Photography is invariably a solitary pursuit, but to grow, most of us need the feedback of our piers – I certainly do. This is why I was so pleased to have the opportunity to attend this year’s Mountain Photo Workshop based in Williamsburg, Kentucky.

It’s been two years since I started self-studying documentary photography and photojournalism, and this is only my third blog post. However, I have finished stage one.

This is the latest blog post in a series about self-studying Photojournalism and Documentary Photography.

I'm basing my study around the London College of Communication BA in Photojournalism and Documentary Photography.

At some point in mid-2021, I was feeling a little discouraged by not being able to work on the projects I'd been planning. So, I turned my attention to improving my knowledge about the field of documentary storytelling in general. This is the first blog post documenting that process.

I've been self-studying to improve my knowledge of documentary photography.

I've been building resources that fit the course outline of a Photojournalism and Documentary Photography BA course. I'll update this page as I progress.

An ongoing list of online courses, talks, books and documentaries relating to documentary work, documentary photography and photojournalism.
