Before the official opening of the World Press Photo 2023, the DMJX students attended three lectures held at Politiken’s Hus. In the first lecture, DMJX alumni Maria Albrechtsen Mortensen (sitting in the back) talked about her work as a videographer at the Royal Danish Theatre. Maria talked about the benefit of having access and how knowing the people you work with can give more depth in your stories. She showed examples of her visually strong video stories.
