I am scheduling my 2017 photo workshop tours! Group or private tours are all conducted from August through October of 2017 so set your spot now! To see the list of tours scroll down below and click on the links for more information!
If you are planning to travel to Italy or Israel in the near future, why not include a photography workshop in your calendar? We provide both a personal tour while working on sharpening your photography skills. You will walk away with a local view of the culture, life and landscape along with prize winning images to include in your photo album all at a very reasonable cost!
Our mentorship is personal according to your level and photography needs. Susan has a double masters one in photography and the other in conflict analysis. She also has a BS in archeology with 7 years of Middle East archeological experience, including photographing various sites in Israel.
Susan Brannon is now offering 5 day photography workshops in Tuscany, Israel and the West Bank
We go off the beaten path and work on composition, scene selection, light and shadow, culture and editing. The workshops start before sunrise in the mornings, a break for lunch and reviews and editing and then out to the field a few hours before sunset in order to work with the best possible natural lighting.
Not only do you gain knowledge in photography, but you also will learn some local history both cultural and archeological!
You need to have your own digital camera, tripod, and laptop with Photoshop. It is best to have an SRL digital camera with different lenses. You are responsible for your own flights, hotel and food.
Who is Susan Brannon?
Susan Brannon is a photojournalist with over a decade of field experience. She has recorded the lives of the people of Palestine, Israel, Iraq, and other theaters of conflict and war. Brannon’s photographs are simply about people: their passions, their struggles, their lives. Her images have appeared on international front page newspapers, magazines, book covers and various promotional materials for international non profits. She writes “I am interested in gathering the truth of events, the behind the scenes stories, rather than the mainstream headline news.”
Brannon’s work is influenced by a background in archeology, anthropology, and international development: all studies in the change and growth of culture and humanity. Her images create an intimacy between subject and viewer beyond the norm of typical journalistic imagery. She does this by not just being a passive observer and outsider to an event, but instead working as an active and engaged participant in the lives she records.
Susan Brannon freelances for both Reuters and AP; has contracted with International NGO's; and recently has been producing photography workshops. Brannon is also the founder and director of the Crossing Borders Project, an internationally traveling exhibition of image and text recorded by and about the lives and struggles of the people of Palestine and other underrepresented groups.

Is it better to get a group together so we can set up a date? How does this work? I can get a group together for Israel. Some folks at our church was talking about trying to make a trip. Should I email you?
ReplyDeleteGroups are the best to increase the chance that I am available. When trying to set up groups on an individual basis, it makes it more difficult to ensure that the workshop can happen! I have to make sure that my costs are covered! Send an email, and we can talk about it more.
ReplyDeleteHay, I just stumbled onto your site. I am an organization and would like to use something like this to increase our visibility and generate participation. Can you work something out like this with us? How does the funding go?
