This workshop is about the city and about you within it.
About how unfamiliar space becomes personal.
How a place turns into a story.
And how observation transforms into a photographic series.

Over the course of a week, participants will move from getting to know a professional Canon camera and making their first images to developing their own project and presenting it in an exhibition.

We will begin with a conversation about what photography means today. We will explore how a place becomes “ours,” how light shapes the feeling of space, and how our personal perception influences the images we create. We will experience the city not only with our eyes, but with our bodies — noticing where we want to pause and where we feel the urge to move faster, observing light, details, and the rhythm of space.

Through urban drifts, observation, and hands-on practice, each participant’s internal map of the city will gradually take shape as a photographic series that becomes their final project.

A dedicated stage of the workshop will focus on printing and working with exhibition space: participants will print their photographs, experiment with sequencing, explore different display options, and prepare their projects for presentation.

The workshop will culminate in a final exhibition where each participant presents their work to an audience.
