The “On the Road” workshops are designed for amateurs and

professionals alike and there is no portfolio requirement in advance. 


Nikos Economopoulos prefers to have a portfolio review with each one of the participants upon the first meeting, as a way of introduction. This way, and also by discussing with you, he can have a better understanding of your interests and plan the workshop accordingly, so that you can have the maximum benefit. 

So in this way, other than the city itself and the local lives of the

people, the focus is geared to whatever interests you.


The methodology is based on editing. During the day, the participants are expected to explore the city and shoot what interests them, either on their own or in pairs or small groups. Each one may choose locations freely according to what they are interested in and feel comfortable with.

They all meet up early in the evening in order to go through the

day's work and do the editing.  


In the first meetings, Nikos Economopoulos prefers to see the full material that you shoot and select from that. After a while, he will ask you to do the first editing yourself and proceed to select from your own selection and discuss it. There is a practical orientation and in this way, the participants also benefit from one another.


The equipment that you would need is a digital camera and a laptop.


*Booking deadline: 2 weeks before the beginning of  each workshop
