Gitte Luk has concluded the third workshop of the DMJX educational programme in Cairo

In the last week of August 2026, Gitte luk conducted the workshop ‘Writing for Photojournalists’ as the third in a series of four DMJX workshops in Cairo made in co-operation with our partner Photopia Cairo and supported by the Embassy of Denmark in Cairo.

The aim of the DMJX educational programme is to educate 12 selected Egyptian photographers in the language of photojournalism. The programme consists of a series of four workshops and conclude with an exhibition and a publication showing the participants’ final projects.

The participants will receive teaching and work on individual assignments during the workshops. Each participant will do a major project in the period in between the third and fourth workshop. The participants will receive individual coaching while they work on the final major project.

After the fourth and final workshop, all stories will be published in a mutual magazine. The magazine will be posted online on DMJX Photojournalism’s webpage, and images from the stories and the spreads of the magazine will be exhibited in Cairo.

In May, Mads Greve conducted the first workshop focussing on Portraiture. In June, Søren Pagter taught the second workshop, Photojournalist Method. The fourth online workshop will have both Gitte Luk and Søren Pagter as instructors. During this fourth workshop, the students will do the final editing of the stories.

The final exhibition has been postponed and will take place at Photopia, January 14, 2027.
