A fixer for the day in Istanbul is about 40-80$ depending on where/how/who you get them thru.<br /> Definitely recommend LS to get a better idea of local fixers/photographers willing to help. </p> http://www.foundryphotoworkshop.org/forum/topic/questionsconcerns#post-26 Sun, 16 May 2010 02:06:13 +0000 nityarao 26@http://www.foundryphotoworkshop.org/forum/ <p>How does one usually go about looking for a fixer? Other than lightstalkers is there any other forum I can post a msg to say I'm looking for one? </p> http://www.foundryphotoworkshop.org/forum/topic/questionsconcerns#post-15 Sun, 25 Apr 2010 18:49:00 +0000 mansi 15@http://www.foundryphotoworkshop.org/forum/ <p>Re Visa, Tourist visa is ok. </p> http://www.foundryphotoworkshop.org/forum/topic/questionsconcerns#post-12 Thu, 22 Apr 2010 17:23:24 +0000 nityarao 12@http://www.foundryphotoworkshop.org/forum/ <p>Hi,<br /> I'm applying for my visa and was wondering what category to apply under. I was going to select 'single entry tourist' but I found a specific category for ppl. coming in to film and photograph - <a href="http://www.konsolosluk.gov.tr/InfoNotes/IN_Item.aspx?ID=300" rel="nofollow">http://www.konsolosluk.gov.tr/InfoNotes/IN_Item.aspx?ID=300</a> and I was wondering if this is applicable to me. </p> <p>Also, was wondering who i should be talking to about a story idea I want to work. Need help finding contacts...<br /> Thanks,<br /> Nitya! </p> http://www.foundryphotoworkshop.org/forum/topic/questionsconcerns#post-11 Wed, 21 Apr 2010 18:01:31 +0000 mansi 11@http://www.foundryphotoworkshop.org/forum/ <p>Hey there,<br /> ok so to answer both your questions --</p> <p>- How to start researching your story - I think it's important to find something you're passionate about. Is it a sport? Is it a creative art form? Is it a personal story? Is it something about the culture that intrigues you? Find out what is available to you in Istanbul, what is accessible, will you need a translator/fixer to be able to approach them. The instructors will help you find a point of focus once you know what you are going to shoot. You can always bounce ideas off us. </p> <p>Eric will be adding to this...</p> <p>- It'll be of benefit to you if you have an idea about what you are going to photograph in the duration of the workshop - which is why we urge students to research, arrive a few days early, talk to local people etc. That way you hit the ground running and not spend time in the initial workshop days to search for a story.</p> <p>- Class placements are yet to happen and you will be contacted soon.</p> <p>mansi </p> http://www.foundryphotoworkshop.org/forum/topic/questionsconcerns#post-9 Sun, 18 Apr 2010 18:51:45 +0000 Anonymous 9@http://www.foundryphotoworkshop.org/forum/ <p>'when will we learn about class schedules and how to find our stories, and do we need to find our stories before we start the program' </p> http://www.foundryphotoworkshop.org/forum/topic/questionsconcerns#post-6 Sat, 17 Apr 2010 18:55:06 +0000 Anonymous 6@http://www.foundryphotoworkshop.org/forum/ <p>how do i start researching for a story? :) i would love some ideas.. :) </p> http://www.foundryphotoworkshop.org/forum/topic/questionsconcerns#post-4 Sat, 17 Apr 2010 17:19:17 +0000 Anonymous 4@http://www.foundryphotoworkshop.org/forum/ <p>Kirsten or myself would be happy to answer! </p>
