KYOTOGRAPHIE respects and appreciates all forms of expression through photography. The diversity of our reviewers and the opportunity they present is one of our many contributions to photographers.
Defining Your Project: A Masterclass with Paolo Woods
Having worked on themes like “The Heavens" or “Happy Pills", Paolo Woods has proven time and again that long-term, issue-oriented photographic documentaries on non-photogenic subjects can be done well, with the use of not only of still photographs but also video, data and statistics, texts and infographics, images from social media. Learn from Woods about the process of constructing a concept, visualizing the subject matter through extensive research, blending data and statistics with the storyline, working with writers, researchers and other colleagues and capturing iconic images of the subject with technical execution.

Over the BORDER
Through his KYOTOGRAPHIE exhibition Heartstrings, a project about dementia, Kazuhiko Matsumura contributes to the conversation for those affected by the condition and those foreign to it, helping to overcome a BORDER by creating an educational opportunity that fosters compassion.
Matsumura will present the making of Heartstrings, sharing the symptoms and intimacy of those with dementia, the required care, and an ideal model of a supportive society through the mixed media presentation of photographs, texts, and videos.
In addition, participants will gain insight into his personal life, juggling his professional life as a Kyoto Newspaper photographer and personal projects, exploring various platforms as outlets for his works, including magazines (online and print), photo books, and photography festivals.
Participants will share their works in return, then discuss them in a group setting to find attainable goals for individual objectives.
