Photojournalism is one of the most interesting, challenging and rewarding of all the photographic disciplines. Australian photojournalist Peter Solness who has travelled Australia and the world, working on book, magazine and social welfare projects, shares his knowledge of how to approach a subject and where to get your work published. This one day workshop will give you a chance to get a feel for the process of photojournalism and hopefully set you on your way to photographing your own special project.
