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 Alessandra Capodacqua curates a series of talks and workshops by renowned international documentary photographers who present their work and discuss the importance 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 training and individual feedback on students´work.
