Announcing the 2018 Nikon-Noor academy masterclasses
Nikon Europe and the NOOR Foundation are excited to announce the program of the 2018 Nikon-NOOR Academy. The Academy will launch a new series of free-of-charge masterclasses for young, aspiring and talented documentary photographers in Poland, Sweden and Belgium.
During each of the four-day trainings, 15 participants, together with three NOOR photographers will share experiences, work on portfolios, improve editing skills and learn how to develop visual stories. The Nikon-NOOR Academy is a unique opportunity to learn impactful visual storytelling, further develop personal vision, strengthen ongoing projects and gain new knowledge and contacts in an intimate and interactive environment.
Participants can get the most out of the experience when they come to the masterclass with a body of work they are currently developing, editing, working on and/or thinking about how to share with audiences. Thus, applicants are encouraged to include this work and indicate what they want to explore in relation to the work in their application portfolio and motivation statement. Below you will find more information on each masterclass.
- Teaching in Warsaw, Poland: Nina Berman, Tanya Habjouqa & Sebastian Liste
- Teaching in Stockholm, Sweden: Yuri Kozyrev, Jon Lowenstein & Kadir van Lohuizen

The NOOR-Nikon Academy is a unique opportunity to learn impactful visual storytelling, further develop personal vision, strengthen ongoing projects and gain new knowledge and contacts in an intimate and interactive environment.

All experienced teachers and lecturers, NOOR photographers are actively engaged in their own documentary practices, current debates in the field and in the development of the next generation of photographic talent.

Reactions from previous NOOR-Nikon educational programs:
“Photography is part education and part evolution of one’s talent. This was my first workshop and it was an enriching experience. I learned more in these days than probably I could have learned in a year working in the field.”
– Bogdan Chesaru, Romania (NOOR-Nikon Masterclass, Bucharest, Romania)
“The workshop was fantastic! Meeting with NOOR photographers and very talented people from our region is a great opportunity. You should continue organizing programs for regional cooperation among young photographers. I got great tips about storytelling, editing, grants and bookmaking!”
– Ozge Sebzeci, Turkey (NOOR-Nikon Masterclass, Istanbul, Turkey)
“The masterclass helped to draw an overall picture of my career. The experiences shared by NOOR helps to make a long-term plan.”
– Elyor Nematov, Kyrgyzstan (NOOR-Nikon Masterclass, Almaty, Kazakhstan)

Announcing new members & nominees
NOOR is proud to announce important outcomes of the NOOR Annual General Meeting that took place in Amsterdam, in September 20-24th, 2017.
NEW NOMINEES
NOOR welcomes three new nominees: Arko Datto (India), Leonard Pongo (Belgium / Democratic Republic of the Congo) and Sanne De Wilde (Belgium).
About the three nominees, NOOR’s Managing Director Clement Saccomani shares: ”Having Sanne, Arko and Leonard join NOOR helps us to continue to confront dominant narratives using visual storytelling with integrity and passion. We exist to inspire empathy and action. These storytellers share with us this mission and will play an important role in helping us to achieve it.”
Sanne de Wilde states: “Call me naive, but I believe in the power of the photo-family. Connecting people who share ideals, differ in opinion, reach for the same goals, exchange ideas; eager to learn, teach, share. I see NOOR as a colorful bunch of people where I could add another touch of color to.”
NEW MEMBERS
NOOR photographers Tanya Habjouqa and Robin Hammond were voted in unanimously as full members joining the agency as shareholders.
Tanya Habjouqa says: ”I have found my transnational tribal storytelling family. The character, eccentricity, passion, intellect, curiosity, and integrity of this group inspires one to push further and further. To aspire to more. We find ourselves stronger together.”
Robin Hammond states: “A year ago I had the honor of being accepted as a NOOR nominee. Since then, by working with the NOOR office, I’ve seen my work reach more people, and have a greater impact. The members of the agency have been a constant source of inspiration and support. I’m really grateful now, at the Annual General Meeting in Amsterdam, to have been accepted as a full member into the NOOR family.”
NOOR in Amsterdam | September 2017
NOOR Annual General Meeting will take place this year in Amsterdam between September 21-24th. It will bring together the agency’s international photographers & staff to discuss photography, visual storytelling, ideas, company business and vote on potential new members.
