The Ethics of Photo Journalism
The SDP Course delves deep into the ethics of photojournalism and what constiutes as a story or how to best showcase sensitive issues and address concerns about the same.
Shooting with Team PPT
It’s said a good listener always learns first. During this course, the students get the chance to see award winning photographers shoot, edit and talk about their work and process.
The PPT’s main mission is to promote Social Documentary Photography and encourage individuals to work, create images and fight for a cause they believe in. The SDP course is catered to each student participant and is not the usual schooling model and hence the duration, time, schedule of the course etc is all decided along with the participant. While you stay with us at our Guhagar Center, you become a part of the PPT and learn and grow with us. The course starts with fundamental understanding of the theory and mechanics of picture making with strong emphasis on ethics in photojournalism. The course also offers practical sessions and field visits with the mentors in real-time situations that will prepare the students for the real, ever-changing professional world. The core motive of the course is to provide the students an organic platform to create earnest dialogues and to evolve as a social change-maker with intimate and responsible visual content.
