This workshop will be an experience made of invention, thought, fantasy and versatility to realize and witness our own sensitivity and identity. It’s an adventurous thought that corageously breaks the rules as creative photography needs to find its expression through the removal of memory and the exploration of unknown land. Where there’s change, there’s growth e in that growth you will find your identity. I have no models to give you, nor values to rent, only the freedom to express yourselves as authors.
