The well-known photographer Ferdi Limani returns to Rezidenca 17 for another training session on documentary photography. During this period, the participants, in addition to being introduced to Ferdi’s work, will learn more about 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 and their projects will be presented to the public.
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.
