Join Nick Turpin on a weekend workshop to Paris where you'll learn how to improve your street photography at the hands of one of Britain’s top street photographers.

The workshop will include travel to Paris on the Eurostar and two nights accommodation. Inspired by Nick Turpin's ongoing project, The French, exhibited in St Pancras International as part of the festival in 2011, participants will spend two days exploring the streets of Paris, learning valuable street photography skills with time for feedback, discussions and of course delicious food and wine.

Images from the workshop will later be projected at an event during the festival.

Nick Turpin is a photographer and founder of In-Public, the international street photography collective. He has taught contemporary street photography at museums, universities and on TV and has exhibited across Europe, the UK and USA.
