The 4th edition of the KYOTOGRAPHIE International Photography Festival will be held from April 23–May 22 2016, presenting 15 innovative exhibitions around the theme “Circle of Life” all shown in iconic Kyoto venues with original scenography.

The exhibitions & events create opportunities, bringing people together of all ages, cultures, and backgrounds. Now recognized as one of the world’s leading photography events, KYOTOGRAPHIE has attracted some 157,000 visitors from across Japan and overseas in three editions since 2013.

Education & Public Program

KYOTOGRAPHIE provides a nurturing environment for its visitors, bringing a full range of educational programs to the city.  There are five main outreach categories: The KYOTOGRAPHIE International Portfolio Review, Masterclass & Workshop, KYOTOGRAPHIE Kids Program, the Public Program and finally an Education Outreach Program.

During KYOTOGRAPHIE, Faculty member Stephanie de Rouge, ICP’s official representative, has planned several activities:

KYOTOGRAPHIE x ICP EDITING SESSION

Participants of the International Portfolio Review are given the chance to engage in an editing session of their work with Stéphanie de Rougé. This gives photographers in all stages of their career the best chance for new opportunities. More details on KYOTOGRAPHIE website.

ICP Masterclass

On Assignment – Portraiture

In this three-day masterclass (April 25 - 27), Stephanie de Rouge will teach how to successfully respond to a portraiture photography assignment. The Masterclass will go through a systematic and very precise workflow: the research phase (putting together a quote, preparing and packing gear, discussing the job with the client, etc). The shooting phase (scouting the available space for backgrounds, lighting, interacting with the model, etc.), and the final phase (editing, retouching, delivery and billing).

This class is intended to high level or professional photographers who shoot portraiture on assignment. Application through KYOTOGRAPHIE website.
