Courses on offer by Nikos Economopoulos
Workshops
The workshops take place in different destinations around the world throughout the year. They are organised for a limited number of participants, both professional and amateur photographers who enjoy combining photography with the joy of the journey. The challenge is to bring out each photographer’s unique glance.
The methodology is based on editing. The participants shoot during the day and gather up for the editing meetings during the evening. Through the selection and discussion of the day’s images, the participants have the opportunity to see their technique evolve and their overall approach improve day by day. The introductory meeting is dedicated to portfolio reviews and overall planning.
Equipment: A digital camera with preferably one prime lens of the participants choice, and a computer.
Individual Master Class
The one-to-one year-long master class with Nikos Economopoulos is based on a concrete project idea that each participant will have to pursue independently in the course of twelve months. The www.ontheroad.grelopment will be followed through, discussed and re-oriented if necessary, in direct communication. This course is addressed to advanced photographers who wish to have mentoring and supervision in order to start and/or complete a long-term project, and can lead to a book or exhibition etc. As this is an advanced course, it is expected that participants will have a high level of commitment and dedication, as well as initiative.

The Athens Project
The Athens Project is a series of photography workshops that will be held throughout the year in the Greek capital. Designed for photographers of all levels, these workshops invite participants to explore the many layers of the city that becomes both subject and inspiration. Participants are encouraged to visit and revisit, unearthing the hidden narratives embedded in its urban fabric. The workshops are accessible at a lower price, with the flexibility to join one at a time or engage in more, for a deeper, more immersive experience that can lead to a comprehensive project with the guidance of Nikos Economopoulos. Join us in tracing Athens, a city of a thousand faces, seeing it from different angles, documenting its decisive moments and uncovering the visual stories waiting to be told.
Portfolio Reviews
Online portfolio reviews can also be independently arranged. They can take place anytime throughout the year, upon prior agreement and are addressed to any photographer, amateur or professional, who wishes to get an expert assessment of their work and an in-depth discussion about their orientation
