The aim of the Documentary Photography: Through the Lens series is to explore photography as a visual language to communicate ideas - political, religious, social and environmental - and to build a narrative that creates interesting intersections between the personal and the public. 

NYU Florence professor and photographer Alessandra Capodacqua curates a series of talks and workshops by renowned international documentary photographers who present their work and discuss the important of documenting our world through photography. A series of workshops allows students to work in small groups with the photographers, who further share their experience and expertise, provide practical traning and individual feedback on students´ work.
