Portraits Through Time

About the event

In this workshop, participants will explore portrait photography, examining how portraits reflect identity, memory, and power across historical and cultural contexts. They will receive a technical introduction to medium and large-format photography, including film loading, focusing, and exposure. Working in pairs, participants will create portraits that express personal narratives, then move into the darkroom to develop their own film under expert guidance. The session concludes with a reflection on their creative process and details on scanning and receiving their final portraits.

Language: English

What will you learn?
Participants will learn how to handle medium and large-format cameras, master compositional techniques, and gain practical experience in developing film using traditional darkroom methods.

Who is it for?
This workshop is perfect for anyone interested in photography, visual storytelling, or exploring the cultural and historical significance of portraiture.
