Dates & Time: 17.04.2026 & 24.04.2026, 18:00-21:00
Total hours per session: 3
Workshop language: English or Greek, depending on the needs of the participants
Participation fee: 35 euros / person (for both sessions)
Detailed Description: We meet to talk about the images we love (or would love to take), how we "read" them, and how we could express ourselves through them (no previous experience or special equipment are required). We bring our favorite photograph, discuss it, learn basic photographic principles, and... take pictures! Using the image we have chosen as a starting point, we will discuss what it means to take photographs and how a camera (or a mobile phone) can be used, sowing the seeds for our own photography project. In a two-session creative workshop, we will explore photographic techniques, learn about the work of selected photographers, and investigate the ethical use of the photographic medium – with the aim of better understanding our personal intentions and discovering new ways of personal expression.
Goals & Context: The aim of this workshop is to allow participants to use photography as a concious medium of expression, and familiarise them with its power of storytelling, raising awareness and enriching imagination. At the same time, through this process, participants will be able to have a better understanding of ethical issues raised when photographing people, places and things. Bringing closer artists and non-professionals, it can function as a starting point of understanding art not as a luxury, not as a privillage, but as a vital aspect of our lives.
