The next photojournalism workshop will be in.....

... Manchester!

OK, not quite as glamourous as Florida or the Phillipines (previous workshop locations) but a bit closer to home.

Thanks to those nice people at SPICE I'll be running a two hour workshop / 'evening with...' at The Pelican Hotel in Timperley, Trafford, on 15th July.

 

So for the SPICERS who have found my blog, welcome to Brendiver's World.

Here's a reminder of what you'll learn during the evening:

                                           

Where to find the opportunities

What editors are looking for

Getting your foot in the door

Commissioned assignments - how to travel on someone else's budget

Magazine photography - why you won't win any competitions

Practical issues - the best £ you will ever spend

Structure and the art of the 'wordsmith' 

How to identify new angles - from hospital beds to industrial wastelands

What next - knowing what you want and how to get there

 

I took this picture in WH Smiths the other week - a fraction of the thousands of magazines which need contributors to fill their pages. It might not be in one of these magazines, but I can pretty much guarantee one of you will get bylined as a result of what you'll take away with you this evening.

Keep Writing....
