Urban photography workshop running in Bucharest in May

Photographer Davin Ellicson is running a photography course in Bucharest during May. Romania's capital offers unique opportunities for urban photography, according to Ellicson. The workshop is open to all - amateurs and professionals - and aims to improve spontaneous shooting skills via Bucharest's urban landscapes. The course will also cover editing and include a tutorial on Adobe Lightroom software, which is recommended by the photographer.

Participants must bring their own camera and laptop with photo editing software. After finishing college Davin Ellicson lived for a year with subsistence farmers in a village in the Carpathian mountains and the photographs he took became his first major project Peasants, which will published as a book in 2014.
