He and his brother Gavin (aka The Bragdon Brothers) will be leading a workshop in Street Photography as part of the Venice Carnival.

The workshop will be held in Venice, at Xframe Studio (www.xframestudio.com) on February 24th, 25th and 26th 2017 from 9.30 A.M. till 6.30 P.M (7 1/2 hours per day). The total price for subscription is € 280,00. The rate doesn't include food, transportation or accomodation expenses. Special offer: 20% discount will be refunded to the first two participants at the end of the workshop.

"When we first saw the work of the Bragdon brothers, we immediately thought they would be perfect for the challenge of holding a workshop to showcase a different side of Venice. They are exceptional street photographers, their view is never banal and digs deep into the details and essence of the subjects they photograph".
