This week I'm back at photo.circle in Kathmandu, Nepal to conduct a workshop together with photojournalist Mads Nissen. The workshop is the final part of a master class for 12 Nepali photographers.
The 12 Nepali photographers have been working for two months with the theme evolution.
Now it's time to edit and finish their stories. The result will be an exhibition and a book.
On Monday the 1st of August I gave photographic advice in the television programme Aftenshowet on DR1, national television.
A viewer had written to the show to ask for advice in order to become better at making pictures. In the programme I give some basic advices and commented on the viewers' own pictures.
You can watch the programme here.
Almost five years ago Sofia Wraber and Nanna Kreutzmann made an extraordinary visual project during their final semester at DSMJ. The two photojournalists portrayed 101 men within a project period of four weeks. And it was not just 101 random men, it was one man representing each age from zero to 100 years. A selection of pictures showing how ageing looks like. I was their tutor on this project.
After finishing their BA in photojournalism Sofia and Nanna continued working on their portrait idea. This time they portrayed 101 women in the same style as their first project.
Right now Sofia Wraber and Nanna Kreutzmann show an exhibition at ARoS in Aarhus showing the two projects - 101 men and women.
I gave the opening speech at talk the exhibition on the 16th of April. The exhibition will be open till the 5th of May.
Wednesday the 6th of April I was lecturing at Göteborgs-Posten. The topic was online publishing and 50 members of the editoral staff attended the meeting - both members of the photo department and staff from the news room.
Göteborg-Posten is one of those rare newspapers which hasn't started making multimedia productions. This they will do now and the lecture was the first kick off in a four step education for the photo department.
