Workshops and seminars
In our workshop seminars “sharing.unofficial.pictures” we want to empower you to use photography and film for the exploration and expression of topics that are close to you and burning under your nails. In a time when everyone is constantly taking pictures anyway, whether with a smartphone for the digital picture frame or oldschool on film, and we are exposed to a growing “flood of pictures”, we think it is important that more people learn how to handle pictures responsibly and consciously. “Personal Photography” in the sense of exploring our own wishes, dreams and themes is an important part of our own artistic work. We accompany you in a kind of creative coaching to acquire these approaches and to use them for yourself.
Current formats
With photo projects it easily happens that you get lost in one direction, get stuck somehow, lose the overview or simply need a fresh view from outside. With this programme we support you through one-to-one sessions with your documentary, journalistic and artistic photo projects. The focus is entirely on developing and implementing your own ideas, at your own pace and according to your wishes and needs.
We, as graduated documentary photographers with experience from a variety of our own projects and workshops, will advise you in all phases of your project – no matter if you are undecided about which idea you want to realize, if you are looking for inspiration for an approach or if you are unsure how to proceed. If you have technical questions or need help with the selection of images, the layout of a photo book or the conception of an exhibition, we are also happy to be your consultant.
