What the master classes covered

The Simon Fraser University and Thetyee.ca master classes focused on photojournalism and documentary photography for nonprofit organizations. That combination points to a practical, project-oriented format: documentary storytelling skills applied to the kind of work nonprofits commission or produce in-house, rather than a general survey of photography.
