Alon Skuy is the gift that keeps on giving. We are so fortunate to have been able to bring him to Natchez through the Arts Danu Teaching Artist Residency Program. We were invited by Tamla Hughes to give a talk to television production students at Natchez High. The talk led to an outdoor photo excursion and a student interview of Alon. ♥️

People and Spaces Masterclass
with Alon Skuy
March 28, 2026
12:00 - 3:00 pm
Conde Contemporary
334 Main Street, Natchez

Arts Danu presents a three-hour adult masterclass with award-winning South African photojournalist Alon Skuy, a visual storyteller known for his compelling images of conflict, resilience, and the overlooked corners of everyday life. Trained at Johannesburg’s Market Photo Workshop and formerly Chief Photographer for The Sunday Times and The Times, Skuy brings a depth of experience that illuminates how people and the places they inhabit shape one another within the frame.

In People and Spaces, participants will explore the relationship between subject and environment through discussions on composition, environmental portraiture, and the ethical considerations central to photojournalism. Skuy will examine how location informs identity, how individuals can be anchored or defined by the spaces around them, and how to create images that reveal the dialogue between person and place.

The workshop includes theory, an on-location photography session in downtown Natchez, followed by a return to the classroom for group conversation about the work created.

This adult workshop is offered at $40 per person, and Alon Skuy is generously donating 100% of ticket proceeds to Arts Danu to support free, high-quality arts education for students throughout the Miss-Lou.
