Upcoming Community Session
From Pre-Trip Planning to Final Edit: What to consider when creating a photo series
With Peter Hove Olesen, photo editor-in-chief at the Danish daily newspaper Politiken
As an award-winning photojournalist and photo editor-in-chief at the Danish daily newspaper Politiken, Peter Hove Olesen has profound experience in crafting and editing photo series.
In this session, he will take us through the steps in creating a photo series: from planning and feedback, to sequencing and text.
Having been in the industry for more than 25 years, Hove Olesen will also share his insights on how the Danish photojournalist community has helped, and from time to time hindered, each other across publications and interests through the years.
Date and time: September 15th at 6 pm CET.
