Closeness

A four-day photo workshop by award winning Bangladeshi documentary photographer Munem Wasif was coincided with Traveling Chobi Mela V, an international festival of photography hosted in Kathmandu by photo.circle and was thus able to garner interest in the Nepali photo community. 8 photographers attended the workshop. The workshop was an intensive exercise that pushed participants to their limits, really forcing them to work in new ways. Outcomes of the workshop were published in República daily on May 29th 2009 as a center spread in their weekend edition. This marks a positive beginning with local media in terms of getting work produced published.
