About the Workshop
This workshop is sponsored by Art Jameel of Abdul Latif Jameel and delivered in Bahrain by British Council and Al Riwaq Art Space. The workshop will be delivered by Stephanie Ravel, and will explore the theme of “Transitions”, which is this year’s theme for the annual Art Jameel Photography Competition. Participants will be asked to interpret the theme and share stories with each other. In addition to the technical photography skills, they will also learn how to organise series of photographs and how to write a statement and biography to participate in photography competitions.
