Our world is hyper-connected, but it is also a world where isolation is increasing. Exploring the concept of connection, award winning photographer Birgit Krippner will work closely with a small group to pass on her experiences and teach skills that have helped shaped her career.
We are surrounded by screens and live in an age where images are everywhere, but what makes a great one? In this participatory workshop Birgit will explore the need for empathy and intimacy between photographer and subject. This workshop aims to bring together people from different stages and walks of life who have an interest in photography. Birgit will offer personal insight and her experiences, including how she creates connection with her subjects and has delivered photos that seem impossible.
You only need a smart phone that has a camera and no previous photography experience is required. This workshop encourages questions.
