Photography Workshop For Students with Suki

February 16 | 15:00

Nehru Wangchuck
Tashi Complex, Norzin Lam, Thimphu,

ON ASSIGNMENT WITH  Sebastian  (Suki)  Beláustegui :

All participants are required to bring a camera. It can be an amateur camera or a professional camera, it doesn’t really matter. My challenge is to lead students to learn, to observe and capture the essence of the place and the local traditional people. The old traditions and ways of life are being threatened to modernization -­‐ even in seemingly remote places like the ones we will be visiting, mainly due to the younger generations not wanting to follow in their parents’ footsteps. This, is my goal for all of you.“
