The main objective of the one-day workshop is to learn about one’s own role while working with other people in another environment. The photographic portrait is seen as a reflection of the artist. Through a series of lectures, projections and discussions, participants will find out how important the individual view is and learn to observe what seems trivial and mundane.
The workshop will concentrate on portraits from daily life and how to make sure that a stroke of luck works in a picture. Participants should bring a digital camera and portraits they have made previously.
