Lisbon. City stories by Irina Popova

How many untold, beautiful and exciting stories a city hides behind it’s facades? Plenty. Have you ever tried to follow a stranger on the street? If never, it’s an experience definitely worth it. Photo camera in your hands can give you moral power and freedom, confidence and satisfaction you never had before. 

Walking trough the narrow streets of beautiful city of Lisbon with your camera, trying to find and follow the story you want to tell. Photography can become a real adventure at the moment you start to SEE things, which otherwise pass unnoticed. 

This workshop will teach you how to communicate and find your way in the city, be it your own city or totally unknown place in the world. How to find the subject and the story, how to visualise it into a photographic narrative. How to finish and present a story.
