The PDP focuses heavily on inculcating a critical awareness of socio-political issues, cultural contexts, and contemporary media practices and perspectives, as they appear within the broader South African landscape.
DurationThe Photojournalism and Documentary Photography Programme (PDP) was established in 2005, with the aim of broadening the availability of photography training for aspiring photojournalists in South Africa, the sub-region – and further afield on the continent.
The PDP focuses heavily on inculcating a critical awareness of socio-political issues, cultural contexts, and contemporary media practices and perspectives, as they appear within the broader South African landscape.
The methodologies and perspectives employed throughout the course are specific and contextual, and would suite students with a keen interest in African affairs.
Students from other parts of the world who have a proven interest in exploring and documenting issues in Africa may also apply for the PDP. In keeping with the ethos of the Market Photo Workshop, there is a particular emphasis on recruiting learners from disadvantaged communities and from sectors of the media that may have limited exposure to important debates on photography (notably media in outlying and rural areas).
Students will be able to communicate with confidence, start up independent photography businesses, work in Photoshop and Lightroom, be able to navigate social media and use it as a branding tool, work confidently in the studio, and learn how to control light in any situation.
Students have the opportunity to conceptualise a project, learning how to create a project proposal, budgeting, and creating an exhibition, enabling them to apply for funding opportunities within the photography industry.
This qualification has been developed for learners who work or intend to work as junior journalists and who seek recognition for essential competence.
This unique programme is a multi-faceted look at journalism as it exists today, incorporating print journalism, radio & television journalism, journalistic photography as well as online and other interactive forms of news media.
Knowledge and understanding in areas such as, but not limited to conducting research for investigative stories by means of sourcing relevant information, writing techniques specifically used in investigative journalism reporting practices.
