The well-known photographer Ferdi Limani will hold a training for documentary photography at Rezidenca 17, for a month. During this period, the participants, in addition to being introduced to Ferd’s work, will also learn more about photography techniques, the research phase and field work, the risks and challenges that are an integral part of this process. Each participant during this period will develop their photographic research project focusing on the topic of environmental protection.
In the late 90’s when his birthplace was in the middle of atrocities, Ferdi realized the importance of documenting history. After journalism studies he begun working for daily newspapers in Kosovo and collaborated with international news agencies. His work culminated when he was commissioned by the government of Kosovo to document the independence declaration. He produced work for various French and international media in Europe, Middle East and the Balkans. Besides his freelance work he is a contributor for Getty Images. Since 2022, Ferdi has been engaged in documenting the entire length of the Drin River, a project that aims to raise awareness of water pollution in Kosovo.
