An affordable new workshop is an incubator for emerging international photojournalists

RESOLVE — the liveBooks photo blog says:

The Foundry Photojournalism Workshop began in 2008 when Eric Beecroft, a teacher and photographer, discovered a blank spot in the array of workshops being offered to photojournalists — one that emerging and international shooters could afford. He and his team organized the first Foundry in Mexico City and got an impressive array of instructors to sign on, including Paula Bronstein, Stanley Green, Ron Haviv, and Stephanie Sinclair. We talked with Eric about this year’s workshop, in Manali, India, from July 26 to August 1, why it is important to include local photographers (South Asian shooters get a 50% discount) and how students can get the most out of the workshop — or any workshop, for that matter.
