18 March: Leading a street photography workshop in Suzhou

(Eds: This post will remain on top until the event is over.)

Exciting news on my end!

I’ll be speaking for the second time at the Suzhou Bookworm International Literary Festival about street photography in China. But this time, after the talk, I’ll be joining participating photogs in the streets to put theories into practice and conclude with some photo-editing and post-shoot discussion.

It’s a bit jam-packed for an afternoon but I think it’ll be wicked fun and useful to any aspiring photographer seeking to define a more personal style in photography and presenting one’s work. Suzhou is only a short train ride (less than half hour) from Shanghai, and the Suzhou Bookworm has an excellent lineup of authors speaking. I hope to see you there!
