During the five days of the workshop, the 15 participants, together with the three member photographers of the NOOR agency, will share their experience, work on portfolios, improve their editing skills and learn how to pick up a story. Each of the days will consist of intensive communication with the photographers on the subjects of technical features and the peculiarities of the international photo market.

The participants were hose from over 250 applications from Russia and the former USSR countries.
We were happy to see so many good applications and photographers, as well as strong motivations to continue the work in the sphere of documentary photography. The motivation was the main point of interest, it, along with the photographs, as nothing else could show the potential to grow as a photojournalist. Preference was also given to the authors who have their own photographic style and are still in the beginning of their way, young people for whom the masterclass can become a new phase in their professional development.
The Noor tutors are Nina Berman (USA), Jan Grarup (Denmark) and Yuri Kozyrev (Russia).
