea, participants will be involved in a didactic course<\/strong> with practical exercises<\/strong> in storytelling and imagination with paper, pen, and camera. The aim is to bring out that ability to draw from one’s personality, culture, experience and education the links<\/em> that are fundamental to be able to grasp those references that – once present in the photograph – give it a narrative and not just a descriptive sense.<\/p>\n\n

Each participant will be given an outline to follow to produce a photographic story according to the mode that best suits them, such as photojournalism, reportage, storytelling, to more personal approaches.<\/p>\n\n

Agenda<\/h3>\n\n

The agenda has a flexible operating margin and may be subject to change over the course of the weekend while maintaining the aim of allowing everyone to experience the workshop and stay at Villa Cometti to the fullest and complete their work.<\/p>\n\n
