Otrdien, 16. augustā, plkst. 18.00 aicinām uz pazīstamo fotogrāfu Paolo Vudsa un Federiko Klavarino publiskām lekcijām - darbu prezentācijām. Vudss un Klavarino Latvijā viesojās, lai pasniegtu meistarklases vienpadsmitajā Starptautiskajā fotogrāfijas vasaras skolā (ISSP) Kuldīgas novadā.

Paolo Vudss (Paolo Woods) ir viens no mūsdienu dokumentālās fotogrāfijas meistariem, kas savos ilgtermiņa projektos izmanto pētnieciskās žurnālistikas pieeju. Savulaik vadījis fotogrāfijas galeriju, Vudss ir četru grāmatu autors, kurās sadarbojies ar atzītiem rakstniekiem un māksliniekiem. Pēdējais projekts "The Heavens", kuru autors veidoja kopā ar fotogrāfu Gabrielu Galimbertī, ir pirmais mēģinājums ar fotogrāfijas palīdzību attainot sarežģīto un pretrunīgo ofšoru pasauli. Projekts tika prezentēts pagājušā gada Arlas Fotofestivālā, kur tas kļuva par vienus no galvenajiem festivāla notikumiem.

Federiko Klavarino (Federico Clavarino) ir itāļu jaunās paaudzes fotogrāfs, kas kļuvis pazīstams ar savām smalkām fotoesejām par mūsdienu Dienvideiropas kultūru spozmi un postu. Klavarino izdevis trīs autogrāmatas, to skaitā "Italia o Italia", kas tika augsti novērtēta un ieguva vairākas starptautiskās balvas. Klavarino ir pasniedzējs BlankPaper fotogrāfijas skolā Madridē.
