PROFESSIONAL WORKSHOPS [ DEC 4 - 12, 2O15 ]
Since 2005, our tuition-free workshops have provided affordable and accessible professional training to photographers selected from our annual open call for applications. Aimed at guiding participants to take their craft to the next level, the workshops are taught by international photographers who volunteer their time. As always, the results of this year's workshops will be showcased on the Closing Night of the festival.
FESTIVAL PROGRAMME [ DEC 5 - 12, 2O15 ]
Over the past decade, it has been rewarding for us to play a role in ushering some of the region’s best photographers onto the international stage, creating greater exposure for their work and the issues they cover. Curated from our annual open call for submissions, this year's festival programme will feature the work of over 130 photographers from 45 countries. For the second year, we have the 'GreenLight Exhibition Series' and 'The Impact Project', alongside the highly-anticipated 'IPA Hong Kong & Taiwan Showcase' by the founder of Invisible Photographer Asia, Kevin Wy Lee.
ANJALI PHOTO WORKSHOPS [ NOV 26 - DEC 6, 2O15 ]
Initiated in 2005 by Magnum photographer Antoine d’Agata, the Anjali Photo Workshops engages the children of Anjali House in creative expression through photography. The workshop encourages and nurtures the children’s innate creativity – an important part of education, and a key tool in fostering scholastic development, self- confidence, and social interaction.
