This photo feature is the outcome of the five-day intensive startup workshop organized by acclaimed photographers and educators Philip Blenkinsop and Christopher Morris on February 17-21.

A total of 18 photography students from Norway, China, Bangladesh and Nepal had gathered in Kathmandu for the International Storytelling Workshop 2020. As part of the curriculum, all 18 students roamed the streets of Kathmandu, taking pictures for the special workshop.

This is a 40-day advanced visual storytelling workshop for advanced level photography and photojournalism students and professionals.

This exchange program is divided into three parts: a five-day start-up photography workshop, fieldwork, and the editing workshop in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Organized with the collaboration of the Oslo Metropolitan University (Norway), Pathshala South Asian Media Academy (Bangladesh), VII Academy (the US), and photo.circle (Nepal), the program opens up a unique space for young photographers to learn and practice under close mentorship.
