Kurt has taught photography at several leading art institutions in Hong Kong and have been guest speakers at numerous art colleges around the world. He has also lead workshops at several international photo festivals from Santa Fe to Kobe, from shooting new work to book making. However, with over 100 exhibitions, it is Kurt’s real world experience with exhibitions and book publishing that’s going to be the most valuable to potential mentees.
