Steve McCurry is one of the world’s most iconic photographers and this May he is offering budding photographers the chance to learn something from the master himself. A limited number of participants will spend time with McCurry learning to take magazine quality images and observe him at work.

The 2010 Weekend Workshops with Steve McCurry will take place in May, and registration for the May 27-30 workshop is now open. On-assignment shoots, discussions and workshops will be held with just six other photographers.

For more information on the Workshops see click here to book.
