Speaking photographer with Porto Photo Fest 2018

Anna Gunn, Porto Photo Fest Festival Director & Tamer of Dragons said last year "this is the festival that could change your life. I saw how the interactions with instructors changed people's working methods, practises and craft for life. I can't wait to see the change Porto Photo Fest 2018 could bring for you".

Wait no more, as the second edition of Porto Photo Fest is running till 21 October in Porto, at the historic centre. The world's top photographers are in town to present workshops on what makes a professional photographer thrive, namely João Carlos, Sara Lando, David Nightingale and Silvia Bifaro, among others.

The activities programme includes workshops, masterclasses, portfolio reviews, photography film screening, Influencer days and exhibitions.

David Nightingale, reputed Fuji-x UK photographer will be in Porto to deliver the "Shoot the Street" worksho, on 20th October.

Aspiring photographers will take part in a one and a half day hands-on workshop, stroll through the streets of Porto, head to the temporary setting of the Bolhão Market where they will capture portraits of the life and emotions of market owners, interact with the crowd, and capture the heart of the city.

Workshops are limited to 15 participants to ensure maximum quality. The images of the students will be published on social media and in their own portfolios.

The exhibition for the 2018 edition of Porto Photo Fest is themed "womenSEEwomen", and it will be held in partnership with "Photos de Femmes" Festival in France.

This exhibit will be open and free to the public in the Centro Português de Fotografia, during the festival.

This year's Porto Photo Fest is sponsored by Porto City Hall, the Portuguese Photography Centre, Cooperativa Árvore, "Photos De Femmes" Festival, The Portuguese Photography Centre, and Árvore - Professional and artistic School.
