581 If I waited by the phone the New York Times to call back, or for $10,000 to get off the ground I’d never be where I am today, I’d never have a portfolio. --Mark Brecke Mark Brecke has worked around the world covering humanitarian issues. He is accustomed to working on the peripherals, without major support from the media or organizations. In this unique three hour workshop Mark will discuss how he has been able to successfully produce international projects working outside the system and on a shoestring budget. This workshop is perfect for photographers who are committed to issues, have a passion for photography and multimedia storytelling and who are trying to figure out how to get off the ground. Topics to be discussed include working on a minimal or nonexistent budget, how and what to research before leaving, working with NGOs, working in conflict zones without press or media behind you, establishing good relationships in the communities where you are working and working with multimedia. Location: At the Mark Brecke's studio in Bernal Heights in San Francisco. Specific address given upon registration. Class size: 14 participants.
