The first MediaStorm workshop projects launched recently, featuring a fine cast of photographers including Lucy Nicholson of Reuters and Carolyn Cole of the Los Angeles Times. The workshops took place the first week in May, giving photographers a canvas to define a New Yorkcentric story with audio, video, stills, and production.

I recently took a look at Reuters photographer Lucy Nicholson's piece and was impressed with the combination of media Lucy utilized. She told the story of the famous New York Naked Cowboy from an intimate perspective, incorporating a narrative from his girlfriend as well as the Cowboy's described auto-biography. The quality of the editing and production work was class.

The workshop, if interested in attending, is not for amateurs. The admitted photographers in this first round are at the top of the photojournalism field. It's compelling that MediaStorm is single-handedly helping talented photographers compose multifaceted narratives.
