POYi IRIS Nights Free Lecture Series Continues
POYi IRIS Nights Guest Lecturer David Burnett
With Top Photojournalist David Burnett
Thursday, August 6th, 6:30pm-8:00pm

David Burnett is a photojournalist with more than four decades of experience covering the news and tempo of our age. In a recent issue of American Photo magazine Burnett was named one of the "100 Most Important People in Photography." He is known as someone who can, no matter how challenging the assignment, return with 'the picture'. This year POYi honored Burnett with an “Award of Excellence” for images captured during the US presidential election, which are also featured in the print exhibit at the Annenberg Space for Photography.

Please join us on August 6th, from 6:30-8:00pm to hear David Burnett discuss his career in photography. As a special treat, Mr. Burnett will be bringing books that can be purchased for signing after the lecture has concluded.

We also wanted to let you know that in addition to the Photo Space lecture, David Burnett has another upcoming appearance in Los Angeles. The Julia Dean Photo Workshops (JDPW) is presenting a workshop with David Burnett, "Developing Skills as a Magazine Photographer," August 7-9th. This short but engaging weekend will illumine what makes a magazine photographer tick - spinning ideas, turning them into pictures and trying to formulate a series of photographs that will tell a story. Students will start with the most elemental photograph, the portrait, and will build upon this fundamental image to develop their individual photographic style and voice. To enroll or to obtain further information please visit: juliadean.com.

The Julia Dean Photo Workshops is a practical education school of photography devoted to advancing the skills and increasing the personal enrichment of photographers of all experience levels and ages.
