As part of Nikon\u2019s long-standing partnership with NOOR, it is providing four-day workshops free-of-charge to aspiring photographers in the Netherlands, Germany, France and the UK in 2017. Calls for applications are open now and the series of workshops will kick off in the spring.<\/p>\n
In 2008 Nikon Europe partnered with the renowned Amsterdam-based NOOR group of documentary photographers. Since then they have been offering support to group projects and provided annual masterclasses across Europe in regions where professional photography training is limited.<\/p>\n
This year the programme offers photographers to work closer to home with NOOR tutors in workshops being held in Amsterdam, Berlin, Paris and Manchester. Photographers who are resident in the countries where the classes take place will be eligible to attend.<\/p>\n
During each of the four-day trainings, 15 participants, together with three NOOR member photographers will share experiences, work on portfolios, improve editing skills and learn how to develop visual stories.<\/p>\n
