forums will help photographers to effectively address these challenges.
– Marina, what do you think is the
main result of the project?
– I believe the most important result of our project is the promotion of
person-to-person contacts between
photographers from the Eastern Partnership region. It gives me pleasure
to watch photographers interact. Importantly, they used to have no networking opportunities. There used to
be some sporadic projects organized
within the framework of cooperation
between photographers from neighboring countries – Ukraine and Belarus or
Moldova and Ukraine. However, personto-person contacts between photographers from, say, Belarus and Georgia,
Azerbaijan and Moldova, were virtually
nonexistent. Currently photographers
communicate in social networks; they
have also established personal contacts
and found common interests. For example, I was very excited to watch a photo
flashmob on my Facebook news feed, as
the participants in our projects have
been “photo challenging” each other to
post one black-and-white picture every
day and invite new people to participate. Importantl 䰁ѡ
