IRAQ PHOTO WORKSHOP

4–10 January 2027 · Baghdad to Erbil

OUR THIRD YEAR IN IRAQ

This is a working documentary workshop, not a photo tour. Seven days on the road with a small group, three mentors, and trusted local partners. You focus on the stories; we take care of the route, logistics, access, and daily review.

THE ROUTE

Baghdad — Al-Mutanabbi Street, the tea houses, and the Al-Shaheed Monument

Babylon — the ancient city and the people who live beside it

Najaf — Wadi al-Salam and the shrine of Imam Ali

Karbala — the shrines of Imam Hussein and Abbas

Mosul — the old city and its rebuilding

Erbil — the citadel and bazaar

YOUR MENTORS

Laurin Strele, Ethan Swope, and Roberto Flores. Three mentors in the field with you every day.

THE ESSENTIALS

Ten photographers maximum · Instruction in English

€4,500 per person

Includes hotels, breakfast, transport with driver, local guide, and daily reviews.
