"Strangely Familiar" Workshop

This workshop invites you to discover what your work could become when you stop chasing technical perfection and start following your artistic intuition.

Over four intensive days, you will move beyond the limiting labels of photography and into territory that feels both unsettling and strangely familiar. It is a space where the line between what you know and what you sense begins to blur, and a more authentic vision can emerge.

Through lectures and collaborative discussions, you will explore how concepts, ideas, and emotions translate into images. We will examine not just how to photograph, but why, connecting your personal vision to the act of making work that matters. Between sessions, you will photograph with new eyes, guided to embrace uncertainty and reconsider your relationship with reality.

What you will learn:

• How to clarify and articulate your personal vision, and connect it consciously to the images you make

• How to work beyond technical habits and photographic genres, using intuition as a creative tool

• Ways to translate ideas, emotions, and lived experience into coherent photographic work

• How to evaluate your images through critique grounded in personal intent

• How to photograph within uncertainty, allowing the unfamiliar and the unresolved to inform your practice

• Easy to understand, practical information
