Overview

The James Nachtwey & David Alan Harvey Bangkok Photography Workshop

Bangkok. The city is a tapestry of life, both modern and ancient. On one street you can see millionaires in Mercedes on their way to work, street kids and lepers begging for coins, monks on their way to temple, prostitutes trying to hustle a few customers, and vast shopping malls filled with the latest designer goods, an elephant with its handler cruising through traffic. Thai society is chaotic and complex and Bangkok is the epicenter of that chaos.

The James Nachtwey & David Alan Harvey Bangkok Workshop is designed to take advantage of all that Bangkok offers. Students will have the opportunity to shoot an assignment for one week with either instructor, depending on your personal preference and photographic style. The aim is to help students get passed the concept of one good picture and venture into the realm of visual storytelling and producing a picture story.

Students will be expected to produce a photographic essay as if working on an assignment with a major magazine―like National Geographic--complete with a looming deadline. When not on the streets of Bangkok shooting their story, students will be editing and working closely with either Harvey or Nachtwey to make sure the essay is complete and that the students’ style is refined.

The James Nachtwey & David Alan Harvey Bangkok Workshop is guaranteed to be intense and challenging, where students will not only learn from the combined experience of both James Nachtwey and David Alan Harvey, but from one another as well.

Workshop


Assignment Bangkok
Before heading to Bangkok, each student will be expected to research a subject and submit your story ideas to your intended instructor. We can also suggest story ideas depending on your area of interest. Do keep in mind that Bangkok is vast and it’s best to keep your subject matter as compact as possible, and within the central city limits.

Each afternoon students will return to the workshop location to go over the previous day’s shoot, running through a general edit of “A Cut” selections with the class. At the end of the week, each student will present a final photo essay.

“Assignment Bangkok” will be challenging, often maddening, sometimes confusing, but in the end completely rewarding…just like a real assignment. And yes, in between shooting, editing and critiquing there will be a party or two and a chance to get to know both your fellow students and David and James.


Requirements
The James Nachtwey & David Alan Harvey Workshop is not designed for novice photographers. We are looking for the emerging, committed photographer, semi professionals and professionals who are seeking to work on their style and take their photography to the next level. All participants must completely understand and be comfortable with their digital camera and lenses, as well as their laptop computer including any major photo-editing software like Aperture or Photo Mechanic. The workshop will not provide cameras or laptop computers.


Cost and Accommodation
The James Nachtwey & David Alan Harvey Bangkok Workshop will cost $2,750 including hotel with breakfast and two dinners. All of the workshop participants will stay at the Dream Hotel, a new boutique hotel located on Sukhumvit, Soi 15, deep in the heart of Bangkok and a five-minute walk to Asok metro rail station (the easiest way to get around Bangkok). Participants who live in Bangkok, or have other accommodations will pay $2,150.

Application


To apply to our workshops, You will need to submit 20 photographs. Please try and select photographs that tell a story in 4-5 pictures. This will give David and James a chance to see if you have the basic requirements to learn from the Bangkok experience.

James Nachtwey

James Nachtwey grew up in Massachusetts and graduated from Dartmouth College, where he studied Art History and Political Science (1966-70).

In 1976 he started work as a newspaper photographer in New Mexico, and in 1980, he moved to New York to begin a career as a freelance magazine photographer. His first foreign assignment was to cover civil strife in Northern Ireland in 1981 during the IRA hunger strike. Since then, Nachtwey has devoted himself to documenting wars, conflicts and critical social issues. He has worked on extensive photographic essays in El Salvador, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Lebanon, the West Bank and Gaza, Israel, Indonesia, Thailand, India, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, the Philippines, South Korea, Somalia, Sudan, Rwanda, South Africa, Russia, Bosnia, Chechnya, Kosovo, Romania, Brazil, Iraq, and the United States.

Nachtwey has been a contract photographer with Time Magazine since 1984. In 2001, he became one of the founding members of the photo agency, VII. He was associated with Black Star from 1980 - 1985 and was a member of Magnum from 1986 until 2001.


David Alan Harvey

Born in 1944 in San Francisco, raised in Virginia, David Alan Harvey discovered photography at the age of eleven. Harvey purchased a used Leica with savings from his neighborhood paper route and began photographing his family and neighborhood in 1956. When he was 20, David lived and documented the lives of a black family living in Norfolk, Virginia. With these photographs he published his first book, “Tell It Like It Is” in 1966. Harvey has photographed more than 40 essays for National Geographic Magazine.

He has published two major books, Cuba and Divided Soul, both based on his extensive work across the Spanish-speaking world. He is currently publishing a project about hip-hop culture with Powerhouse Books in New York.

David came to Magnum as a nominee in 1993 and became a full member in 1997. A popular workshop instructor, David routinely teaches in Maine, Santa Fe, New Mexico, Mexico and Italy. Harvey lives in New York City.
