Canon hosted a week long professional photography workshop in Nairobi. 

Photojournalist Gary Knight conducted the seminar and encouraged attendees to build their professional photography portfolio by producing a story or suite of images.

The evening guest lectures were open to the public and given by renowned professional photographers including, Jonathan and Angela Scott, two times Pulitzer Prize winner Tyler Hicks of the New York Times, award winning Kenyan photographer Boniface Mwangi, AFP staff videographer and photographer Nichole Sobecki and independent documentary photographer and resident of South Africa, Mariella Furrer.

Anurag Agrawal, Managing Director, Canon Middle East said: “Through Canon’s professional workshops we are able to provide educational opportunities in communities where access to institutional photography education is costly and limited.”

Canon Middle East was recently recognized for its CSR efforts by the Dubai Chamber and received the CSR Label for the third consecutive year.
