SEEING BEYOND: INTUITION AND PRESENCE IN PHOTOGRAPHY
Photography is more than making images—it’s a way of paying attention. This workshop invites participants to step away from expectation and technique-driven results, and instead discover how intuition and presence can guide the act of photographing.
We will begin with a review of participants’ existing work to better understand each personal approach. From there, daily exercises will encourage new ways of seeing: noticing what draws our attention, letting go of fixed ideas, and opening space for unplanned discoveries. Together, we will practice photography both individually and as a group in Athens, using the city as a living backdrop for exploration.
Critiques and conversations will be an integral part of the workshop. These sessions will help participants reflect on what is revealed through intuitive practice, and how photographs can carry meaning beyond what is visible on the surface.
By the end of the workshop, participants will have developed practical tools for working more intuitively, strategies for overcoming creative blocks, and a deeper confidence in their own way of seeing. The goal is not only to strengthen your photography, but also to cultivate presence—learning how to let a photograph bring you, and your viewer, fully into the moment.
