SHAPING THE STORY
<\/strong><\/h4>
A Project-Focused Workshop with Carl De Keyzer<\/b><\/h6>
In this full-day workshop, world-renowned Magnum<\/b> photographer Carl De Keyzer<\/b> will dive deep into the process of shaping a compelling visual story. With decades of experience working on long-term, politically and socially charged projects, De Keyzer will share his personal approach to building complex narratives through photography.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
The workshop is divided into two parts.<\/b> In the morning, Carl will present key projects from his career<\/b>, focusing on the challenges of structuring a visual story with clarity and depth. Through behind-the-scenes insights, he will discuss how to move from a simple idea to a powerful, multi-layered body of work.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
In the afternoon, the focus shifts to you. <\/b>Participants will present their own projects – completed or in progress – for in-depth group critique and personal feedback from Carl. This is a rare opportunity to receive guidance and direction that could help you rethink, refine or even reimagine your photographic narrative.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
Whether you’re working on a documentary series, a conceptual body of work, or a long-term personal project, this workshop is designed to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.<\/div>

Carl De Keyzer<\/strong> began his career as a freelance photographer in 1982, supporting himself by teaching photography at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Ghent, Belgium.
