Whether focusing on street, architectural, photojournalistic, or documentary photography, participants were fully immersed in the process of refining their approach and skills. The workshop invited them to embark on a personal journey – creating a photographic narrative that resonated with them or served as a source of inspiration – while stepping back to reflect on their work and collectively consider artistic choices or alternative narrative arcs that capture the essence of life in Tangier, from the Kasbah to the Medina.<\/p>\n

Narrative techniques and the structuring of a photo series were subsequently honed through an analysis of their images. Finally, the editing of their portfolios was completed through discussions on the best ways to present their work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div> <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n
