Heritage Documentation Workshop, Cairo
Egyptian Heritage Rescue Foundation, Supported by the British Council
October 2018
As part of my work with the Egyptian Heritage Rescue Foundation in Cairo, I led a photography workshop for EHRF personnel. The objective was to develop the team’s understanding of photography to more effectively document the vulnerable Islamic heritage of Cairo.
Many of the workshop participants had previously been using compact cameras, photographing in .jpg format with automated camera settings. In the workshop I encouraged the participants to develop a greater understanding of the capabilities of DSLR and Mirrorless cameras, photographing in raw format with more control over ISO, shutter speed and aperture.
