Beyond style, beyond technique, beyond craft: Meg Hewitt’s workshop – in fact, her work – is about VOICE.
If you’re seeking your own visual voice, join one of her workshops…as I did!!!

I had an awesome time in Tokyo and really enjoyed the workshop. Great to be pushed to do things a bit out of the comfort zone (ie approaching people directly) and take on new challenges in a new location. Really got a lot of inspiration and encouragement from you, Marco and all the participants - which was very motivating. It’s great to learn from people whose work I admire, as I find this always helps me get closer to where I want to be with my work. So thanks for everything!! I have a lot to take away and think about and work on.

Seriously one of the best trips of my life, I made so much good work. There are so many great places to hang out and photograph in Tokyo.

During the workshop we were given complete freedom and were encouraged to explore Tokyo and photograph as we felt compelled which I loved. Every day we had comprehensive reviews of our images and then went out to shoot. Over the course of the workshop we were encouraged to develop a series or narrative with our work. Meg knows Tokyo very well and was able to offer great suggestions of places to go to help us develop our story. I found the construction of a narrative quite challenging, but it was invaluable learning and experience, and now I am starting to think about developing narrative in my own work with the view of how it could be presented as a series of cohesive images. Both Meg and Marco are a creative force and this rubs of on everyone over the workshop. We had great fun exploring the small bars of Shinjuku, the streets of Harajuku, traditional Japanese food and were lucky to experience Hanami the Japanese way. Thank you Meg and Marco for a most special and memorable learning and life experience!
