*----Photographers Wanted: Open Call for Participants----*
*Applications close 15 September 2026*

In the autumn of 2026 Danish Cultural Institute in collaboration with ICON×
and Good People ApS are organizing an online photography school for
practitioners eager to learn more about portrait techniques, ethical
photography, interview techniques, and storytelling through pictures and
anthropological interviewing. With 12 online sessions, self-organized
fieldwork, personal mentoring and peer-to-peer exchange, 2 photographers
from each country: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, and
Ukraine will have the chance to get direct masterclasses and mentoring from
Danish portrait photographer Martin Thaulow
<https://iconxnetwork.org/news/photography-school-open-call/#martin-thaulow>
and build a network with likeminded people across the countries. The school
will take place from mid-September until the end of November.

The programme is both a learning opportunity and a platform for
co-creation. It will culminate in a collective publication showcasing the
stories and photos from across the participating countries.

The participants will document the impact of Danish-supported projects in
the region and explore questions of space and place, and how spaces reflect
and interact with the social, cultural, and political realities of the
region.

Hear more about the project and meet Martin Thaulow at our *info session on
9th of September, 2026, from 17:30 to 19:30 CEST*. Register here
