— What can a photograph reveal beyond what the eye can see?

In this new series of workshops, we explore photography beyond technique —as a living form of expression, observation, and communication. At the heart of the course is Street Photography · the art of discovering the extraordinary in the everyday, capturing the “decisive moment, and reading the pulse of the city.

Through the lens, we explore light, shadows, composition, the representation of public space, and fleeting moments, seeking ways to capture character, emotion, and authentic human stories.


How will we work?

The workshop combines in-depth theoretical exploration with hands-on practice:

  • Studying the Work of Great Photographers: We explore the legacy and distinctive vision of leading street photographers, including Henri Cartier-Bresson, André Kertész, Vivian Maier, Robert Frank, and Garry Winogrand, examining the techniques, composition, and philosophy behind their iconic images.
  • Texts & Theory: We read and discuss texts on photographic practice, aesthetics, semiotics, and the ethics of street photography, developing our critical thinking.
  • Documentary Screenings: We draw inspiration from selected documentaries exploring the lives and working methods of photographers, as well as the lesser-known stories behind their photographic journeys.
  • Photo Walks: We take our learning out into the streets! We put ideas into practice, learning to move discreetly through the urban landscape, anticipate moments as they unfold, and photograph with confidence.

The workshop is open to beginners and more experienced photographers alike —to anyone who wants to move beyond simply taking pictures, develop their own visual identity, and tell their own stories through photography!
