TESTIMONIALS

“For me, the Kathmandu workshop has been an unforgettable and very inspiring event in my life. Now after one week, looking back, I have only one word to summarize this experience: … wowww!!!
It was a pleasure and honor to participate. 
Apart from the very professional instructions and guidance on photography, it was amazing to discover that it is not only a great photo that counts, but also the passion, vision, social/cultural involvement and messages of a great person behind all the work that was shared with us”. Merci beaucoup! Steven Van der Kruit

“I had a very enjoyable time at the workshop and feel that I accomplished what I set out for – that is to hone my skills, learn new skills and become better able to take pictures of life here.  It was a wonderful experience and I think I took some of the best pictures that I have ever taken, so I’m completely chuffed”. Luke Stephens

“I have to say that I really enjoyed the week (even though it was hard work!) and felt that my photographic eye and technique improved significantly…I benefited greatly from the session with Jack and Steve in putting together my final selection for the showing on the final day – and the group praise from the panel afterwards was reassuring”. Kieron Crawley

‘’I think what the Workshop is doing great is to give a different perspective to those pictures we “usually see without seeing”… and this is great and very refreshing! And also the Workshop has 100% fulfilled its expectations for me in terms of “inspiring people”! Great job! 

I’ve learn’t  a lot from the workshop, a total new experience and can’t wait to go in the street taking pictures again’’. Cecile Ducreux

“Don’t miss the opportunity of private lessons with photojournalist Jack Picone. He is a unique combination of pro photographer, local guide, and best friend. Work at your own pace. Have Jack review hundreds of your images on a daily basis, discuss your shots in-depth, or shoot eight hours a day. Unlike group workshops, Jack will shoot with you side-by-side. He will let you know what to look for in a scene and be able to gain access into intimate situations. Jack is a photojournalist on a Magnum and National Geographic level with a passion for teaching. Take your photography to the next level and enjoy a memorable travel experience too”. Jeffrey Jue

“Without a doubt the most inspiring six days I’ve ever experienced. I was inspired to develop my own style and to follow what I believe to be true to me, and more importantly, to go out and have fun!

Thanks again for a fantastic six days. I went out to Kings Cross and I’m confident I’ve taken some of my best shots for my project
immediately following the workshop… oh! and i’m shooting in film now. That’s how influential you, Stephen and the guest speakers where, to
the point of experimenting with a different medium.

“The Jack Picone and Stephen Dupont workshop was an extremely valuable experience. It was an immense help to me to hear them both talk about their work, the changing world of photojournalism, and what it takes to be a photographer in this day and age. Not only that but their expert advice in relation to photographic techniques, equipment and critique was immensely beneficial. It was also a great opportunity to meet other talented photographers within the workshop. I highly recommend it to anyone with the desire to extend on their documentary/photojournalistic style of photography, as it was a very inspiring few days.” Zoe Morley
