CAMPUS PHE07, an initiative of the Consejería de Cultura y Deportes de la Comunidad de Madrid and PHotoEspaña, celebrates its fourth edition with 10 workshops and master classes given by international photographers in Aranjuez, Spain. The workshops, directed towards photographers, artists and university students, offer an opportunity to work with professionals specialized in different areas of the field. The master classes are conferences, which allow the participants and general public to learn about the trajectory of each instructor. This year we are pleased to host workshops by the following photographers:
